Spyro is neglected in terms that it has gone from one of the best platformers ever to just shovelware.
Pilotwings, which had games on the SNES and N64, was never released further on, probably due to the acquiring of the developer in 2000.
Wave Race was released on the Gameboy, N64, and GCN, but Nintendo's deal with Kawasaki quickly expired.
And of course, Mother/Earthbound. There's no company dissolve/expiration to explain this, Nintendo of America is simply too lazy to translate it all.
Have you played any franchises that you wish were still around/good?
Sonic.
It's around...but most of the new games are terrible.
Uh...I guess the James Bond games. Nightfire for GCN was hella fun, but the new games are rather bleh. Goldeneye 007 was also one of the best games I've ever played. As for The World Is Not Enough...it was fun, but not like Goldeneye 007.
What else...eh, that's all I have for now.

It sucks that the XBLA port was cancelled.
If the XBLA got Goldeneye 007, the VC would have got every other Rare game AND Goldeneye.

On the contrary, I heard that some higher-up in Nintendo is trying to make everyone forget that Earthbound ever came out in the States, not that they're too lazy to translate.

EARTHBOUND IS A LIE. IT NEVER EXISTED. THAT THING IN YOUR SNES IS NOT REAL.
F-Zero.
but that's balanced with the fact that when they do come out with console games, they're frickin amazing.

Yeah, we probably won't get a new F-Zero for a while, but I wonder how much better they could get it to look on the Wii.
Oh well I still have Pilotwings on my SNES for a long time still... man too bad there wont be another one... but I neve passed that level after you get them license... still dont know how to beat that level I always get shot down...
The Pokemon Stadium franchise. The first two were a lot of fun surprisingly, then Pokemon Colosseum flushed it straight down the crapper. It only got worse from there on, and then.....
Pokemon Battle Revolution

I don't know how you can make a sequel and put in less stuff than there was in the original.
Oh wait. Adding online was Nintendo's excuse to take everything good out of the game in some situations.

....I liked Wild World. It lasted much longer than the GCN version for me.
It was the exact opposite for me.
They took out too much stuff. Almost all of the good holidays/characters/elements/furniture was taken out.
meh. I liked it. I wonder if they'll develop one for Wii....

It's pretty much a 100% chance that it will come out this year in Japan and about a 75% it will come out this year in the USA.

And yes, they could have done it in 2005.

Donkey Kong, KotOR, The Movies, Starfox, and 2D Metroid games.
Punch Out
Sonic the Hedgehog (no real sequels to Genesis goodness)
Megaman (where is Megaman 9?, Megaman X9, Megaman Legends 3?)
Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, that thing needs a sequel, a really funny sequel
Metroid (2D please)
Kid Icarus
Super Mario Bros. (a worthy follow up to SMB3 or a level based 3D game)
Doom (I want Doom 4)
Marvel vs Capcom, I want a 3rd one....
Lol the Conker games
>_<
Banjo-Kazooie....

the reason nintendoo sold rare was because they were a useless company and weren't producing anything worthwhile, and to this day, they still haven't since they were sold.

Also worth mentioning is the fact that Rare never met their deadlines under Nintendo.
Any one remember Donkey Kong? He hasn't had an adventure game until jungle beat. Hopefully he'll have an adventure game for the wii.
Donkey kong is the most neglected of all. The last god game was DK64 Now there's just bongo games.

The core Mario series was neglected for years in between SM64 and SMG while Nintendo created a million sports spin-offs and a mediocre excuse for a platformer where you used a squirt gun to clean up graffiti.
NOA isn't "too lazy" to translate Mother 1 and 3. Mother 1 was translated, just never released. Mother 3 won't be translated because they know darn well it won't do very well here in the States, despite the sizable cult following that Earthbound has gathered. It's not enough to make them a good profit.
Also, Spyro has the right to be neglected. His games are mediocre at best.
Also also, Gradius is a neglected series here in the States. Poor little Vic Viper just doesn't get any attention.
Smash Bros. would help garner attention for Earthbound. It got me into Metal Gear.
Anyway...
Sonic needs good games.
Mega Man/X/Legends needs sequels. ZX doesn't cut it.
Donkey Kong needs new life.
Pokemon needs better console games.
Skies of Arcadia needs a sequel... bad. :(
Kirby needs a console game.
