    I'd probably take one of these franchises if I could:

    Sonic - So I could destroy Sonic team and it's egotistical ideas, finish Sonic X-treme, give a sequel to Knuckles Chaotix, and retcon everything after Sonic Adventure, including all characters.

    Phoenix Wright - So I could retcon Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney due to it's shitty storyline, and keep Phoenix as the main character of the series along with the rest of the cast.

    Eternal Champions - So I can finally get Eternal Champions: The Final Chapter released.

    Yes, Snow Bros. 2 (arcade only) was a quite disappointing sequel. Since the game was still being developed when Toaplan went bankrupt, I would wager a guess that the team patched together what they had and kicked it out the door as fast as they could. I could well be wrong, but it seems to me that after making such a phenomenal first game, and an even better Mega Drive port of it, the company wouldn't provide a shoddy sequel unless they had no other choice.

    THIS.

    However, my personal choice would be Phantasy Star. Lots of people are unhappy with Sega's treatment of its North American customers with Phantasy Star Universe; there was also the removal of options from Phantasy Star Portable outside Japan. Also, the Phantasy Star Collection we DID get was missing Phantasy Star IV. I would LOVE to see Phantasy Star IV given the Final Fantasy Advance treatment, and made portable with an improved translation.


    I know Shining Force has already been said, but a Shining Force III Perfect Collection on the Wii would make at least a few hundred thousand people very, very happy. It could happen - after all, it only took 13 years for a Sakura Wars game to come over here.

    Phantasy Star - I want new non online games with that franchise like Phantasy Star 5. Also Bring the two Phantasy Star remakes on the Ps 2 to North America along with having a remake of Phantasy Star 4.

    Shining Force - That series needs to back to it's roots and bring all the parts of Shining Force 3 to North America.

    Valis - It has been years since a game has been release from that franchise. I think the one release when I was in Middle school! A series like that would be good on the Wii or DS.

    Sonic - get a rid Shadow, and some of other characters of that franchise and make that franchise 2d closing to its roots along with fire the Sonic team. Sonic team didn't make a lot of good games since the Sega Saturn days.

    Streets of Rage - series needs to be on the Psp or the Ds.

    Eternal Champions- Have the long rumored 3d game release on one of the 3 game consoles.

    Wonderboy - Release Monster World IV in the states, and do games for that series for the Nintendo Ds.

    Neutopia - This Zelda clone series needs a third game and the Wii would be a good system fit.

    Fantasy Zone - Have the series on the Ds or the Psp.

    Halo - I'd take it all up, throw everything out and turn it into a cooking/gardening/pet/babysitting/cafe/urban planning sim with anime angel girls as the protagonist characters. I'd keep the sales and profit up and drop investment and developement time by a huge amount. Maybe throw in some male on male fetish porn minigames for the teabaggin' fans.

    WAIT!!!

    after careful evaluation, i've come to the conclusion that i no longer want the metal gear franchise, imo, no one other than hideo kojima should ever be allowed to touch that holiest of holies...no, my answer is much more sublime




    I WANT SHENMUE....Muthafucka!


    i vowed long ago to do everything within my power to make sure shenmue 3 saw the light of day...place in your faith in my brothers...dreams can come true!!!

    Sonic, so it can get the reboot that's been overdue since about 2003 if not earlier. Said it before, will keep saying it until I'm blue in the face- 'Street Fighter IV'-ising the first two games=profit beyond measure.

    Shining Force: Would take it out of Sega's hands and promptly gift it to Camelot under the promise of SFIII being rereleased and the creation of SF IV.

    Sonic: Retcon everything post Sonic Adventure 2 and commence work on Adventure 3. It would see the return of Nack, Shadow would stay dead and Amy and Cream, of course, would have a playable role!

    NiGHTS: Give it to Nintendo to see what they could make of it.

    Good answer.

    I would also do Shenmue. It is much deserved. Maybe a Japan only, subtitle release or something. I am not dumb, I know this would only sell to fanboys over in the states, but if I had the IP, I could play it regardless.

    Sonic. If I had my way with Sonic, badass shit could happen. I always thought it would be badass if Sonic did a 180 in a Darth Vader sort of way where he became all super evil (Shadow does not count as this). Sonic would do more than just stop Robotinik, he would kill him, and with him finding out how much power the chaos emeralds have, he gets a power trip, and we get to play through his power trip. Sonic as a bad guy would be awesome. Of course, there would be some kind of menace that Sonic would have to overcome, and with having to fight that guy, he would be turned back to good.

    Nights. Make an Official Nights 2 that does not suck.

    Zelda. I had an idea that I thought would be cool. For a few of the Zelda games, some random kid in a random forest is chosen to be link. What if that kid was a kid from the Bronx, and this kid had to do all of the Zelda shit, but in a setting closer to what we know. That would be badass

    Interesting. If they could also work in hybrid driving and recycling simulations, I'd be sold.

    Sonic. Make it simple sonic levels with freedom to explore but concentration on the action and speed. Basically a game like the sonic levels in SA2.

    Oooooo, in game advertising! I'm taking this idea to Toyota and Honda ASAP!

    Yes, implementing a refuse sorting minigame set would be easy. And while the games are being played I'll have 'The Story of Stuff' playing in a window to the side, just to drive the point home.

    Carbon credit trading sim!!! Oh crap TDI... You're a muse!

    Remember folks, you don't have to believe in it to sell it.

    I hope Nintendo continues to keep Zelda out of the hands of the likes of you.

    I'd like to own any that made me money, so all of them. Actually Call of Duty because it's the best selling multiplatform game series out there.
