Years ago, my friend’s older sister had StarTropics, but since I was a poor 4-year old who couldn’t possibly afford a NES, I had to just watch her play it. Recently, I’ve wanted to play it again but I couldn’t remember what it was called. Thank you so much for giving this to me.

Perkoff,

Agreed. Punch Out would be a great game to bring to the Wii.

Punch Out is one they forgot about. They had it on the NES and a Super version on the SNES and nothing after that. It’s the perfect game for the Wii. I hope they remember about that one and make a game.

“a yo-yo toting youth out to save his archaeologist”

Ah, I always wondered where that ability was from on Kirby’s Super Star.

Which is a note that was not included, Mike did indeed make a cameo in Kirby’s Super Star as an ability.

Actraiser! Sure, the sequel required god-like skill to beat, but the original was a classic.

close…

1. Kid Icarus
2. Pilotwings
3. Adventures of Lolo
4. Star Tropics
5. Wrecking Crew

Super Mario RPG has a half dozen sequels, just cause they are a different developer doesn’t prevent them from being part of the same series (look at star fox, f-zero, metroid, etc.)

There needs to be a Punch-Out for the Wii. The wiimote/nunchuck controls just beg for it!

Super Mario RPG is one of my fav games ever

I almost think Mother/EarthBound belongs on this list, simply because Nintendo of America stubbornly continues to pretend it doesn’t exist (despite characters in Smash Brothers).

I can’t believe nobody brings up the Golgo 13 games in these lists. Those were two of my favorite NES games ever, and Golgo 13 is still a popular character in Japanese Manga. Will we ever see another Golgo 13 game?

hmmm.. Not really sure what to say about this. What exactly is wrong with the franchises they are using today? The ones that arent Zelda,Mario, DK? Nothing IMO. But I do want to let you know that its already known at least 1 classic Nintendo franchise is OTW to the Wii. We just dont know what that games are yet but its probably one of the ones you listed. Also I think the Square Mario RPG is already in the works.
