Franchises that need to be revived

All of us have a favorite game or series of games from our youth that we would love to see "re-imagined." I know I want a new Shining Force, Excitebike, and especially Bionic Commando.

wow.. my very first idea when reading the thread title was

Bionic Commando

but since that's been covered... how about some more

Blades of Steel (well it wasnt a franchise but an awesome game)
Earthworm Jim
Double Dragon
Snow Bros
Kung Fu (the old side scrolling chop sockey on nintendo)
Punch-Out
Paperboy

etc etc.. theres a ton of old material..

I was about to say Paperboy and Punch-Out.

I would like to see Tecmo Super Bowl. But I don't know how it would work.

The mentioning of Shining Force bought back some memories. I loved that game so much when I was a kid and would love to see another one, preferably for the GBA so they could keep the same type of battle system. Another Lunar game would be nice as well.

I want a new Freespace game. Now. Freespace 2 is easily the best space fighter i've ever played (I dont like sims).

I'd like to see Earthworm Jim revived (NOT in 3d)

I'd also like to see a new Rollcage game (anybody remember that one?)

mongycore:

they did follow it up.. its called Interstate 82'... it came out late 99 i believe.. added the nice new feature of being able to get out of your car and run around with a handgun.. fun for multiplayer

i have the game itself with box sitting not more than a foot away from me..

unless by 'worthy followup' your saying this game sucks.. in which case.. ignore the above comments

Wild 9; that game was fucking insane. What other game could you pick up a baddie, impale him on spikes, throw him into a meat grinder, or repeatedly slam him into the ground until he turns into mush? Awesome.

Probably LucasArts got cold feet as they think only StarWars related stuff will turn a profit these days...I too was looking forward to FT2 and S&M 2...But hopefully we might get upgrades of the old Tie-Fighter/X-Wing games...I miss those as well!

How about an old school style Mario game, instead of all this Mario Kart and 3-D bullshit?

Contra was already revived with Shattered Soldier last year, and there's another one coming out this year.

Syphon Filter had some really enjoyable gameplay and inventive levels. I'd like to see Gabe Logan updated for PS2. Anything in the works?

Oh, and Sam & Max. Hell, I'd buy a lousy Sam & Max cart racer.

There's a new Syphon Filter actually coming out in late summer I believe. I forgot what's it called, but I now they added new castmembers and it's probably going to be online also. I also remember hearing something a while ago about how Gabe is now only going to be coordinating the team, while others actually do the actual mission. But like I said, this was from a preview from last year and they could have changed that aspect of the game.

Oh yeah, there's also going to be a new Sam and Max hitting about winter 2004/spring 2005. It's a good time for sequels!

Sorry about the Sam and Max thing. I got the information from a recent Gamepro so I had thought that it was still going through, but I guess I was wrong.

Nothing would be more satisfying than nailing somebody in Wisconsin with a dodgeball and hear them scream about how they're having flashbacks of 6th grade over the voice communicator. Please, somebody get Ultimate Dodgeball back.

Maybe not resurrections, per se, but it would be awesome if LucasArts released improved versions of Full Throttle and Sam & Max. I'm not talking huge overhauls, just cleaning up the graphics a bit, and remixing the sound so that it will a)be able to be listened to in surround, and b) it will work with newer cards.

I used to play FT all the time, but I can't anymore because it doesn't work with my SB Audigy.

Yep. I can get the program to run, but the audio won't work. Half the fun is in the voices.

I'd sure like to see a new Star Control game. Also Fallout 3 (as an in-depth RPG like the first two, not the Brotherhood of Steel crap).

Fallout 3 is being revived, according to GameSpot. No word on who will be developing it. Cross your fingers and pray that it's Bioware.

Damnit, I was just gonna pop on here and suggest this, and I then I see you beat me to the punch. Only now they'd be making Mutant League Tony Hawk or Mutant League SSX. Cause, you know, MLF isn't EXTREEEMEE!!!11 enough.
