One Free Man
We have franchizes we want gone, now what do we want back?

I frankly would love a banjo kazooie for one of the new titles.

Another doom installment would be appreciated as well.

Dark Exile
Oddworld, Shenmue, Crimson Skies, Advent Rising, Jade Empire and a true KotOR sequel are my top choices.

ArtificialGlory
The old 'Might and Magic'. It's just a pipe dream though.
'Warcraft' as an RTS. Thankfully, this one at least has chances of happening.

I'm pretty sure they're still coming out with a Doom 4 sometime, so you needn't worry about that.

Also, Killer Instinct. Get off your asses Rare and show me some more of the good stuff you used to make.

Nephthys
I believe they're actually making a sequal. It was in some games magazines and on one of the review websites (Gamespot likely).

MooCowofJustice
Tomba!, the Classic Spyro, Sly Cooper (I think this is actually happening, I love you, Sucker Punch.),Super Mario RPG (I don't care for Paper Mario, well, Super Paper Mario anyway.)

I really hope inFamous continues too. That game was great.

You do realize that if a Sly Cooper sequel is being made right now, an inFamous sequel won't be made for quite a while.

Dude. It single-handedly revolutionized the beat-em-up craze of the late 80's-90's.

Thanks to DD, we got Battletoads, Streets of Rage, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Golden Axe, Final Fight...
Now we have Kingdom Hearts, God of War, Dynasty Warriors, Devil May Cry, Prince of Persia, et al.

Well, forgive my ignorance there then. I didn't know all those actually started because of Double Dragon...
But that's definitely good to know, so I'll take your word for it. Really do learn somethin' every day.

Love the TMNT games by the way, so I guess I do owe DD some more respect.

I don't really like DD that much either, but they deserve to have a major comeback for all they've done for the beat-em-up genre.

Earthworm Jim...

Srsly. This was one of the best platformers ever made in the history of gaming. It deserves another comeback... in 2D FORM!

With Star Fox, a nice middle ground between 64 and Assault with some of the map/campaign elements of command.

Conker's Bad Fur Day needs a reboot/sequel. An UNEDITED f*cking one, at that! God, the N64 version was so awesome. I wish that Wii VC would let you download it.

Well it's just that I finally got to play Fighter's History Dynamite and I can confidently say it's a pretty good game. Of course, so many reviews hardly ever talk about how good the game is and just can't shut their mouths about how similar it is to Street Fighter 2 (*cough*Frankie Yagami*cough*).

Yes!

Had to scratch off Jet Grind Radio. I've never played that before.

stargun
Megaman X, Darkstalkers (and I'm not alone with this one huh?), Bloody Roar, Final Fight and Dino Crisis.

MooCowofJustice
I still think a PS3 Spyro the Dragon would be fantastic, classic style. I can't even imagine what kind of cool visuals we could get out of it for the worlds and levels we'd play in.

Oh, and I kind of want someone to continue Jade Empire now, so I could actually try it.

Cyner
Eternal Champions.

The first fighting game series I really fell in love with. Sadly not many played the amazing sequel.

They should really go "old skool" if they do decide to make another SS. It worked well for KOFXII and XIII.

Add a few new perks but use SSII as the foundation of the game, that would be blessin to us all.

Then you've never played one of the greatest games of all time, then. You still got your DC, right? Get a couple blank CDs and I'm sure you know the rest. big grin

Don't wait on another DS anytime soon. If they thought MVC3 was hard...lol.

P-Geyser
FATAL FURY and I don't care what anybody says. The FF games had creativity like interacting with the stages plus I think Terry and Co have been jobbers for too damn long in KOF. I would not mind if the story focused on another character.

GAROU MOTW'S 2 would also be awesome. I don't know why playmore did not want to follow up with Rock Howard's adventures. I am sick of seeing KOF.

I'm sorry, but I don't do those things.

I think they can do it and they will. After what was said, I think we will see the game someday soon.

I do agree about Fatal Fury. SNK really need to step it up on their franchises. Back in the 90s, they just kept pumping up all of their series and even creating new ones.

Nowadays, it's just KOF, Metal Slug, and SS, as well as some anime-ish series that's only been on the DS in Japan (Doki Doki Majo Shinpan!).

They really gotta recapture their magic of those days and start working on series other than the ones I just mentioned.

Cap's playin in their asses and you know it. I personally just think, they don't have the talent, nor the confidence to achieve such a feat. If not that, then they're already workin on it and are just trollin. Hell, even if they aint developin it as we speak, they still trollin.

1 million sigantures?! C'mon!

You sound like someone very familiar to me, now. Hmmm.

I know Ono trolls but I wouldn't go so far as to say the whole company trolls. Maybe it won't be DS but I have a feeling that there will be a fighter from Capcom's past making a return. I do agree though, actually, I would go so far as to say that no dev team on Earth has the chops to create another DS as good as the last, in a timely manner. There was a post on SRK where the DS devs say it took two years just to THINK up the characters and their moves.

Also, do you have a copy of Jet Grind Radio I could borrow? The game seems interesting. Also, have you been to the UFGT7? GO!

Tha C-Master
Duke is here.

We need Baldur's Gate, Battletoads, and Killer Instinct would be nice too.

They all do, the only guy I know fom there who doesn't troll ultra hard is Seth.

How could I not go? It was literally about a 3 minute walk from my job. You could look outta the window and see the tourney from where I was workin. UFGT7 was hype tho. Especially for MVC3, which I just don't understand. There was just so many entrants. I played few casuals and got blown up but it was just way too much of a hassle to play the top players. Everyone was mobbin up treatin those guys like superstars and I didn't have all the time in the world to stay. I met Keits, tho. He's a really cool dude with a sick MODOK. I think I might go back to SRK...

Nemesis X
Eternal Darkness needs to come back. Some of the horror games that came out lately aren't quite up to par with what Silicon Knights unleashed in 2002 imo.

Sega should bring back Last Bronx. Seeing how the VF5 games are turning out this gen, I don't see why Sega won't just bring back Last Bronx too. I'd want to see how that turns out now. It would have been Sega's great answer to Namco's Soul Calibur.
