An interesting claim has circulated the web today that Nintendo will be showing off modern take on a classic franchise this week.

Gamekyo has taken a sidestep from the impending news of a new DS model and announced that Nintendo will be revealing a new game for Wii, but not any old or casual game malarkey – instead an old franchise that everyone is supposedly waiting for.

Kid Icarus? Pilotwings? Punch Out?


I am going with PunchOut Wiimyself, I expect it will have Wii Balance Board support when they do show it. Anyway, what do you guys think it will be?

PilotWings would be rad as hell!

Are you sure it's Nintendo bringing something back? That's not like them.

"Are you sure it's Nintendo bringing something back? That's not like them."

Finally doing that Ice Climbers game....

Nintendogs is three years old, right? That's probably classic to them now.

StarFox?

Just a rumor. Not really gonna pay much attention to this, much like the new DS rumor.

But if this was true, I wouldn't mind a new Pilotwings game. That game would be great for both the core and expanded audiences. Simple looking, yet very indepth.

I absolutely gave up faith in Nintendo a year or so ago :( Maybe they'll pull something spectacular out, but I doubt it.

I'm  thinking its Punch Out or Kid Icarus.

"StarFox?"

Could it be something more concrete about Pikmin? Okay, I know they said they are doing it, but that's pretty vague.

Here's to hoping for this to be true. I don't even give a flying eff what it is, I just want to see something.

"StarFox?"

Oh god, how I hope for a new StarFox game. I have an awesome idea for how they could do it. It could be so good...."

All i want is a new Wave Race, if it's not that then i dont care.

Kid Icarus.... please be Kid Icarus....

Maybe they'll go totally left field with this and revive Mach Rider.

Kid Icarus, Punch Out, or F-Zero please.

seconded, loved that game as a kid, the Nintendo 64 game that is."

There is this awesome looking homebrew game on the way  for PC.

It's probably going to be Kid Icarus, Matt from IGN already confirmed that Factor-5 is working on it.

POKEMANS

Lol...Factor 5 are hacks...why cant nintendo develop it? Do we really need it to be as bad as Lair? Well even though it probably is Kid Icarus I would love a new StarFox game"

Hopefully StarFox, Kid Icarus or (if there is a god) Earthbound.

My money's on Kid Icarus, seeing as they've already announced it.

*crosses fingers for Balloon Fight Wii*

I think Pokemon Snap and Ice Climbers would be perfect for the Wii Ware service!

As for the classic franchise I would bet it will be Pilotwings, Kid Icarus or Punch-out but I prefer to think that Nintendo won't show anything new at all on their upcoming conference.

I think people are setting themselves up for disapointment. I just focus on expecting TGS rather than any Nintendo conference. Nintendo claimed they won't be showing any new core games until after early 2009 and I have no reason to think they'll change mind (though I'd be pleasantly surprised if they do).I look forward to seeing the many promising third party games I do know of (and any potential surprises) like Monster Hunter 3 rather than listen to rumours and get hyped over what I think will be of little value to gamers. Just like people got hyped for the Kirby event expecting a Wii Kirby title. Didn't happen.

"Well thay have not officially announced it but Miyamoto let it slip when he was asked something about the game. He said, " I am not working on that game so.."  "

Duck Hunt 2 would also be a very good sequel to release on WiiWare! I would stay at home and skip work just to buy it as soon as possible!
