I think the fates of Kid Icarus and Fire Emblem during the early 3DS era is pretty ironic. Uprising and Awakening were very close in sales. One moved on for a modest sequel, another fizzled out.

    For no reason might I add. To this day we don't know why they never went pass Uprising.

    Probably because Sakurai doesn't want to make a sequel. I think I recall him saying this in the past. Might've been in an interview with Nintendo Power.

    The only reason Uprising never had another game was because Sakurai willed it so.

    Kid Icarus could've easily continued without Sakarai. The series had been on a 20 year hiatus with only two previous games, so I doubt getting a new developer would've been an issue.

    Yeah, this wasn't like with the Mother series, which was Itoi's brainchild and thus Nintendo had to respect his decision to end the series.

    @Jonathan: Much like F-Zero and Punch Out!, I think KI will be another "relevant only in Smash" series. That's not to say that any of these series won't get another entry, but for the time being, Nintendo doesn't seem to have any plans.

    I think you forgot to put Donkey Kong in that list.

    Awakening saved FE, though. If it didn't sell well, Fates, Heroes, Shadows of Valentia, Warriors, and the Switch game probably wouldn't be a thing. (Or maybe they would. I dunno.) Not sure about Uprising. Sakurai just kind of does whatever he wants.

    @Spoop Taco: Sakurai doesn't hold any power over KI or even Smash. When Sakurai announced that he was done with KI after Uprising, Nintendo didn't make much of an effort to find someone else. Why they dropped that but kept FE is beyond me. Maybe at the time, Nintendo didn't see potential in FE either and IS begged them for the opportunity to continue with the franchise.

    There was a five year gap between Awakening and Radiant Dawn. Maybe we'll get a new one soon. I say if we don't get a new one by 2020 then Nintendo is done with the series. Or maybe we'll have to wait another 25 years for a new game. Who knows? People are going to keep asking until then, though.
