Let the disappointment begin!

Seriously, though--Punch-out! with balance board support and online play would rock.

Ah, fair enough. Let the hype and speculation begin again!

Pretty much. You might as well start doing the same right now just to warm up (when in Rome and all that you know).

Cant wait to see the new DS, if there is one.

Jiggy · (10-02-2008, 05:26 AM)

I don't know about anyone else, but I for one am holding out for:

An internally-developed Star Fox Wii with no on-foot missions, F-Zero WX with a track builder, a new 2D Metroid on DS, Pokemon Trading Card Game DS, Adventures of Lolo on WiiWare or DS with a level creator, a WiiWare Mario in the style of SMB3, Four Swords Adventures with online co-op, Baten Kaitos DS, Pokemon Gold/Silver remakes, a DS compilation of Mother 1-3, Kirby Wii with newly-revealed online co-op, Punch-Out with Wii MotionPlus, Star Tropics 3 on DS, Super Princess Peach 2 featuring playable Daisy, WiiWare Kid Icarus still playing on a 2D plane, and a modern remake of Link's Awakening.

And also the announcement of a new yearly-release series of $30 single-player cel-shaded Wii co-op adventures using the Kirby Super Star Ultra engine and implementing various third-party characters along with Nintendo stars.

Clearly these things are coming!
