Which retro character you would want to be ressurected for Next Gen?

[jka12002]

even though im not really into Next gen games, i would like to see Bubsy make a comeback, i admit that Bubsy 3D killed his reputation but he can still maek one heck of a comeback if done right.

this is Bubsy if you dont know who it is:

There was never a good Bubsy game.

[Agent Helix]

Please. Bubsy was a sub-par platformer in a market already flush with similar garbage. He was a characterless blob of pixels imbued with a dimwitted mid-90s programmer's view of "attitude". The only reason anyone even remembers the character is because Bubsy 3D is one of the worst games ever made.

[Sanagi]

We have this conversation from time to time. Bubsy was a pretty good ripoff of Sonic the Hedgehog. Since no one can seem to make good Sonic games anymore, we might as well give Bubsy a shot at it.

Also, the obvious but necessary answer: Kid Icarus.

[jka12002]

well i aint gonna fight about it, its his opinion and i respect that.

(yes i know im normaly immature but im gonna cut that crap out)

[Kid Kamikaze10]

Jazz Jackrabbit
VectorMan
Aero the Acrobat
Um... Kid Chameleon?
Captain Commando
Strider

[Your Imaginary Pal]

Earthworm Jim...3D Jim would be cool, you have no idea how much I played the
first one on Genesis
Altered Beasts...Greeen Werewolves puncing zombies what's there not to love...
Solomon's Key..impossible puzzle games

[jka12002]

Um... Kid Chameleon?



:eek: my god i cant beleive it.....ive been wanting a Kid Chameleon sequel for a long time. its about time someone else wants one too.

[thehod]

Clearly the best character to be ressurected for next gen shoud be the greatest and original platform character... Miner Willy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miner_Willy)

[jesse_custer]

Boogerman.

Also, Bubsy is indeed horrible.

[Mike Pothier]

This was one of my favorite NES games. Done right, it would own.

You mean Sketch Turner.

Oh god, why do I know that?

Oh yeah, Busby sucks. He always sucked.

The first two Gex games were a better attempt at capturing the Sonic "attitude" but the third game was horrible.

*sigh* Check one-two.... SeeeeGaa....

[Black Atom]

I thought the Bubsy games were okay. As a character, he was pretty useless though. There were really a ton of those crappy platformers, none of which I really need to see reinvented in this gen (although Sparkster from Rocket Knight Adventure killed).

An updated Pitfall Harry could be strong. I wouldn't scoff at Earthworm Jim, Captain Commando or Strider either.

[Donald M.]

An updated Pitfall Harry could be strong.

Been done. A few times. Most recently in 2004. Can't speak to its quality. There's a new one in the works for Wii.

[ezekielreigns]

I second Pitfall Harry and Earthworm Jim. My suggestion would be Skies of Arcadia. I know it's probably to recent to be retro. But that game needs a sequel.

SPARKSTER!!!

That's who I forgot! However, in order for him to still be relevant, the game would probably have to be a modern day Nights into Dreams (you know, besides the one on the Wii. I'm talking about it's importance and impact on the Sega Saturn).

[Astonishing X-Fan]

The Koopa Kids.

Baby Bowser sucks.

[C-Cool]

Weaponlord Characters...

In the next Soul Calibur...

It's from the same company...

Weaponlord nearly had the same system as the Calibur games, only brutal and 2D.

F**k it.

Sparkster, Twinbee, and Earthworm Jim.

Twinbee. Another one I forgot...


And, characters, not entire games...

But a crossover with Weaponlord and Soul Calibur would be AWESOME!!!

But... For one, they'd need to find the actual developers of Weaponlord (which would be pretty hard). Also, that game would be M... Namco probably wouldn't want that...


Then again, I'd love to see how the SC universe handles the Warrior's Moon...



Dang it, I'm putting up the picture... You know this one, C-Cool...

Alright, this thread just got a lot better. Sparkster and Weaponlord were both incredible games. (The former character had a completely different title on the Genesis if I remember correctly.)

He got kicked to the curb by Sonic, and he got killed in Golden Axe...


And he was whining and crying in Segagaga... Though I never play that game...


J/k...

I guess it depends on what you mean by "developers". The company that developed it, Visual Concepts, is still around but currently owned by Take-Two Interactive.

I assume Visual Concepts owns any rights to Weaponlord, so a crossover seems unlikely.

A Weaponlord/GTA crossover could be possible though! :tongue:

True, but the publishers (is that the right word for it?) are Namco, which is why it was brought up, which causes even more problems.

Weaponlord is in a similar position as Blaire Dame and that other guy from Street Fighter EX.

I'd like to see Arthur show up in something like DMC.

Ahhh yes...

When you have truly conquered the battlefield, a red moon, grabbed by a claw, appears behind a laughing demon, sleeping among the bones of dead warriors.

A true ending picture as I ever seen. But the story does not end there (if you beat the hardest difficulty, of course).

I loved that game.

:biggrin:

But seriously, Gex was an alright series... better than Spyro...

X8 was so bad I broke the disc in half and started slicing my wrists with it.

I'm hoping for a time that the series would reach the high it did back in X4, but I know it's silly.

You mean "Zero's debut as a regular character, only we made him so much better than that other guy... you know... that blue boy scout."

'twas alright. But the series highs are as followed.

X
X-3
X-4
X-8

Not in that order. Except X.

FIRE UP THE BEAN-WITH-BACON MEGAROCKET!

[2-4-5_Trioxin]

Alot of games Id love to see redone and in the same token I dont want them redone because Im afraid it will turn into a bionic commando situation where they try and make it realistic and just take away what made the original so good. Like turning him into a convict that gets paroled if he helps, slapping a robotic arm on him and make him swinging around the focus of the game? Sounds awful to me. I dont even want to talk about splatterhouse after seeing the screenshots of the remake.

But sadly most of the games Id like to see redone could never been done right since they were a product of their time, the game industry was different and developers were different then, things change but atleast I have the classics to still play.

Mega man.
And none of the mega man x, or mega man legends, or mega man x4, or mega man maverick hunter bullcrap. Just a straight action game done with newer technology, if done right it could be alot of good shooting and platforming fun.
http://scottthong.files.wordpress.com/2007/01/megamanbox.jpg


Strider.
Im thinking something like a action rpg for this but still retain the story and feel the original had and not just some generic sterile story with some fancy graphics and like a flowing scarf. Personally I was more partial to the nes version vs the arcade or other version, it felt more like a solid game and had a interesting story and wasnt just run left to right and climb and fight and thats it. You had to backtrack for items and such, like a 60/40 combo of action and adventure.
http://www.theoldcomputer.com/Libarary's/Pictures/NESGameCovers/Strider.jpg


Kid icarus.
Another good action/adventure/platform game that could be done well. The problem is them not turning it into another god of war clone or something. What made the original so cool was oddball additions that were funny but actually fit in well like credit cards, egg plant wizards and such along with loose mythology throw in. It was good because it was challeging yet fun, but it being lighthearted in its strangeness was alot of its charm.
http://www.theoldcomputer.com/Libarary's/Pictures/NESGameCovers/Kid%20Icarus.jpg

Earthworm jim
If its done right with a good color pallete, good comedy and varied areas to play in it could be interesting and alot of fun.
http://gaygamer.net/images/EarthwormJim.jpg

[2-4-5_Trioxin]

And.....

Bayou billy.
Could be a fun just straight out beat em up games. Go through swamps, bars, new orelans. He was kind of cool because there wasnt anyone else like him really in that setting and he didnt have super powers or anything, just beat s*** up to save his girl.
http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/nes-games/28-1.jpg

Kuros (from wizards and warriors).
Those were cool games. Adventures through completely different areas, fight monsters, collect items, get weapons and really had a sense of being all alone and trying to defeat a evil fella.
http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2003/all/boxshots2/587775_47019.jpg

Blaster master.
This was awesome. Save your frog was the story hehe. But you got to drive a tank that you got upgrades for for weapons or new items to make it get to new areas, get out of the tank and fight bosses for the tank upgrades. It was like metroid only you had driving, action and adventure in a game. Was great fun.
http://www.racketboy.com/retro/blastermaster.jpg


Battletoads.
This could actually be a good game for today. Could do 2 or 3 players like in the original. If they only kept in the fun hardcore fighting element and its bit of light hearted humor in it and basic storyline instead of trying to explain to much or give it more than it needs. It was fun like bad dudes or double dragon because it was simple. Only thing I didnt like was the fact it comes from the factory preset on "ball buster" difficulty.

Have you checked out Bionic Commando Rearmed? It's every faithful to the original game. From the story, character names, levels, secrets, etc. It's pretty much a graphical makeover of the original game.

2-4-5- Trioxin -- Good calls on some of those games. I'd love to see a new Wizards and Warriors done well. But Bayou Billy? I don't think the kids that are growing up on this next gen consoles could handle a game that f'n hard. But perhaps they need it..would teach them something.
I could do Battletoads without that ridiculous speeder bike race.
And Splatterhouse..I died a bit inside when I saw that.

It was f'ing terrible. Whose bright idea was it to make a Sonic clone that was one hit and die?

On another note, I wouldn't mind Michel Ancel making another Rayman game.

Anyone remeber Rocket Knight Adventures?
He was a talking animal, but he had a jetpack, a sword, and his game (Games? i think there was a sequel) was actually good.

Sparkster aka Rocket Knight Adventures? I think it was brought up earlier in the thread.

I really don't know how (unless on the portable systems) they be able to make a next gen version of Sparkster without it being lost in the realm of platformers, which isn't really a popular genre anyway.

[Donald M.]

I would like to see a modern revival of Karnov, the fire-breathing Russian strong man.

Also, the Bad Dudes should return to further protect American politicians from the threat of terrorist ninjas.

Ratchet and Clank and Super Mario Galaxies were pretty popular.

Nights + Devil May Cry + Jax?

[JCAll]

No love for the puzzle games? It's a crime that nobody has made a new Adventures of Lolo game since the NES. Sure, they tried to sneek him into the Kirby cartoon, but that just a shame.

Also, Bubsy needs to stay dead. No reason to dig him up just to bury him again. The only reason I remember him at all is because the Cartridge forBubsy 2 on the Genesis is a different shape from all my other Genesis cartridges. Rocket Knight Adventures is a definite must revive though.
