Bring back these classics!
 

There are a couple threads that discuss the resurrection of Earthworm Jim and Splatterhouse. A popular gaming magazine ran a cover story about old game franchises making their comeback. There are more than a few great games and game franchises that are still on the shelf, though, and I think a few of them could actually be done justice in the current gen of games. What games do you wish would be dusted off and given new life?

My short list:
Punch-Out!
Smash TV
River City Ransom

Road Rash. It's one of the coolest franchises ever, but they recently canceled the latest sequel.

How about some old school 2d contra!

Give me more 2D Castlevanias and I'm content.

And well.....Earthbound.

Contra IV was already released on the DS.....

Really? There is a 2d contra on DS?!?! Where the F have i been !!!?!?!!?!

Being an idiot.

Contra 4 on the DS is spectacular and hard as shit. Get it.

Contra 4 was all sorts of awesome. Still hard as fuck, but awesome. Plus it's got the NES Contras packed in too.

Seconding Punch-Out. Awesome game with sick music. I'd personally love it if the Chrono games made a comeback. Chrono Cross wasn't the sequel we wanted, and Square's too busy making spin-offs to give a shit.

lol i wonder how a punch-out game in ds would be and also with touch screen controls only i think smash tv is in the xbla

Does Contra 4 on the DS have multiplayer?

Yea, Contra 4 has multiplayer. I think it's multicard only, though.

They'd probably only use the buttons for a DS Punch-Out, but my bet is that if there ever is a third game, it'd be on the Wii, and use motion controls, much to the chagrin of many.

A while ago I was thinking how awesome it would be to have a new Super Dodgeball game. And lo and behold just last week they released a new one for the DS!

I forgot Paperboy. An addicting game that would be perfect for the Wii.

Has guys rolling tires!

F yea! Same thing happened to me. About the dodgeball not this new contra that slipped by me.
