Correct me if i'm wrong, but i think these are the most major series people want revived.

2D Donkey Kong games: Everyone loved Donkey Kong country, and everyone would love it even more if it replaced the bongo series we are stuck with now.

Kid Iscarus: With it's release date falling on the same day as Super Metroid, Kid Iscarus was cast in a giant shadow, and therefore did not manage spectacular sales (As far as i know). Yet fans around the world discovered this masterpiece and loved it to death, allowing Nintendo to make a sequel. But despite our constant begging, they wouldn't make a third, until perhaps now. With his inclusion in Brawl, maybe our Friend pit is preparing for another epic adventure!

Earthbound: I don't think this one needs an explanation as to what it is. Now, on to the reason it might be resurrected. Why would there be two earthbound reps in Brawl? All of the other dead series have only one. Heck, even some of the series that are still going strong only had one!

Now it's time for YOU to make your vote and then post and explain it. Begin!

I wouldn't mind a Wii version of Mike Tyson's Punch Out. I know they wouldn't put Tyson in it, but maybe they could bring Little Mac back as an old man like Rocky did in the last Rocky!

Earthbound has some serious potential for a major revival. They'd just need to be sure and make it distinguishable from every other turn-based RPG out there.

Just imagine! PSI powers getting charged up by rubbing your temples with the Wiimote and Nunchuk! Haha! Just kidding!

All great choices. Even though I love the old Kid Icarus game, I chose Earthbound/Mother because I think we're in need of a good, high-quality RPG. Still, all would be great choices.

it's icarus, not iscarus
and it was not released the same day as super metroid, since super metroid was released very late on the snes, kid icarus was a nes game
anyway I said kid icarus, I don't wanna see old school onkey kong as that would refer to the barrel jumping game that you played as pipeman, later known as mario
anyway if donkey kong country then no, nintendo shouldn't tamper with ex-second party stuff, they may do it well but it will still be differant and that doesn't bode well for being the same franchise

My vote went to Kid Icarus.
I've always felt they had started something great here, but never bothered to grow the franchise for some unknown reason.

If by old school DK you include DK Country, then I choose DK. If not, then Kid Icarus.

I want a brand new Earthbound more than any other game right now. A new DKC would be sweet, but the idea of shooting bottle rockets at New Age Retro Hippies and the Unassuming Local Guy is just too great to pass up!

Go play the DK games on DS. And Earthbound was not Japan only. I'm holding my US SNES cartridge right now.

I like Kid Icarus well enough and I'd LOVE to see a Wii Earthbound, but my allegiances out of these three are tied to DKC.

Earthbound FTW.

Donkey as had its chances....and failed....hard

Kid Icuaras deserves his shot at a remake but not before Ness.

Ness's Story and Pit's story are one in the same

Both No name chars from forgotten games that know one started talking about untill the chars showed up in smash and now every1 is suddenly a fan

Since Ness came back 1st waaaay back when on the N64 its only fair he gets 1st DIBBS on a remake
