Like always, I’m keen to see some classics get a modern treatment.
Metroid is sitting pretty on that list for example.
I would love a sequel to Mario and Rabbids, and of course Smash Bros
Yeah I’m with them.
Animal Crossing, Smash Bros and Pokemon would be my top 3 as well.
Though I’d probably put Pokemon before Smash Bros personally.
Not. That’s pretty much what I’d expect to see on any list of this nature. The surprise though is that most of them are coming West as well.
Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties. Just has to be.
A killer app on any system.
