Well, we may never know if they get a new game or not. But like Ice Climbers and R.O.B., they haven't had a new game since way back. Just a theory. I guess Sakurai wants fans to be interested in characters that hasn't made an appearance since then. Duck Hunt is one of them. Younger generation has not seen the Retro games, so maybe they can learn a thing or two about Nintendo's history.
