Liveblog thread for 3DS new Nintendo IP announcement (Code Name STEAM)

I think a revival of past Nintendo franchises ala Fire Emblem: Awakening and Kid Icarus: Uprising is a solid guess.

- Metroid
- Advance Wars
- Golden Sun
 
?

Fire Emblem was never dead, neither is Metroid right now. Not even close to the dead that AW and GS are.

Fire Emblem : Awakening was meant to be the last game in the series if it was not successful; it was revived in order to fit a broader appeal.

Metroid is on life support. It needs to be revived just like Fire Emblem was.
 
You want a PS2 port?

WHAT IF IT'S SEAMAN 3DS?! Remember the Nintendo trademarks that were like Seaman?

IS IT TIME?!
 
Like I mentioned earlier in the thread, I do think Advance Wars is conspicuously one of the highest profile IPs Nintendo has that isn't on 3DS, and so at first it seems like a good candidate. What I think it has against it is that the series has been in a SHARP downward trajectory in Japan culminating by the second DS game not even being released on DS (they offered it as a Club Nintendo reward DSiWare title years later after the 3DS launched). Personally I feel that like Fire Emblem, Nintendo is only likely to pursue Famicom Wars if it can be a globally popular title. Of course my skepticism here could easily be refuted: This is all the more reason to reboot or relaunch the series with a bold new direction. So all in all I think as far as blind guesses go, this isn't a terrible one.
The Retronauts guys talked about this, and Kohler and Parish pretty much concluded that the series is dead. The sales were dreadfully low for the last two rounds.
 
So if this is not being streamed when are we getting the news? Once the roundtable is finished? Sorry if this has been discussed, I have onky read a few pages
