Thinking... Thinking... - Image 1Nintendo will soon announce a mystery sequel to a highly successful series. Don't ask how we know it, we just do. We have special abilities... Nah, we're just messing with you because this next one has got us thinking all day long. And we need your help.

We picked all of these from Gamefront. According to the folks there, the latest issue of magazine Nintendo Dream announced that a sequel to a famous series will be announced soon. Unfortunately, they didn't give any information whatsoever. We've translated everything they've got to say regarding the matter:

Nintendo Dream: "Successor of famous series is soon revealed"


Japanese Nintendo Dream it announces in its newest expenditure that soon the successor of a famous series is revealed. With details (e.g. manufacturers) the magazine holds back itself.


Now the million dollar question is "What series are we talking about here?" What do you think, guys? We'll gather all our resources and use our special abilities to sniff out info, and then we'll tell you if we find out anything. So stick around.

I'm guessing zelda or red steel


   Re: uh-duh (Unregistered) - 2007-01-18
 » a series

Red Steel isn't a series yet, a sequal would make it a series

 » my guess

Kid Icarus came to mind immediately for myself. That is one of the only games that hasnt been made over and over but deserves to be. And Ive never seen it in 3D and they already have a Kid Icarus for the Super Smash Bros Brawl. They could even come out with an attachment to the wiimote that could turn your controller into a bow with a string. how far you pull the string determines how far the arrow will go. in 3D!!!! That would be soo cool.

They have Kid Icarus for NES, and gameboy and it is a long awaited sequel for many nintendo fans.

Let it be Kid Icarus!!! Call it Kid Wiicarus for all I care.

Kid Icarus ???


   Re: Luc (Unregistered) - 2007-01-18

Lol. Kid Icarus would be cool...

But it's probably gonna be Mario 2008 or something equally "Surprising".

   Re: gggLITCH - 2007-01-18
 » hells yeah

it would be great! but the proof of this being true is pit being in smash brothers.

 » kender00

okay they said series, zelda has been done already on the wii so I'd say it's too soon for another one

Icarus never really obtained the title "Series"

we already know about the new mario and metroid games.... I'm assuming it's going to be a nintendo published series.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say donkey kong.

 » Donkey Kong

has to be Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong was a successful series, Kirby games were great but I wouldn't call it a successful series same as Star Fox.

I remember reading a while ago about a new Zelda already in the works. This may be it.


   Re: brinztar (Unregistered) - 2007-01-18
 » ur rite

a new zelda for wii already has a year in deep development and it has already been anounced. my guess is animal crossing or dk.

   Re: Paka (Unregistered) - 2007-01-20

Animal Crossing and DK have already been announced

 » I SAY A NEW KINGDOM HEARTS

IT COULD BE A NEW KINGDOM HEARTS.BECAUSE THEY SAID a highly successful series AND KINGDOM HEARTS IS a highly successful series AND THEY BEEN SAYING THEY MAKE IT FOR WII SO THIS COULD BE IT

CAN IT BE DK

 » Donkey Kong

Nintendo owns the rights to the Donkey Kong name remember Donkey Kong for the arcade in the 1980s when RARE didnt even exist! Rare just made the DK games under a license but it was Nintendo who owns it.
   by Just_ A_Guy (Unregistered) - 2007-01-18
 » the sequal

the most likely franchises would be:

1) Star Fox (I hope!)
2) Donkey Kong
3) Kirby (I hope!)
4) Pikmin
5) Fire Emblem?
6) Zelda (will it make TP look bad?)
7) A real pokémon game?
8) The earthbound we have all been waiting for? (I really hope this happens!)
9) F-Zero?

These are the most likely guesses I have! What do you think of this list?

 » probubly

star fox,pikmin,or kirby.wasnt there suppossed to be a kirby for the cube where like 4 people were stcked on top of each other?

   Re: Suan (Unregistered) - 2007-01-18
 » 2123

I hope they make a Star Fox game similar to the N64 one on the Wii that be sweet. Star Fox 64 was my favorite N64 game of all time gosh that game *****ing owned!

   Re: blah (Unregistered) - 2007-01-18
 » @ just a guy

well they diffently already announce the FIre Emblem sequel Goddess of Dawns and with Pokemon Battle Revolution coming out I doubt it'll be that either. And definitely no chance of Zelda.

But yeah about the Kirby game there was supposed to be one for GC like the last good game but I guess it got canceled or better yet its getting moved to Wii like Super Paper Mario

 » banjo kazooie...?

i loved that game as a kid, i'd enjoy a nostaligic feeling platform like that. I certainly wish it was earthbound, but i wouldnt consider that a 'series'


   Re: Ninja D (Unregistered) - 2007-01-18
 » i wish

ahhh, i wish it were true. but Rare is now Microsoft's property. They're making a Banjo Kazooie for X360.

   Re: Sayenthy (Unregistered) - 2007-01-18
 » earthbound

Actually, Earthbound is the second game in a series. It's just the only game in said series that was released in the US. The others are in Japan.

   Re: brinztar (Unregistered) - 2007-01-18
 » yes

the reason i got the 360 is banjo-kazooie. all i have is gears of war and carbon. kazooie is all that matters on the 360 for me. gears of war is also cool.

 » Wii

I think it's Castlevania? 'cause his producer said that "they are making a new Castlevania game" but he didn't mention the console...


   Re: Just_a_guy (Unregistered) - 2007-01-18
 » wait a second...

I never thought of this game as being on the list! Dang...
   by pizzamanopenup (Unregistered) - 2007-01-18
 » It's not gonna be something expected.

I'm betting since Mario Galaxy / Mario Kart / Smash Bros are all already in the works, and zelda already came out, I think it will be either Banjo Kazooie, Donkey Kong, or possibly star fox.

could be mario kart or pokemon


   Re: blah (Unregistered) - 2007-01-18
 » Possibly

Possibly Mario Kart, but definitely not Pokemon since Battle Revolution hasn't even came out yet. Castlevania is a good guess too

Super Smash Brothers 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i remember capcom saying they were going to develop a resident evil for the wii a while ago... but they didnt say if it was going to be re5 or a new title in the series like re gun survivor or something like that... and the creator of mgs also said he was very interested in working for the wii and as far as im concerned these 2 series are really succesful

1.Metal Gear Solid (Spinoff?)
2.An addition to a Square Enix Compilation (a la FFXII, FFVII)

 » Problaby not anyhting special

Nintendo is known for hyping stuff then when they finally annouce it it really surprises noone. I am going out on a limb here and saying either Pilot Wings or either F-Zero or maybe even just plain old Wave Race lol.

Mario Party was already announced and should come out in March, but I remember Reggie saying he wanted Grand Theft Auto so I wonder if they are finally gonna announce it as a done deal

   by The Wii-Tard (Unregistered) - 2007-01-19
 » It cant be any of these
