Odd...
OB1, you know, Star Fox 64 is actually pretty much a massive reimagining of the original Star Fox. They share the exact same story, only 64 expanded on it. That in mind, one could easily call the next shooter style Star Fox "Star Fox 2". Not saying they SHOULD, and likely they won't. The chances of it actually being called that are roughly the chances of Wind Waker 2 actually being CALLED Wind Waker 2, well a little greater, but you get my meaning.
Paper Mario 2... that's just odd.... First off, Paper Mario was Mario Story in Japan. Second off, that was just a sequel to Super Mario RPG anyway (now a series). As far as I can figure, this is yet another Mario RPG, the 4th one, done in the same graphical style as Paper Mario. Honestly I was hoping for a new one, but it's all good. The gameplay is similar enough between the 3 RPG games that I doubt it's a hint at sharing the same gameplay (they all shared the same core gameplay, taking it in some different directions, Mario & Luigi the most different amongst them). Perhaps that's just IGN's name for the title, since it wouldn't make sense for Nintendo Japan to call it that regardless. For all we know, it might even have the same graphical style as Paper Mario but not be an RPG at all.
Seems Giftpia will be Japan exclusive like the first GBA Fire Emblem, which sucks...
Times like this I really wish I knew Japanese... I would THEN wish that more than my PC and GB systems lacked regional lockouts...
Anyway, I'm looking forward to a lot on that list. It would be easier to say what I'm not looking forward to, but I won't because people will yell at me :D. Aside from uncertain names or details about a lot of those games, I'll add that wow I wish I had more money. Well, wishing won't make it so, not until I finally obtain THE TRIFORCE! So, off to work. First off, study alternate realities, and find out if all imagined worlds take form in alternate worlds like in that game where I had to rescue the villians. Second, go to sacred realm.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
