But I would like to see it expand beyond Mario and Zelda. Even within the NES universe of properties alone you've got Metroid, Kid Icarus, Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!!, Donkey Kong, Pro Wrestling, 10 Yard Fight :D , etc.

Honestly, I don't think Mario and Luigi would work well as Minimates unless they have the sculpted nose and ears. You kinda need those things for those guys, and in general, Minimates don't have noses at all. I figure you could better get away with that stuff with guys like the Punch Out!! boxers. Samus would need to have a sculpted head of course. I would much rather classic over nu character designs across the board, but I know that nostalgia gets trumped by what's new and hot to some extent.

Metroid is my big want. Nintendo doesn't like to licence their properties but if they knew about the popularity that the Minimate brand has now Nintendo mates could be made. In my opinion Nintendo mates would be good for both companies so if I were DST I'd try to get this licence.In contrast with knex toys DST and minimates have a big fan base which is growing bigger everyday. Add to the fact that there have been little to no Nintendo products (which means that every nintendo fan will buy them) and you have a sure hit. Sure the playstation line didn't do so well but it was Sony's fault. They should have opened with more well known characters like kratos and snake. Not many people know that character who had good games on the ps2 (jak). Hell, even the company who made those games (naughty dog) has forgotten about him.

I agree that the lack of interest in Playstation 'Mates was due to the character choices. I was only vaguely familiar with most of them, and the only really hot characters released (from the Drake series) were beyond boring. Boring =/= good Minimates IMO.
