Sleeping Franchises ..

[Arkaign]

If a mod wants to kill me or delete the thread or both, I'd understand lol .. But anyways ..

With so many companies digging into the past for potential sales gold, what do you think is most likely to be revived for the near future? What would *you* like to see come back?

Some possibilities :

Punch Out
Rescue on Fractalus
Populous
Alex Kidd

I was thinking about this the other day - Jet Moto

[Ackman]

Road Rash gotsta be better than NFSU or THUG type games

Oh yeah, I remember playing those on Genesis .. good times!!

We need an update of Duke Nukem. I know... it'll never happen, but I can wish.

Hahaha, yeah, Duke Nukem Forever .. jeez it's been a billion years since that was announced.

[SuperPsycho]

I'd be interested in a new Bubsy Bobcat game.

"Bubsy Bubsy Bubsy Bobcat!"

[Icarus Moonsight]

My wish list...

Kid Ikarus
Wonderboy
and lots and lots of Shmups

**sigh** I know it will most likely never happen but, I can daydream a little can I not?

[Arkaign]

Ooo a new Splatterhouse might be fun

[Sothy]

star control.....

[Austin]

Ooo a new Splatterhouse might be fun

I'd love to see a new, totally over-the-top splatterhouse game.

[GrandAmChandler]

Someone bought the rights to Wizards and Warriors some months back. Come on guys. And how about Bubble Bobble?? Wouldn't hurt. I promise.

I'm kinda surprised Namco didn't continue on with the Pole Position series beyond Pole Position II and TX-1. I guess once they hit paydirt with Ridge Racer, they saw no need to resurrect the series.

[Canadian Psycho]

In the 16 bit era (or even on the PS1), I would have LOVED to see 2D sequels to Bionic Commando and Ninja Gaiden. (Well, Ninja Gaiden has been revived alright but it's still dead to me.)

Punch-Out!! makes a lot of sense and would be great. I am amazed Nintendo didn't already make a sequel on the GameCube though.

[Whiskers the Wonder Cat]

Legend of Legaia

Agreed, but it would need to be 2D to really kick ass. It would be nice to see the original appear in a museum title too, but that'll never happen.

A 3D version would be alright, especially if it had blood effects like NanoBreaker!

[Vectorman0]

I'd really like to see another Vectorman game that stays true to the originals. I'm glad they canned the PS2 one because it was a completely different game with just the Vectorman name. The PSP could pull this off quite well I think.

[sivart]

A new Earthbound would be amazing

[Arcade Antics]

Forgive my stupidity, but what the hell is this supposed to mean? x_x

Yeah, a Vectorman 3 would be cool...

So would:

Streets of Rage 4
Jet Force Gemini 2
Banjo-Kazooie 3
Diddy Kong Racing 2
Lego Racers 3 (If They went back to the design of the first, because I hated Lego Racers 2)
