Inspired by the thread:
What classic game series needs an update?

and a commercial for the new Sonic Heroes game. I saw this ad in Game Informer with the slogan: "It's time for some new Heroes", and I thought to myself, "if we need new heroes, then why remake Sonic again?"

I'm really tierd of franchises that are older than most gamers. Starting with Sonic the Hedgehog. After Sonic Adventure (the worst piece of crap ever to disgrace the Sonic name on the Dreamcast) they should have hung the little spike-haired bastard from his neck until he was dead.

I have others, but I'm curious if anyone would like to rant with me.

I would love to see Tomb Raider games bite the big one. I haven't been interested since part 2 and i think it is time to give it a rest.

Turok, Tomb Raider, Mortal Kombat, Bloody Roar. That is a decent enough list for starters

I think Final Fantasy series need to be retired and Square needs to create a new chapter of RPG domination with different title.

Mega Man
King of Fighters
Resident Evil
Silent Hill



Seriously, just kill them off while they still have a shred of decency left.

Yeah, gotta concur with punqsux except for possibly Mega Man. Capcom needs to think of something new for that. Same formula since SNES (and NES MM's basically too).

King of Fighters is still going strong and 2003 is probly one of the best yet. Ugly as hell, yes, but still hella fun.

Some games that have really annoyed me are the Mario Party's, all the Final Fantasy's, Bomberman's, and no offense but Midway games. They can't seem to find their niche in the game industry!!
Remind me of 3 good games that Midway has made for THIS GENERATION gaming consoles---And I will take back what I said!

See...Street Fighter games require skill. You've always been - and probably always will be able to - win at Mortal Kombat by button mashing.

Just because you're mad that someone doesn't like your fighter doesn't give you the right to bash another.

To all of the mods: I'd suggest closing this thread before it becomes a giant flame war.

I've never heard of that game. Is Gay Street Fighter a new Capcom game, a metrosexual greco-roman simulator?

If so what would make that any different from any WWE game? *zing* That's another game they should retire, plus any game with 'extreme' in the title. Also I agree they should retire Sonic before they destroy his reputation any more.
