Actraiser.

Imagine if someone developer like Vanillaware did a reboot of this series how awesome that would be.

Oh my god yes I want this now.

This does sound really good. I hope God will be able to eat lots of tasty treats to level up.

I doubt anyone's gonna know what it is, but I'd love to play Nightmare Ned again. Classic PC horror game.

It's just that the companies just won't want to. That's the only thing is if a developer would get that straightened out, somehow tell the companies to shut up, tlansrate it, and release a compilation or three of the series.
We're talking a decent game here that's easy enough to understand for a kid to just plow through, and challenging enough to get a 0 casualty rate on a playthrough that there would be at least one 2-print version. MAYbe not the most popular of all time, but decent enough to "make the paper" as they say.

EDIT:Maybe I need to figure out what company would have the minerals to take this on?
There has got to be ONE developer that would do it with enough fan support.

Heh, that's not how the real world works. We don't live in a world of teenager-ish logic where products can magically come out just because you want them to.

Licensing, depending on the people involved, can be a nightmare even for normal products. Sometimes companies don't want to license out their stuff for foreign release at all, sometimes they'll only be willing to do so for outlandish, upfront compensation, etc. There would be SO many people to go through to work out all of the licenses for a typical Super Robot Wars game. I'll take a stab in the dark and guess that some of the anime featured in Super Robot Wars games haven't even seen release outside of Japan. Even if it was possible to clear it with everyone, it would probably take so much time and money that it would kill all profitably of a foreign release that's guaranteed to only have niche appeal. Now, if the Super Robot Wars games with original mechs had been massive successes, then maybe somebody would take a serious stab at it, but obviously that didn't happen.

Back to the 3 Sheets for me then.

My other concern is:
XIII
The bizarre comic based game, what we all love and enjoy.
The sequel is not here. What gives?

XIII is coming back, just not how most want it to be: http://www.destructo...ps-214665.phtml

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Okay Nethack and Escape Velocity sound incredible, I'll have to check those out.

I was gonna joke around like "I had this great idea to continue the Mega Man Legends series", but at this point I'm too hurt that it's not happening (yet).

I'd actually like to see a Mega Man Legends HD remake or something. My hopes, however, are not representative of the majority of gamers, so I doubt that it would happen. Although...the Lost Planet graphics/physics engine was made with the idea of Mega Man Legends in mind, as that one guy said in an interview.

They liked MML enough to make a number 3, unless that got canceled and I'm going to cry.

You're going to cry.

Capcom was doing so great with Mega Man 9 and 10, then they basically said "fuck Mega Man" for some reason I can't fathom.

It wouldn't have anything to do with Keiji Inafune`, nothing whatsoever.

Context my good man, take it all in context.
Who made nights, and how often do they make steaming piles?
There's your answer, the question is the answer, as well as the answer.

You should have suggested this sooner, because they made Batman Returns: The Diminishing Return of the Return of the Joker (Hamill Edition) instead. The sequel, Batman Returns: The Diminishing Return of the Return of the Joker (Hamill Edition) 2 was just released recently, I guess people are calling it Arkham City or some dumb thing.
