Poll: New games in old franchises
The DS is seeing an unparalleled boom in surprise sequels to venerable franchises. That leaves retrogamers and other sensible people in a dangerous financial situation. With many of these games currently yet to be confirmed for US release, we face the possibility of expensive imports, or letting them pass us by.Even if everything on this list comes out stateside, picking them all will make for a costly exercise and a terrible poll. So we're asking you to choose: given the opportunity to pick up only one new DS game based on an 8-bit series, which would you choose?

And I thought the GBA was a SNES retro haven.

Making me choose between Contra and Arkanoid isn't fair! Alas, I chose Arkanoid, perhaps out of excitement, perhaps out of pity. I still think both are going to be great.
If the new Mortal Kombat on the DS is as good as it looks, though, that's really going to rival both of those.

The DS is the new NES.

Dodgeball > the other four combined

This was definitely a tough choice. I stared at the screen for like five minutes and finally picked Dodgeball, but I think my heart secretly belongs to Contra.

No doubt Contra will win this poll. And, the best thing about the DS IMO is the revival/reincarnacion/continuation of classic NES games/series.
