With the launch of the new Nintendo DSi, the developers have secured a wealth of famous games based on popular gaming characters to help promote the launch of their new system. After the initial burst has died down though, there are a number of games that the Nintendo gaming community are quite vocal about seeing once again. Here we bring you a list of games that are receiving the highest call for sequels amongst the forums;
- Although there is a forthcoming Mario Bros game involving RPG elements for the DSi, what people really want is a classic Mario game in the platforming vein. Mario is possibly the most recognisable poster boy for Nintendo, and a new game harking back to his classic adventures would be a welcome installment to the new system. Utilising the new and improved screens system would bring a fresh view to the platforming genre, and Mario is the perfect guy to bring this to life!
- Metroid is a game that gets mentioned a lot on the grapevine these days. Fans would like to see a revisit to the classic view of Metroid, rather than the updated visuals of Metroid Prime. Bringing back the side scrolling adventrue element is what is being called for, and with the increased processing power of the DSi this could really be brought to life. Side scrolling may seem like a thing of the past, but bringing the genre back to more powerful systems definitely works, as showcased by Square Enix's Odin Sphere on the PS2, amongst others.
- Kid Icarus is a game from the distant, hazy days of the NES. Basically, you played a devil slaying baby in nappies floating around bringing holy justice to the world- and if that doesn't sound awesome we don't know what does! Kid Icarus garnered a massive cult fanbase following its release, all of whom continue to call for a remake decades later. Give the people what they want!
- Inazuma Eleven, developed by famous games producers Level 5, is a unique game indeed. Merging Sports with the RPG genre, we get a fresh and ingenius game that fuses the popular elements of both styles. The only problem is that the game has not yet received a western release, and there's no word on whether it will at all. Outrageously popular in Japan, there are many gamers over here eager to try out this unique game, and we can only hope that the chance is given to us.
- Nintendogs was a massive hit on the original DS, spawning a range of imitators and almost single handedly creating a whole new genre. The game took advantage of the unique features found on the DS, allowing gamings to pet and groom their dogs using the stylus, and even shout commands to their pet using the mic. A sequel is long overdue, and could take advantage of the new features found on the DSi, such as integrating the camera functions to somehow personalise and customize your environment. A whole plethora of possibilities have opened up with this new device, and we'd like to see games take advantage of them!
