What games do you want risen from the grave?

[Acolyte]

Banjo Kazooie. Nuts and Bolts wasn't terrible, but it just didn't have the same feel. I'd like to see a legitimate sequel with the original platforming elements in tact.

[Acolyte]

Yes I know. I want another sequel.

[PhoenixFire]

Diablo. The first one. I really wish they would take that and do something to it. They got the first one right, second was okay, and third is crap. Go back and relearn from your first success and then maybe get something good put out =p


<not that I think Blizzard Entertainment would be reading this thread, but that's mostly a rant AT them lolz...>


But seriously, I think they could do a lot more with it now, with expansion packs, character improvements, and overhauling some of the dungeons.

YAY! Finally one who thinks the same about the Diablo series.
I think the first one was really the best one too. (\s/)

[Shalaren]

The first one was definitely the best. (It's the same case for most things actually)

[Arrow]

Chrono Trigger,

Battle Toads,

Unreal Tournament

[&&&&&&&&&&&&&]

Ditto on Chrono Trigger, but I wouldn't want Square to make it.

[Ryosis]

I don't know if it counts, but I'd like to see a proper sequel to Freedom Fighters. That was one of my all time favorite games from the last generation. It had a lot of cool concepts, particularly when it came to squad management and strategy. Sure, you could go John McClain on everything, but it was so much more fun to position your group and coax the Soviets into walking into an ambush.

If we're talking about remakes/reboots/reimaginings, I want to see one for Demon's Crest from the SNES.

[haloOfTheSun]

The people that actually made good games at Square are all at Monolith Soft now (which is owned by Nintendo). Square Enix is pretty much nothing anymore.

[The Shadow]

Another game that has to be revived with a sequal is Conker's Bad Fur Day. RARE did start on a sequal, but it was cancelled. And the remake isn't nearly as good as the original. I want a sequal that has the same vulgar humor as the original.

[Arrow]

Enix properties were so NEAT man. They weren't exactly heavy weight contenders, but you could be guaranteed they were just a little bit different.

Ditto on Demon's Crest, that game was fucking awesome, even if the final bosses were a bit...insane.

[Long Duck Dong]

Axelay 2.

Soul Blazer.

Actraiser.

Megammannnn....

Speaking of the legendary megaman himself.....

He comes back at Mario with a vengeance! XD

[Arrow]

F-Zero needs a new game damn it. I know they just said the tech wasn't good enough to make it worthwhile, but I want more.

[haloOfTheSun]

Miyamoto said he doesn't know what to do with F-Zero that would be new and doesn't understand why anyone would want another one. That and the fact that Mario Kart 8 seems to be approaching F-Zero territory makes it unlikely we'll see a new one soon, but I'd like a new one as well.

[amerk]

Personally, I would love for somebody to get the rights to Crystalis and relaunch the game into a brand new series. The NES version was far superior to the GBC one, with better music, strategy, and even story, but considering how late into the NES lifespan it came out, I don't think it ever got the fame it deserved.

It was one of the best action rpg's at the time, even surpassing the original Legend of Zelda in some ways, and introduced certain game mechanics that are still used today (jump boots, ocarinas to call a whale, 8 directional movement...).

[Moss.]

Metroid. It's certainly in the grave after what Team Ninja did to it. Just give it back to Retro Studios, dammit. They made the Prime games with such an amazing artistic passion and attention to detail, imagine what they could do with today's graphics.

It would be tough, though. Tougher than it was turning Metroid in to a first person adventure game (which Retro pulled off flawlessly, by the way). It would be tough because something needs to be addressed about the Metroid games: why does her suit keep failing, and bringing us back to square one? Team Ninja tried to address this by making Samus a whiny peon that had to run through a volcano without the varia suit because some big strong man told her she had to. It was idiotic and threw the very idea of who Samus is in our faces. Not to mention the liberal re-writing of well-established events in the previous games just to make Metroid: Other M make sense. And also, yeah, we get it. Metroid: Other M = MOM. Bottle ship = a baby's bottle. The baby, the baby, the baby. God dammit, we get it, Samus is a "mom" and the metroid is her "child." Jesus, what a horribly written game.

So yeah, it would be difficult to justify Samus loosing all her suit powers for the millionth time, but ... gdammit, I just want more Metroid Prime.

[EvilM00s]

When I was a kid, there was an arcade game called Rolling Thunder. It was the most basic platforming shoot-the-bad-gize game ever but I LOVED it.

They ported a Ghosts and Goblins spin-off (Maximo) to PS2 and that worked. How about another for current systems?

And while they're at it, how about a next-gen console version of some more Nintendo classics, like Faxanadu or Battle for Olympus (and dont tell me God of War was) or even another Gauntlet?

And yes, something ought to be done to Team Ninja for taking a well-loved protagonist like Samus and turning her entire vibe upside down. She's supposed to be tough.

[Sophist]

I would really like Doom to come back.

[Arrow]

I want another Enix RPG.

I know that's not specific, but 7th Saga, Mystic Ark, Brainlord... man, there was just a vibe to those I can't find in anything else.

[EvilM00s]

BRAINLORD!

[Rekios]

Probably my childhood favorite; The Age of Dinosaurs [Pharmacy Edition] 3D

[tSwitch]

Rival Schools.

I played this game at an arcade for hours and hours.

Edit: I totally forgot but fun little tidbit, Rival Schools was Sakura's first appearance.  She made her way into Street Fighter later on.

[bluntsword]

I remember Rival Schools!

Hmmm, I was bummed when they canceled Mega Man Legends 3. Let's do that.

I haven't even played the game, but based on the horror stories I've heard about its plot, I'm confident I made the right choice in avoiding it.

I'd really like to know why Team Ninja thought it would be a good idea to shit all over Samus' character. She spent half of Fusion lamenting on the fact that she had to take orders (which, given her status as a bounty hunter and not standing military, is entirely acceptable and expected), but in a game supposedly set in between that game and Super Metroid, she's blindly taking orders?

Ugh.

Nintendo really needs to take Metroid back. It's their one and only sci-fi franchise; okay, so it might not be as popular as Zelda and Mario, but it still has a decently large following, and even then it's widely respected in the gaming world. That's probably wishful thinking by this point.

I remember Rival Schools!

Have you heard of Mighty No. 9 by any chance? Evidently Keiji Inafune started his own team after leaving Capcom (probably because they canceled Legends 3), and they're aiming to create a spiritual successor to Mega Man. He had a Kickstarter going to fund it.
