I'm copy-pasting this from my thread at Smashboards.
Maybe, MAYBE, Startropics is being revived in the shadows.
What you read next might be old news, or might be tibbids of things I've researched.
Anyway... here goes.
------
This is the ultimate form of straw-graspery, but I couldn't sleep last night... So in an attempt to dig out hints of the whereabouts of StarTropics in today's Nintendo agenda, I stumbled upon a dim ray of hope for this series...
Anyway, I present to you...
The clues.
Clue #1
-Kensuke Tanabe is apparently tasked with recreating games made by Genyo Takeda.
-Genyo Takeda was Nintendo's very first Video Game Designer. (He's now focused on hardware only)
==============
PICS NOT WORKING
==============
Genyo Takeda's works:
EVR RACING (a horse racer was just developed by Game Freaks)
SPACE FIREBIRD
SHERIFF
PUNCH OUT!! (Successfully revived)
STARTROPICS
PILOTWINGS 64 (Revived, though not quite as successful)
-You can see here that Punch Out! and Pilotwings were brought back by the same man...
Kensuke Tanabe, who I cite again...
Iwata
You were responsible for the mission of resurrecting games made by Genyo Takeda, Nintendo's first game designer...
That's TWO out of FIVE plausible games made by Genyo Takeda to be brought back by Kensuke Tanabe.
-Punch Out (2009)
-Pilotwings Resort (2011)
Which means... that the next game produced by Kensuke Watanabe MIGHT be around the corner if there's a 2-year gap between each of his projects.
The question is... will it be:
-Sheriff?
-Space Firebird?
-StarTropics?
Maybe Nintendo has something planned for StarTropics. And if Little Mac and Punch Out have seen the light of day once again, it's possible that Iwata might be more aware of StarTropics, especialluy if HE is now in charge of Nintendo of America.
And that concludes my rambling and series of observations from a 2-hour-long worth of free time.

And that's all... Thoughts?
