What game series do you want to come back?

Pong remaster is overdue

It was just remastered on the Gameboy Color and the PS1, the fuck you mean?

Kid Icarus
Dark Cloud
F-Zero
Thrillville
NiGHTS (Balan Wonderland isn't a revival)
Mario Sports (Mix) series-as in the series with the Final Fantasy characters.
Parappa the Rapper

Balan Wonderland held promise, with its cute character design; too bad the actual gameplay was utter rubbish...

Mario & Luigi never got a Switch game; maybe that should be brought back?

Ultima's death is tragic.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. I know we got a remake recently, but I would love to see a brand new game in the the franchise.

Finish Sly Cooper. I want to know what happened after the 4th game as we were left with a cliff hanger.

I want a third Chrono installment, and Golden Sun 4 on Switch. Or hell, Port the trilogy to the Switch with modern graphics.

 

[LeonTheo02]

I want a new Splinter Cell (a proper one, not like Blacklist 2013 on weird buggy Unreal 2.5)...
Note to all big game companies: Stop doing remakes, start making new games!

3. 2d castlevania

Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver
Mod Nation Racers
Onimusha
Resistance

Drakengard series

Really in this day and age I don't know which game i'd want to come back. A lot of reboots seem to be a bit hit or miss... but...
I'd love if I could get a switch port of this game if it means much?

 

[AncientBoi]

SOCOM FIRETEAM BRAVO series

Title.

For me, I'd love to see Capcom go and make a new Darkstalkers game and maybe even something new out of the Cyberbots games? Out of all of their classic arcade games, the only reason I knew it existed was Jin in MVC1 and MVC2, who had a giant robot he operated and used in the fights!

Darkstalkers, on the other hand, is a series that died too soon. You have all of these classic monsters, all beautifully animated with more frames of animation than even what they use for the Street Fighter Alpha games on the same arcade board, and who all do insane shit like pulling out a chainsaw, a not-Dracula grabbing his opponent, making them beautiful or female for a second, and then sucking their blood, or a werewolf...and it gets only three entries throughout the 90's, and is now relegated to ports, cameos, and alternate costumes for characters in SFV?

Unfortunately, thanks to video game development costs being much higher and therefore, investment riskier than ever before, and during what will probably be some turbulent times coming forward for the industry thanks to COVID and how things play out in the world going forward, companies like Capcom can't take a chance of making multiple different fighting games or new IPs like they did up until the 7th generation of consoles. Multiple Mega Man series running at the same time? Nope, can't happen anymore. At least we have a new Mega Man game now after Mighty Better Than Nothing, but all we've got now are collections of games that a GC running a GCLoader could play 90% of thanks to emulation and some of the collections of the very same series also seeing ports to that system for!

And this isn't just about Capcom either. Konami...well, they're a lost cause at this point, but if, say, Nintendo were to grow some balls for once and snatch up some of their classic IPs like Goemon, Castlevania, Contra, Metal Gear Solid, etc., and maybe do something new with them that people would actually want to play...well, fun to think about.

Speaking of Nintendo, where's a new F-Zero game? Least they could do to gauge interest is release a F-Zero collection with all of the games, including the GBA ones, and see how well it sells, but it's like Nintendo wants to leave money on the table when it comes to Switch ports. Anything to do with action in the future or space seems to get ignored at the company more so than stuff to do with Mario, Yoshi, Legend of Zelda, Fire Emblem, Pokemon, and Mario Kart. Ever since the days of the Wii, anything that isn't these franchises from Nintendo gets a big ignore from them, it seems. Can you imagine if they made a new F-Zero game that outdid Fast RMX?


That's all that's coming to mind atm when it comes to games that I remember seeing all around me and playing that aren't getting any sort of continuation at this point. What are some old series/franchises that you want to see come back or get some more attention from a company/publisher from?

This might sound like an overused statement but it's F-Zero. GX is still a blast to play though and if the franchise doesn't get a sequal i'd at least want to see the game remastered in high quality
