Topic: Is there a 'forgotten' Nintendo franchise that you want to see on the Wii U?

no this was going to be a sequel to diddy kong racing its not DK barrel blast

Diddy Kong Pilot [later became Banjo-Pilot due to RareWare's move to Microsoft]

Diddy Kong Pilot is actually the sequel to Diddy Kong Racing.

Custom Robo
Ice Climbers
Earthbound
Balloon Fighter

There is a lot of forgotten franchise from Nintendo and I for one would think it would be cool to see some of the on the Wii U but not so much it creates new forgotten franchises =P

marvelous - super nintendo game, never got released outside of japan. was the first title eiji aonuma got involved with years before his involvement with the zelda franchise http://nintendo.wikia.com/wiki/Marvelous:_M%C5%8Dhitotsu_no_T...

@misswliu81 I agree with Dynamic blade/Dynamic slash/Zangeki no reginleiv. That game looked awesome, I wish it got a western release.

Wild Gunman.

Just imagine what a modern game would be like with that title.

That was a fantastic article. Great to read about all of these titles in one place. Thanks!

(Mostly...) Pretty neat list, but no mention of...

or

FAIL.

it said in the article it is supposed to be a 3rd person-hack and slash type game. makes me wonder if this was the game where nintendo borrowed the idea of this for skyward sword's controls.

you're welcome. i too found it really interesting. if only nintendo chose to localise these games in the west.

catroots, for the N64 http://www.unseen64.net/2008/04/04/catroots-n64-proto-tech-demo/

doshin the giant - gamecube http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doshin_the_Giant

I wanna see nintendo buy the rights to Banjo and Conker. Do some justice to those games and yeah F-Zero and Mother (never played it before am I missing out?)

super mario spikers- interestingly, it's a combination of volleyball and wrestling. was supposed to be released for the wii http://www.unseen64.net/2011/08/06/super-mario-spikers-wii-pr...

I'm honestly surprised that the Ice Climbers haven't been given a reboot. They have appeared in 2 smash bros. and still don't have another game beyond the NES.

all the rareware games.

I would love to see a follow-up to Eternal Darkness made for Wii U. Can you imagine the insanity effects that could happen in HD?

M-O-T-H-E-R

Balloon Fight, Ice Climber, F-Zero, EarthBound (except the series seems complete, maybe a remake)
