i second Mischief Makers. that was such a fun game.

also, the MOTHER series. not anything special or even new. i just wish nintendo of america would stop hatin' on the series so much. i want earthbound for the virtual console. :< Mother 4 would be cool too, but i don't think that's gonna happen, and i dont know if i really want that to happen anyway.

Rocket Knight Adventures

yesss. i came into this topic with two answers on my mind. one was Jet force Gemini. the other was Rocket Knight.

Some series I want back which have already been mentioned:

- Ecco (2D please!)
- Jet Meto (I was actually thinking of this when I clicked on the topic)

Also, I want to see these come back:

I want Rayman to return to 2D where he rightfully belongs. I don't want to see these spin off party games anymore. Give me something akin to the original Rayman which was awesome. Actually, even Rayman 2 was a great 3D platformer - but still I prefer 2D if they can help it.


Ok, so Zombies Ate My Neighbors can't really be considered a series, but a sequel was released that apparently failed (how come I only found out about this now?). Having this game return would be awesome. Keep it 2D, enable wireless multiplayer, custom level creation, I don't care. Even a basic game with the same concept with minimal features would be great!


Bring back Donkey Kong Country. In other words, a proper 2D DKC game. I just want good platforming to return.

Speaking of platforming, I wish that Disney could go back to releasing awesome platformers based on their movies. Who doesn't remember playing Lion King, Alladin, Beauty & The Best (I can't believe a game this hard was marketed for children!), Mickey Mouse Castle of Illusion, QuackShot, etc. All these are awesome platformers.

Looking back at this entire post, I've basically come to the conclusion that I want to see the return of the 2D platformer.

Also, this too:

It'll never happen though because Konami now owns the rights and they're too ignorant to continue a series that bested DDR and proved that they suck as a company. Long live ITG... at least you continue to live on due to custom song creation.

dark cloud was horrible as well. all your weapons had limited number of uses but unlike in dc2 if it broke in DC1 it was gone forever if I remember right. good game design...

System Shock 3, anyone?
Aka Bioshock done correctly plz (not that i didn't like Bioshock... I LOVED it. But it was a dumbed down SS2).

Ugh, there are so many things I hate about that game. I played it longer than I should have just to see if it would get better, but it never did - it actually got worse as I realized how repetitive it was. The randomized maps were all terrible looking, too.


Anyway, I personally would like to see a Breath of Fire VI.

I don't know if anyone remembers playing the game Return Fire for the playstation?  It was one of the most fun multiplayer games I've ever played.  Basically you control military vehicles and try to capture each other's flag and bring it back to your own base.  I would like to see this re-done with the same camera distance and angle but on the xbox/ps3.  It would work great over the internet or in person and it was a lot of fun.

man if I started a game company it would definitely be like Singletrac - we wouldn't give a crap about how our games looked at all (seriously the Twisted Metal games looked like they were 64x48 resolution or something) but they'd have the best gameplay ever so nobody else would care either and we'd create like every good new franchise for whatever system it was (didn't they make Warhawk too I heard that was good)

A Secret of Evermore 2 or something!! I really liked SoE. Or a new Donkey Kong Country typeish game.

An actual Donkey Kong Country-esque game would be amazing. They missed the mark with Donkey Kong 64 by a long shot. But yeah, with the right direction it could be ace.

Mystical Ninja Staring Goemon...

That is all

Yeah Keen and Ecco and stuff would suck ass in 3D. If only people still developed for the Genesis and SNES. I guess maybe some guys could make fan game sequels for Pc though.

I could've sworn I read that some small team worked on and released a genesis game  they made on an actual cartridge.

edit:

this might have been it.

i want to pick these up.

after the recent disappointment with the whole Blood of Bahamut thing, I find myself hoping for a Bahamut Lagoon sequel(not really a series, beyond maybe being a FF spin off, but w/e). Also a new (non-cell phone)Parasite Eve would be nice(preferably with more in common with PE 1 then 2).

You know Phantasy Star...before the series went online.

Yeah, that's what I want.

I would give just about anything for some more Snowboard Kids.  Snowboard Kids 2 was the reason I bought an N64 as a kid.  And I saved up the money for it entirely myself (granted it was based on allowance, and my parents gave me quite a bit, but it was still a LONG period of time saving up for it for a kid).  I still play it occasionally when I feel like hooking up the N64.  It's my favorite racing game of all time, and is just...so dang fun.  Put that shit on the 360 with online play and my life would be improved greatly.

edit: apparently it has been continued, there was apparently a ds version (could just be a complete port though).  but ugh it has the gayest cover ever...has anyone played this?  i will buy it if it is good
