Resident Evil 5. Seems like the entire Internet just hates that one (well, not as much anymore because most of that hate transferred over to RE6).

I like it. A lot. Sure, it wasn't very scary or Resident Evil-y, but it was a damn fun action game and was an absolute blast to play with a friend. I think I probably played through the game about 5 or 6 times with three different friends, and each playthough was just as fun and exciting as the last. One of my favorite games from last gen.

Man, you guys are bumming me out :/

I know a new Metroid is likely on the way soon (at least I hope), so I'm not as worried about that one. But Star Fox and F-Zero I think could both make a HUGE comeback on Wii U or 3DS, especially when you consider just how much online gaming has come along since the last releases in those franchises.

Hey all! Thought I'd get an interesting discussion fired up. I want to know what everyone thinks about the possibility of some new games in Nintendo franchises that have been fairly quiet lately. The three specific franchises I'm referring to are Metroid, Star Fox, and F-Zero. Let's take a look at just how long these guys have been missing:

- Metroid. Dormant for 4 years. Last release: Metroid: Other M (2010)

- Star Fox: Dormant for 8 years (not counting the Star Fox 64 3D remaster). Last release: Star Fox Command (2006)

- F-Zero: Dormant for 10 years. Last release: F-Zero GP Legend (2004)

As you can see, these series have been out of the picture for quite some time. I love Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon as much as any Nintendo fan, but I really miss these three series. Star Fox and F-Zero in particular have been missing for a long, long time. Both series completely missed out on the Wii generation, and so far all three haven't even so much as been hinted at for Wii U (other than appearances by F-Zero and Metroid in NintendoLand).

Is it finally time to bring these great franchises back? I think it is. The Wii U provides so many possibilities for these games and seeing them in glorious HD would kick so much ass.

What do you guys think?

These are the Top 5 games I can recommend to you:

5. Star Fox 64 3D
4. Mario Kart 7
3. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
2. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
1. Fire Emblem: Awakening

Uhm, I'm confused. Since when has the Vita been beating the 3DS? This is news to me.

I'm 23 and I play my 3DS all the time. There are great games for all ages on it.

Metroid, Star Fox, F-Zero, Metroid, Star Fox, F-Zero, Metroid, Star Fox, F-Zero, Metroid, Star Fox, F-Zero, Metroid, Star Fox, and F-Zero.

Did I mention Metroid, Star Fox, and F-Zero?

Honestly surprised by the Lucario reveal. I really didn't think he'd make it back for this one. Glad he's back though, but there's one problem: this likely means Mewtwo isn't returning again :(

I hate all this talk lately about Nintendo possibly abandoning consoles. It's not going to happen. The 3DS is thriving, and the Wii U, though struggling a bit, just needs some more killer games and maybe some better marketing and it will be fine.

Super Smash Bros. is a series that is best enjoyed with friends and family. I still play all three Smash Bros. games all the time with my friends and family because they are just so dang fun to play. They can still be enjoyable as single player games, not only for the single player content but also the fact that you can set computer players to play against. They are some of the most enjoyable games ever.
