Mysterious sequel coming to Wii

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

Kid Icarus ???

Lol. Kid Icarus would be cool...



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

by kender00 - 2007-01-18 07:54
» 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.

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

by DDR - 2007-01-18 08:14
» 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

IT CANT BE MS OWNS IT

by Just_ A_Guy - 2007-01-18 08:18
» 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?

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?

by styrofoam - 2007-01-18 08:21
» 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'

by Kent007 - 2007-01-18 08:24
» 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.

by Kent007 - 2007-01-18 08:26
» 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 Wii - 2007-01-18 09:20
» 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...

by Just_a_guy - 2007-01-18 09:38
» wait a second...

I never thought of this game as being on the list! Dang...

by uh-duh - 2007-01-18 09:54
» a series

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

by pizzamanopenup - 2007-01-18 10:00
» 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.

by Kent007 - 2007-01-18 10:10

» its obvious

the best 3 games coming out for wii. its either supersmash bros brawl supermario galaxy or metroid prime 3

by Ninja D - 2007-01-18 10:13
» i wish

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

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

by Sayenthy - 2007-01-18 11:15
» 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.

by brinztar - 2007-01-18 11:23
» 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.

by brinztar - 2007-01-18 11:26
» 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.

by brinztar - 2007-01-18 11:31
» aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh

oh man, so AWESOME i cant wait for super smash 3!!!! yeah so cool (opens bear can and foam spreads through the whole room) yes it is so ovious!!!!!! wait, it already got anounced? dang it, this bear was expensive. dont get me exited like that.

by mrpikmin - 2007-01-18 12:08
» 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?

» WRONG!

» 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!

by Invisible Kid - 2007-01-18 14:16
» hmmm

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

by blah - 2007-01-18 14:31
» @ 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

by blah - 2007-01-18 14:34
» Possibly

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

by canuck - 2007-01-18 14:52
» Possible Ideas...

1.Metal Gear Solid (Spinoff?)

2.An addition to a Square Enix Compilation (a la FFXII, FFVII)

3.I hope Kingdom Hearts III even though I'm a sony fan

Hey Dontay and brinztar, its super smash bros BRAWL not 3

by beez kneez - 2007-01-18 15:21
» lOOK

Its probally another Starfox to make up for the crap ass GC version or just another Luigis mansion

by Loco - 2007-01-18 15:24
» hmmm

Not a single person has guessed mario party >.>

Am i the only one that thinks that it would be amazing on the wii?

by Count Blah - 2007-01-18 16:08
» What I would really love to see is a new installation in the

Chrono series ftw!!

by dastinger - 2007-01-18 16:36
» It must be..

It must be Star Fox! I always loved it and I'd love to have it on my Wii...

by gggLITCH - 2007-01-18 17:00
» hells yeah

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

by Belmont - 2007-01-18 17:12
» Castlevania!

Castlevania for Wii w/ Julius or Alucard!

by smith - 2007-01-18 17:14
» 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.

by Ryan - 2007-01-18 20:47
» GTA

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 ? - 2007-01-18 20:49
» Already announced

That's because Mario Party 8 is coming out very soon. It was announced a few months back.

by The Wii-Tard - 2007-01-19 03:43
» It cant be any of these

Read My short description first OK now this is because nintendo arnt stupid enough to let us think about it so it will be an old time fav that every1 forgot. E.G. (i dont have 1 because they dont want us 2 nooooo) soz but i no i am RIGHT and diont call me a nOOb unless u actually KNOW what it MEANS



PLZ read my name



THE WII ROCKS (come on NEWS CHANNEL)



Guildwars name "The wiitard"

by Tom - 2007-01-19 04:50
» A racing game

I hope it's Mario kart or F-Zero...those are some good racing games.

by toptom007 - 2007-01-19 07:00
» i recon

Bring back RC Pro-am!!!!

by Mario - 2007-01-19 08:36
» Mario Kart Wii

It has already been confirmed that the new game is Mario Kart Wii.

by Mike - 2007-01-19 09:26
» Possibilities

1) Donkey Kong

2) Earthbound 2

3) Metroid Dread

4) Pikmin



It can't be Banjo-Kazooie, Rare is already making one for 360.

by Dontay - 2007-01-19 10:21
» NI-G-G-A PLEASE

ITS THE THRID ISNTALLMENT OF THE SMASHBROS FRANCHISE SO IT IS THE THIRD ONE, I SAID 3 CAUSE I DIDNT WANNA TYPE BRAWL, GeT IT RIGHT!!

by mushroomer - 2007-01-19 10:29
» 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.

by brinztar - 2007-01-19 11:08
» hey mr right

im with Dontai. its like you r saying its not cod3, its call of duty 3. people know already. and brawl is the 3rd in the series.

by cdogg - 2007-01-19 11:45
» Hmm

New Secret of Mana would be sick.

by se7en - 2007-01-19 18:04
» megaman

I'll go with megaman, not battle network style though, and hopefully nothing like megaman 64.



It has been a pretty successful series as far as series go. I wouldn't even be able to count the amount of games made featuring the blue bomber

by tehman - 2007-01-20 01:05
» wheres originality?

i'v had a look at most of the games lined up for the wii.... and if they aint tennis or brain training



they're all *****ing sequals or re-releases...

so whatever it is, im sure we're sick to ***** of playing it

by Paka - 2007-01-20 02:09
» Well

Animal Crossing and DK have already been announced

by Paka - 2007-01-20 02:11
» But

They have already been announced, we know about them, why would it be a mystery if we knew about them???

by Paka - 2007-01-20 02:13
» » Already announced

» Already announced

by Paka - 2007-01-20 02:17
» They already said

They are probably gonna make another final fantasy remake and cc, so final fantasy is definately already announced

by KTM911 - 2007-01-20 13:38
» Metroid?

Common, retro has done the last 3 metorid games (on a consol) and it has been famous (almost made a movie) but their is also others that were probably more famous, but im goin by the ones thay have in smash bros (no im not sayin that they will announce some crazyness on ssb 4) but the characters they had in the first 2. Samus was in both so i dont see why it cant be a possibility





LONG LIVE METROID!
