1. Metroid
Poor Samus Aran. She hasn't had an outing since 2010 with Metroid: Other M, and even that was a little underwhelming. But I really think that it needs to come back, hardcore. I mean Retro Studios is free again, now that they've finished Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, so... don't make another Donkey Kong, make another Metroid. Because they do that REALLY well. Honestly, I wouldn't even mind an HD treatment for Metroid Prime. Just give me Metroid on the Wii U and I'll be a happy camper.
2. Paper Mario
Paper Mario had a new game for the 3DS in 2012, but he hasn't had a proper outing since 2004. Paper Mario has been around since the Nintendo 64, and then he has had games on every console since (and the 3DS), so it only seems natural we'll see him sometime. But I don't want to see another overused gimmick, like in Sticker Star. I want an honest-to-goodness Paper Mario game. If you want to know what that means, play Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door. It is a masterpiece. Actually, it is the greatest game I have ever played. And, just like Metroid, I would even be willing to take a Thousand Year Door HD remake. Or, y'know, just put GameCube games in the Wii U Virtual Console...
3. Kid Icarus
Kid Icarus also had a 3DS game in 2012, and it was awesome. To this day, it holds up as one of the greatest titles in the 3DS game library. So, this one isn;t about making another good one, it's about making another one in general. The Wii U could solve Kid Icarus Uprising's worst problems; unnatural controls to name the primary contender. And Pit getting the HD treatment would be glorious.
I'm sure Nintendo will thrill and excite at this year's E3, and I really like the line-up they have so far, but if any of these titles make it, I will be ecstatic. E3 is June 10-12, and you should check out Nintendo's website too: www.e3.nintendo.com
Also, I am THIS CLOSE to getting videos to this blog. So stay tuned. See you later, duckling enthusiasts.
