Which franchise surprised you that never saw a game release?

[vintagegamecrazy]

I wanted to start this for a while now, but which TV show, movie, toy line, comic etc. did you think a game would have been made after? We've seen releases of Beethoven, Wizard of Oz, to Beavis and Butthead and the retarded Mary Kate and Ashley series. The ones that surprised were Gumbi, Nickelodeon's Doug, Futurama, and heck King of the Hill (made a bazillion simpsons games for crying out loud). I'm not saying that they need to pain us with such useless ideas as the above mentioned, but if they released every other useless and retarded idea, why not these?

What are the ones that you expected to see, would they be good or bad?

Let the Conversing begin.

There's a doug game for game boy color, and a futurama Game for PS2 & xbox. Also, I beleive namco recently acquired the rights to make a gumby game.

Anyways, I'm still surprised that they haven't made a Teen titans game yet.

I stand corrected, shoulda checked the database.

No Way, I am a mild Gumby fan, but I don't see the game doing any good.

Any others.

Daredevil?

The Fantastic Four got a game, X-Men got a bunch, Spiderman got a couple dozen, The Punisher got a few.

[vintagegamecrazy]

Daredevil? Doesn't Activision have the rights to make a game for him.

[Queen Of The Felines]

Hellraiser or Nightbreed, Color Dreams be damned. Hell, ANYTHING by Clive Barker. (No, Undying doesn't count because it was an original work.)

Yeah, Daredevil came out on GBA the week the movie hit theaters...but the planned console releases (GC, PS2, AND XB) have been indefinitly postponed). Note: GBA one sold very badly below expected sales.

Dunno...but shouldn't a Daredevil game have come out years ago? All the lame superheroes had their day on the NES. They could've made some lame martial arts scroller and called it Daredevil. They could've called Ninja Gaiden "Daredevil". Sure, he's blind, but that hardly matters from a 3rd person perspective.

I remember seeing the trailer for the Daredevil movie, and as lame as it was calling out "God, finally!"

I only have this to say about the GBA release:

"God, finally!"

I will pay one million dollars and my soul for a good game based on this movie with kurt russel doing voice work.

My answer is the same as it was for the other thread about the license you are waiting for: Kill Bill (although it still could get made eventually as not every game based on a movie comes out when the movie does). I want two games: the action/adventure game with the bride, and the fighting game with the characters from the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad.

There is a futurama game for the PS2. Never played it but it exists!

[GobopopRevisited]

Those Power Ranger rip-off shows- VR Troppers and Beetleborgs (I think thats what its called)
Captain N

[Cryomancer]

They aren't really ranger rip offs so much as...let me explain real quick

PR is made from the super sentai series, been going on since the 70s, features teams of 3-6 people in colored uniforms, ect.

Beetleborgs i believe is made from a show in the Metal Hero line of shows, which is of the same genre as sentai but discernably different.

VR troopers was...either another metal hero show or some other single run mechanical hero show.

The genre is basically anything that's live-action, japanese, and full of special effects, and is called Tokusatsu. Kamen Rider, Sentai, metal heroes, and even stuff like godzilla can fall into the genre.

WOW I'M OFF TOPIC

so to stay on topic: http://www.digitpress.com/DP/cmf/lis...le=VR+Troopers some do exist

[GobopopRevisited]

Oh WOW!... and WOW to you for knowing all that

Damn straight! A Titans game would surely be humanity's second finest achievement.

There was a game planned adn then canned. I believe it may have even had some work done to it. I vaguely remeber seeing a screen shot of this game in a game mag. I could be wrong, may have just been an article.

My vote goes to a Beer Tycoon game.
