With a thread involving what you wish would go away forever and another to tell which you want back, here's a thread to tell which certain games of this generation you believe should survive for the next generations to come in video gaming.
I'm aware that in this day and age, almost every game has some kind of sequel or spinoff game, but I'm talking about what games you think have potential to become long-term franchises not unlike Mario.
For me, I remember Suda51 stating that while NMH2 is Travis Touchdowns last game, he currently has enough plans for up to a No More Heroes 5. I'll hold him to that. I also honestly think that a solid trilogy can come of what started with Batman Arkham Asylum.

sonic - srsly, i dont even consider it a franchise anymore - just a string of crappy 3d games that, despite the main characters, have very little relation to eachother
I'd like to see the X-men become a franchise. I'd like to see an x-men game that offers a team of badass mutants that control flawlessly and make you feel like a champ in the same fahsion of, Wolverine. Seriously, i think it's time we retire the childish, Ultimate Alliance and step up into maturity and the next generation. Imagine playing a 4 player co-op game of X-men which is handled with the same level of design and care that, Wolverine had.
I'd also like to see Ghostbusters extend into an ongoing franchise with 2 or 4 player online co-op as well as, Aliens;Colonial marines If that happens, i'll finish out my gamer years with a smile.

I think Shanoa from Castlevania Judgement and Order of Ecclesia is a compelling enough character to have her own spinoff series. Being the single most tragic protagonist in the series helps too.

I think a franchise based on the 2004 Punisher game would be awesome.

The best part of that game was experiencing from a 3rd person perspective just how dangerous and frustrating fighting Bullseye is.
