Popular Series gets a Sequel for Revolution. Guess what it is...
 

....because I don't know myself.

-1up.com

I'd like to read any guesses you've got though. I'd say Starfox, but then that would make it a popular SNES/N64/GC franchise.

That would be my guess... Star Fox wasn't as huge on GC as it was on SNES and N64. I can see the Rev controller being dreamlike for Star Fox. It would be sweet if it had 2 modes of use... Hold it vertically for a flight-stick, and then go into first person view and switch it up to aim with the stick and shoot.

Badass.

It'll be Donkey Kong because as far as faggots like EGM are concerned Jungle Beat doesn't exist.

So basically its just a ploy to get people to buy the magazine to say "Hey guess what, you knew it already, but we've got DK!"

Donkey Konga is the true sequel to the DKC series.

I am hoping for a new Pilotwings, that would be pretty sweet..

Pretty much.

it could be a third party game but buggered if I can think of a popular one.

Hey wait a Yoshi Platformer! Chucking eggs with revmote!

Heck, I'd love a new Yoshi's Island.

The thing about DK is that Donkey Konga would techincally be a new series, and not a sequel to Donkey Kong Country. With that in mind, I would also love a true sequel to DKC, and none of that bongo shit.

(wonders when this Revolution-oriented thread will get closed)

Well, while I'd love a new Star Fox, I have to agree that it seems unlikely since it's not JUST an SNES/N64 series. So all we have to do is think of games that were on those systems but not on NES or Gamecube.

So instead, I'm going to suggest a slightly lesser known series: Pilot Wings. I mean really, can you think of any game that would showcase the controller better than a game like that? The "pointing" capability of the controller would work out pretty well in a game like that, not to mention I'm sure there's some way they could work the positional detection into it as well.

Funny enough, I never actually tried either of the two PilotWings. And I've always wanted to try them, but kept putting them off for something like...well...Zelda. Perhaps third time's the charm, and I'll finally give it a shot with Revolution.

Of course Donkey Konga is a new series. How can it be a sequel to DKC? It's a music game. Also Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat is probably the best Donkey Kong game out there, it's too good to be a sequel to DKC.

Totally off topic
 

I just have to mention that when I read this thread title, at first I thought it said "Popular Series gets punched in the face." It's really late.

Pilotwings immediately comes to mind. That, along with Blast Corps were in serious need of a GC remake or sequal. Alas.. ;_;

Please let it be a Killer Instinct sequel. Oh wait, controller, yeah.

A sequel to Uniracers would be nice. Of course that's probably the ONE SNES game which I truly still enjoy yet it'll never get the credit it deserves. Hmm, Yoshi's Island should get a sequel as well, since the art and style in the first was so original.

They didn't say "terrible", they said "popular".

I wouldn't exactly call Pilotwings a popular series, but it does seem to be a bit of a Nintendo tradition to launch their consoles with a Pilotwings game. And as always, it'll likely be a big tech demo so you can play with the wand. I'd expect to see an obnoxious amount of footage showcasing how you move the plane around with the Rev controller in the months leading up to the release.

Elixir, I'm pretty sure Killer Instinct was a Rare franchise anyway.

But yeah I'd be happy with a new Pilotwings or a new Yoshi platformer.

Eh, I'll let you guys play in this thread as long as it doesn't get out of hand.

I'll go in with Qwarky and pray it be Blast Corps. Blast Corps is in dire need of a sequel.

Another Rare franchise. I can't remember if Nintendo let Rare have Killer Instinct and Blast Corps when they sold them to Microsoft but my thoughts are they did and in that case we probably won't be seeing a sequel to either of them in a looooong time.

It's probably going to be a DK game. It hasn't had any true sequels on the GC - just music games.

Just because it uses drums doesn't mean that Jungle Beat was a music game. It was a straight up platformer, and a damn awesome one at that.

My bets on Pilotwings or maybe Yoshi's Story.

With rare out of the picture, I don't know who they could be talking about other than yet another Mario/Yoshi game. I think we've had enough Megamans.

My vote, and hope, goes towards a new Yoshi platformer. I loved Yoshi's Island, and really regret not buying it that day when i saw it in the store for $30. Yoshi's Story was ok, nothing special, but enjoyable none the less. I've always sort of been hoping that GC would bring that franchise back to the glory days of Island, and perhaps Revolution will take up that torch.

Kirby wasn't (really) on the GC; so that's, like, possible too.

I say Pilotwings since that game came out for the N64 and SNES and was marginally popular (at least in Japan) and didn't have a GCN incarnation.

I can't think of any game other then LoZ but LoZ is going to be released... so I don't know.
