We're a little more than a month off from the launch of the next Nintendo console. Given the last few years of great games but tepid sales with the Wii U, part of me thinks the success of this little device will make or break Nintendo as we know it. Many big 3rd party developers are pulling a bullshit wait-and-see approach, but in their absence, I think Nintendo is doing everything it can to make this a success, outside of selling it for $199. In its first year, the Switch will have Zelda, Mario, Mario Kart, Splatoon, Xenoblade; all of which are franchises with passionate followings. Beyond 2017, who the hell knows what's in store for us.
Of course, every time Nintendo launches a new device, I can't help but think about the classic games I'd like to see make a grand return. On the 3DS, we finally got a new Kid Icarus and, while the control set-up was debatable, I loved Pit's triumphant return. On the Wii, we saw the return of the excellent Punch Out!! franchise.
Will we see another beloved series return on the Switch? Who the hell knows, but I wanted to know what the Destructoid staff thought, so I asked them to name a classic game they'd love to play a new entry in with the two stipulations: the franchise can't have had a new entry in the last 10 years and it had to be exclusive to Nintendo systems.
