I choose from the most mentioned series and made sure there was at least a 5 year gap since the last entry, and no mention of a future release for a game in that series.

Kid Icarus deserves another game. Uprising was an excellent revival.

Punch out easily. Seems like it would be a cheaper and faster type game to develop too. My son is obsessed with the series as well.

Punch-Out and Advance Wars would be great on Switch. I would be happy with a Kid Icarus Uprising remaster for Switch too, that game would be so much better on it.

No reason for Earthbound to come back, unless it's a remaster.

Mother just needs an official localization of Mother 3 and that's it. The story is done, let that franchise rest in piece.

Even though I haven't played any of the Punch-Out games, I'd be interested to see how a modern rendition would look like both visually (art direction) and gameplay-wise.

I feel like a new kid icarus would do well for itself considering the 3ds one did pretty great
the rest would really have to prove themselves. I don't really want a new mother/earthbound.

I'd like to see Ice Climbers reimagined though like they did with Kid Icarus Uprising. Would be interesting to see how they could transform the gameplay into something more palatable for the modern day

Loved Kid Icarus: Uprising, so voted for KI. Another one from that list I would've voted is EarthBound, but the creator considers the story done, so I don't think it's ever happening, maybe we'll get a Mother 3 localization eventually but even that seems to be not happening anytime soon.

No, wait.. I just realized something here... we finally have the technology to have F-Zero online with 30 players on a single race! Do it Nintendo!

Earthbound doesn't need to come back as it had an amazing conclusion, same to Punch Out although I would definitely be more open to the idea if someone took Little Mac's place.

But to answer the question, Kid Icarus because Uprising was incredible and I need more of that. But also Advance Wars since I would love to see that series get the Fire Emblem treatment in terms of getting a lot of customization options.

Hi I'm the only one to vote Excite because I want Monster to be freed from their Nascar prison to finally make the true Excite Truck 2. Thank you. :P

F-Zero is probably my pick, though I'd love to see a new Advance Wars game too.

I'm okay with the Mother series never getting another game. I think it ended perfectly with 3. I just want to see 3 localized.

Definitely Earthbound.
Itoi is amazing, but there are many "Itois" in the world who could handle the franchise.

Earthbound all day. I'd be happy with just a localization of Mother 3, as I still haven't played it, but I just really think the series has far too much character and potential to be left to languish the way it has been.

All of the choices in the poll but if I had to choose, it would be F-Zero. Loved Maximum Velocity and GP Legend. Was interested in Climax but never played it. Heard GX was really good.

F-Zero needs to come back at least one more time.

I'm the one guy that voted for Wii Sports. I don't give a single shit about any of those other franchises. I would absolutely lose it if we got a Switch Sports. Wii Sports was the game that got me in to Nintendo.

Oh so you think me having to wait till I'm too old and feeble To play a new f zero means you win this game Nintendo? Think again. I can do this till I'm Old, mad and dying in a hospital. I'll wait till you stop making video games. Just giving me my game damnit.

Voted F-Zero but also I would like for Nintendo to finally release Mother 3 (in some form) in the west.

Definitely Kid Icarus, there's an incredible amount of untapped potential there.

I love Earthbound but the series is concluded, and Toby Fox has taken up Shigesato Itoi's mantle quite successfully.
