Do you think it's possible? I mean, it would have to be done by Tim Schafer, and he would would need permission from Lucas Arts, which is in the realm of possibility.

Possible? Of course. With Tim Schafer on the job, it could even be good.

Likely? No. I think not.

Possible: Yes.

Would it be good: That would be up to debate. Some series are best left before they stagnate and people get tired of them. (I'm looking at you, new Star Wars CG film.)

Possible: yes and hope so, good: it better be.

I'd love to have another monkey Island game, there need to be more game like that out. Fun, and challenging.

Amnestic:

I agree, there are more than enough series out there that have long run their course. However I think it's been long enough since the last one so that it can be new and original, giving a modern perspective on an old classic. The Monkey Island games are great, however not many modern casual gamers can recognize it, even though it's wackiness would appeal to both crowds.

Lets not forget Ron Gilbert's hand in the game either. Monkey Island 5 would probably do well on the Wii.

Ditch the 3-D interface, take a cue from Zak & Wiki incorporating lots of Wii-mote gestures, and definitely add the bonus of Monkey Island 1 & 2 onto the disc.

Wait, they should just port all those games to the Wii anyways.

There's a fantastic idea.

Don't get me wrong, I would absolutely love a new, good Monkey Island game which continued the series in a way which did it nothing but justice, but as always with sequels, you have to be wary of them. I'd prefer not to have a sequel than to have one which ruined the experience and memories of the previous ones. It'd be the proverbial black mark on the series which may be remembered more prominently in gamers', especially new gamers', minds than the gems of the previous installment.

I'm all for this.

I'd love to see most of the LucasArts adventure games on the DS, where the low resolution of their graphics is less of an issue (They actually look pretty good on my mobile)

Alas, LucasArts have said they aren't going to do that.
