The last few years have been pretty good years for older
gaming properties. With the resurgence of sidescrolling games thanks to NEW
Super Mario Bros. and the whole download market allowing developers to make
smaller games, tons of game franchises both new and old are seeing revisits.
Games like Rayman Origins, A Boy and His Blob, Bionic Commando Rearmed, Mega
Man 9 & 10, Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Yars’ Revenge and plenty of others have
all brought attention back to long dead franchises. As well as other games
returning still existing franchises back to their roots such as Sonic
Generations, Donkey Kong Country Returns and Kirby’s Return to Dream Land. The
point is, we live in a world where nostalgia rules, especially the gaming
industry.

So it got me thinking about what other franchises I’d like
to see get a facelift. There’s plenty of great gaming franchises from the past
that are well deserving of making a comeback and for some, there’s no excuse.
Not all of them need to be retail releases and most of them don’t even need to
make the leap to three dimensions; all we need is for them to come back. So
without further delay, let’s take a look at the ten game franchises I want to
make a comeback.
