[quote name='CapAmerica']You forgot the 2 GBA titles (3 if you count the Classic series)
Metroid has really come back from the dead, Hopefully Punch Out!, Kid Icarus and Ice Climbers will come back too next gen.
I don't know why Earthbound got the shaft so much, Its taking forever for Earthbound 3 to come out for the GBA and Earthbound 64 was canned. I'm surprized they did just push Earthbound 64 to the GameCube. =/[/quote]
I didn't forget. They just weren't blockbuster, and the GBA gets a lot of games that Nintendo doesn't give a hoot about (I'm not saying they weren't good, I'm just saying how it is).
Punch-Out is at least being recognized by Nintendo (Animal Crossing and the upcoming Fight Night or whatever), so maybe we will see a sequel soon.
And yeah, they just ported AC to the GCN, but I suppose that they prize the value of EB more than just port worthy... who knows? Ac needed to get established, I think it is going to play a big part in upcoming DS and Revolution news... And I think that they wanted an established franchise for that.
