it took 11 years for EarthBound fans to finally get Mother 3. now that i know a miracle like that could happen, i will never again be surprised by late sequels being announced. (and i will never lose hope for a Mother 4, though Shigesato Itoi has said it won't happen...)
also, i think i'll have to add Conker's Bad Fur Day to the top of my "Games i have to play" list. my brother, who is 11 years older than me, bought it when i was around 7 years old, and i always wondered what it was-- he only ever let me play the multi-player game on it (which was amazing). so now, realizing that i haven't played the story mode of a great game, i will pursue it!
