Here's an interesting story. According to the Japanese-focused gaming website
Andriasang, the Japanese paper
Nikkei featured an article about Nintendo, which mentioned plans to revive other publisher's titles for the 3DS to bring unique titles for the system. Specifically mentioned was the Sega Dreamcast virtual pet title
Seaman. The game is about learning how to take care of a seaman, basically a fish with a human face (creepy, I know), while kinda being helped by Leonard Nimoy (Spock of
Star Trek fame, for those of you who live in a cave). The game's creator, Yoot Saito, already hinted at a
Seaman release for 3DS back in 2010, so this may be more than just a rumor.
Seaman was decently popular in Japan, and it was the third best-selling game on the Dreamcast, and it earned both a remake and a sequel on the PlayStation 2.

Nintendo has already worked on remaking 3rd Party titles for the 3DS as part of the
3D Classics series, though so far only Konami's shooters
Xevious and
Twinbee made the cut. While
Seaman is definitely too weird to see another US release, the prospect of Nintendo reviving 3rd Party games is great. Maybe they'll back a new
Shenmue, or maybe we'll get more
Viewtiful Joe. Honestly, I want Nintendo to make Capcom finish up
Mega Man Legends 3. I was really looking forward to that.
