An updated version of Star Wars Supremacy (Rebellion). Game kicked ass, just a bit outdated graphics wise now.

A new 2d metroid wouldn't hurt, a new theif game and if they ever gave us another kid icarus i would buy it in an instant.

Megaman (classic pre-X and Legends)

^^ This. How about a new 2D Megaman game for Xbox Live Arcade? I wouldn't mind reviving Punch Out! either.

how about that kotor eh? well i'm unsure as to a sequal... but as to the post about bioware bringing back an old series... i think they should definatly do a kotor 3... kotor 2 by obsidion just seemed off... mostly b/c there is only one bloody ending to it no matter if you are good or evil... unlike kotor 1 where if your good [kind of spoiler] congragulations hero of the galaxy unlike the evil bastard who won an entire fucking army to obeidiently worship you just like a fascist dictator...

Bioware said its in their mind to do Kotor 3, just not right now. (I got this from Wikipedia, so do not go crazy over it).

Or System Shock, oh wait...

I loved SimCopter, I was 12 when I first found what happened on Friday the 13th...

Alex Kidd! Now that Sonic's name has been so sullied, Sega needs to rediscover its former pride and remind itself where they got their start. Then they can return to making brilliant games again.

The Sega Rock-Paper-Scizzors game? Why?

Some of these are perhaps already mentioned but i'd just like to compile a list of the ones i'd love to see return.

Dungeon Keeper definitely, i miss those games a lot. I never got to play them much but they really were wonderful to play.

Colony Wars also needs a revamp, Every single space-based game that comes out these days is an RTS or a strategy game. I want a good old fashioned space shooter! (Freelancer was good for the PC, but not quite what i'm after)

As much as i love the game (it's my all time favourite), I don't think Xenogears should be remade. To me it's the original's charming look with the sprites and the graphics of the PS1 that make it so attractive to play again and again. If it got a remake of some kind, i'd really wish it only remade it to the extent that it was made in it's full form again.

Keep the cute characters, keep most of everything the same, just flesh out that second half of the story like they never got to do!

Other than that my ultimate support goes to the reviving of the Oddworld games. After the commercial Failure of stranger's wrath (another of my favourite games) Oddworld climed that the gaming community was nothing more than a bunch of sequelites who were too scared to give anything new and original to try. And looking around me they were right. My only solace is that Oddworld are now making CGI movies instead, starting with Citizen Seige which is due for release next year i think?

SimAnt. That was an incredibly educational (thanks to the beefy manual), yet entertaining video game.

No, if any SIM game gets remade, I want SimTower. I still play the original when I'm REALLY bored at work.

Does anyone know why they didn't produce another?

well prince of persia was a great game series, the story was good and the combat was fluent (the second game had the best though ^^)
and i would like to see it back in action.

I hope it's as good as the originals...

Planescape: Torment - Talking skulls are cool
Mech Warrior - What is there not to like about a 50 ton walking tank?
Tie Fighter - As long as George Lucas has nothing to do with it (he's gone mad).
Freespace - I want me some Shivan Bashing!
Shadow of Colossus - That would be amazing on next Gen platform.

Hello Kitty Island Adventure - Best game ever made!

Scroll down to the veeeeeerrry bottom, and the second last entry you'll see is Dungeon Keeper 3/War for the Overworld. I suppose Overlord is a -similar- concept, but, much much less. It would have been sweet if they had got it up and running, but quite different from the previous DKs. As for why they don't make another now? Well....EA owns Bullfrog. But they split everyone up to work on different projects.

Dungeon Keeper would be solid altough that Natural Born Keepers "mod" looks to be quite promising. But beyond the appharent I'd ay Homeworld 2, I mean why have'nt anyone thought of making a Homeworld 3? Especially in our dry day of remakes and revamps.

I can remember playing this game "Mercs" on the Megadrive way back when, and recently I played it on emulator...

Let's see a remake of that (:

I'd have to say alot of the old apple computer games such as spin doctor, oregon trail, and lemmings. Those games were quick, kept my attention long enough for me to care and fun enough to play through.

I second the vote for more Hitman. Though the last one was in 2006 so that wouldn't really class as a "comeback"...more of a continuation.

how about a new Bloody Roar? been years since I've played it but I remember they put a great twist on the old beat 'em up formula by letting you temporarily mutate into a huge freaking monster. The memories of being attacked by a gaint mole still stay with me....

Thief-series. How could they fail so much with Thief: Deadly Shadows?

Mechwarrior. "Warrior", not "Assault".

X-Wing or TIE Fighter series. Like, you could name the sequel as TIE Fighter Empire. Sure, it sounds a little bit weird but so does X-Wing Alliance!

Haegemonia: Legions of Iron. This one mainly for the explosions. It's been 6 years already but there still isn't any game which has better explosions.

Bring back the Star Wars Tie Fighter and X-Wing games. I used to play them everyday on my old Win 95. Now with XP I can't. They were great games, and with new graphics it would be awesome.

Unknower:

Mechwarrior? Mechwarrior. No, I've lost all faith in the Mechwarrior franchise.

As much as people bash Mechassault for being too "arcade-y", Mechwarrior started this trend. This trend of taking a game as deep and complex as Battletech and reducing it to a first-person shooting gallery. And, starting from 2 (as far as I know; I never had the opportunity to play the first one), cutting and simplifying until you have, well, Mechwarrior 4

The funny thing is, there's really only one feature that the Mechwarrior games need to implement to reinforce it's Battletech roots; critical hits. I remember playing Mech 3 (or 2, I can't remember) for the first time, and seeing the Mechlab. I was so hopeful, seeing how internal systems limited your mech's critical slots in specific areas. But after playing the game I realised that those internal systems only really limited the weapons you could field. You couldn't, say, damage a mech's gyro stabilizers to knock it over.

Some of my most memorable Battletech games ended when I cooked off someones ammo bins with a lucky critical hit, or when I put an AC:10 round through someones cockpit on the first turn. Why can't these scenarios take place in an FPS?

Heavy Gear 2 got it right. I was in awe playing that game; every time I heard sirens going off in my cockpit, warnings on my HUD telling my engine was hit by a peircing round, or when my HUD shut down because my external cameras had been hit.

Anyways, that's my Mechwarrior rant (it's not specifically adressed to you, Unknower ;) ). Maybe if we get a 5 (I guess I still have a little faith that someone will get it right eventually), we'll see some improvement. Maybe even melee combat!

PS> I second a new 2D Metroid.

M.D.K
The old M.D.K games were hard as hell to beat bu they were hellishly fun.
BioWare should get together and make M.D.K 3
M.D.K 2 was a big success so there is simply not a reason why not making a sequel.

A new 2D Metroid.

Metroid Fusion + Metroid Zero Mission wasn't enough?

I second more Shenmue, and not Shenmue Online. Shemue online looks nice (nice for shenmue, not nice for the current generation of games), but I don't see how it could possibly continue the series properly. I don't want a MMORPG version of Shemue. I want to see how the story ends, and I have yet to see an MMO deliver in the story department. From what the trailers show, there is no story. You get online and play as a member of one of the two rival gangs in Hong Kong.

How is that supposed to sell units?

Shenmue was a popular game mainly because of its excellent storytelling. So, SEGA decided to drop the selling point of the series? I think I finally understand why the new Sonic games are so awful. Everyone at SEGA has become retarded.

In regards to the story, isn't it based on a series of books? Were these books ever translated to English?

Also, I feel the need to point out that none of my questions in this post are rhetorical. I would like answers to all of them.

Those hardly count. Zero Mission was a remake, and Fusion was too linear to be a proper Metroid game.
