Topic: Which dead Game franchises should be brought back?

Sonic Adventure.

@SilverAC I see your point, but I don't think Bubsy counts as "dead" anymore due to a couple of recent-ish releases...

@BrazillianCara oh yeah, I forgot about those...

I keep calling Nintendo to demand they cancel Metroid Dread and focus on a new Federation Force game but it looks like they’ve accidentally blocked my phone number

Ice Climber

Also something with the Super Paper Mario villains. Idk how, but those characters had WAY too much personality and charm to just be in one game.

Dead or dormant.

I can cross off Advance Wars this year so that leaves

EarthBound, Chibi-Robo, Sin and Punishment, F-ZERO, Excite Truck, Art Style, Goemon, Boom Street, Tetrisphere, Mischief Makers, and Electroplankton.

Castlevania and silent hill. Would be cool see Un squadron on modern consoles.

I'd love this, but I'd also be terrified unless Treasure (or a developer of similar quality) made it.

@SKTTR I'm pretty sure Itoi said he intended for Mother 3 to be the last one in the series so it's not like it's a dead franchise, but it concluded. It got a proper ending

I'm gonna agree, I don't want Nintendo to make another one, maybe ever. Remakes maybe, but a new game? No, it ended as well as you could hope for, there's no need for a new one.

@kkslider5552000
Actually, I prefer Nintendo making new IP rather than depending on returning franchises.
I saw ARMS was really captivated me since from the firat trailer since I have interest with Boxing.

I think Nintendo should release a Game Cube classic racing triple pack consisting of; 1080 Avalanche, F-Zero GX and Wave Race: Blue Storm. They could give them a bit of a polish in the same way they did with Mario 3D All Stars. If it did well they could look at new games for any of those series.

I'd pay full price for a triple pack of those games!

A new F-ZERO (if it's as content packed as F-ZERO GX) is easily a full price racer that holds up on its own.

And while Wave Race and 1080° are extremely good racers as well, I can see them fitting together as one game somehow. Those two come out of the same Nintendo universe. For example Ryota Hayami from Wave Race 64 is the brother of Akari Hayami from 1080° Snowboarding. On Gamecube both series had new characters and that joined from their "sister" series. A shame the Wave Race / 1080° lore never continued.

If you want to make it a triplette, I suggest Excitebike 64 over F-ZERO. Excitebike 64 had the same "realistic sports racing" feel as Wave Race 64 and 1080° Snowboarding. And though they might have no direct connections, universe- or developer-wise, I'd love to see Jumpin' Jim Rivers and the other Excitebike 64 characters joining the 1080/WR family.

@SKTTR I 100% agree, a new F-Zero game would be stand alone and full price! I was thinking in the first instance they could do a triple-pack re-release of the three games with the aim of gauging interest in those franchises. I think that's what they are trying to do with Advance Wars, but have chosen to invest more and rebuild the game.

I wonder if all three games could be ported easily and how far you could push enhancements before you need to build them from scratch.

Bayonetta should be brought back

This is a super controversial one but... Elder Scrolls yes I know we have elder Scrolls online but we haven't had an elder Scrolls single player game for 10 years so I class as a dead franchise/ game.

Perfect dark zero should also come back

Darksouls

Wave Race. i shall die on this hill.

I'd appreciate anything from Treasure at this point.

Z (from bitmap bros).

Ecstatica - would love to play it on modern hardware.

@Screen Its good to see Pokemon Stadium get some love. Those were my favorite games when I was little. Imagine the possibilities now that there's so many Pokemon and mechanics.
