/vr/ - Retro Games

Excitebike had an N64 iteration that no one ever talks about. It was pretty good imo.

Also, no love for B.O.B?

>>388745
Some of those are not even dead. There was a new Pitfall literally last year. And Pokémon? Seriously?

>>388792
The Pokemon Snap IP is dead.

Gex would actually make a brilliant XBLA, PSN download game if you could crank one out like every 3 or 4 months, since all his humor and one-liners and jokes were headline and pop culture stuff. If you could get a dedicated group of guys and crank out like 2 levels, like I said, every few months...I bet it would sell.

>>388792
I think the point was that it was specifically Pokemon Snap. There is no solid reasoning behind not making a Wii U or 3DS Pokemon Snap the hardware is basically made for that shit.

>>388814
Can you imagine the fucking game though? Take pictures around your house and find the pokemon in them! Pokemon could be all around you with you not even knowing!

>>388826
>no Pokemon Snap 2
>no more Pokemon Stadiums
>still no console completely 3D Pokemon game
It's like Nintendo purposely wants to kill my dreams

>>388778
excitebike64 is terrible.

I AM KING SHIT OF FUCK MOUNTAIN

>>388745

Drilldozer and F-Zero are repeated.

>>388826

Like Dream radar of 3DS; i think that was it's name.

>Clu Clu Land.
>Bubble bobble.
>Frogger.
>Bomberman.
>Megaman (he deserved it).

You should add Earthworm Jim, Mach Raider, Streets of Rage, Mappy... and Captain Tsubasa.

All I want is Pokemon Snap 2U.

>Zombies Ate My Neighbors
>LucasArts
>the tears running down my face

you can add every lucasart masterpiece like grim fandango and monkey island...

>>389260
Dark Forces, XWing and Tie Fighter series

Shoutout for Commander Keen

>>389231
Pokemon Snappu

What's the fourth one? The baby with the big head. Vaguely remember it from childhood.

>>389423
Bonk

We need a sequel to Space Station Silicon Valley

Since when was Earthbound/Mother a dead IP?

>>389489
Thanks dude.

>>389502
Yes. Even just a game where you have a wide choice of characters with different moves. Playing as animals was cool as well. So were the little puzzles and cryptic clues. Love that game.

You should add Alundra to that list OP. I'm disappointed you don't have that there. Also

Brave Fencer Musashi
Elemental Gimmick Gear
Evolution

Double Dragon got a sequel, dude.

>>388745

>Mole Mania

mah nig

>megaman
>bomberman
>dead IPs
u be trollan

>>388803
no, it's a spin off of pokemon, an IP that is very much still active, and not a very good one at that if I might add

>>389592
not a very good spin off I mean

>>389573
Megaman is wanted dead by Capcom.

>>388745
I like how you used the iPod app icon for centipede, there is some subtle trolling going on in this image, lol

>>389637
>dur hur hur dur
that's how I read that
this is what I hate about gamers, you guys all jump to conclusions before you even know the full story and then take those assumptions as pure ultimate indisputable truth

>Dsi, 3DS, and Wiiu all have camera's built in
>still no Pokemon Snap 2

WHY, NINTENDO

Why wont you take my money

>>389683
because Pokemon Snap was boring and not very popular, if it wasn't for nostalgia you wouldn't be interested in such a thing at all.

>>389687

I never played Pokemon Snap until 4 months ago

It was one of the best recent gaming experiences I've had in a good long time

>>389683
you could also go outside and take pictures of the wild animals in real life. throw some apples at them too if you feel like it.

>>389687
>Not recognizing an interesting idea with potential.

Snap was good as a game, short and limited yes, but is a very good concept for a franchise like pkmn in therms of variety.

Maybe in another lifetime, he'll return to his Phantomile.

>>388778
had B.O.B for the mega drive. game was fucking ace

>>389709

I dont have a camera

Or apples

>>389683
speaking of this why not release the bs zeldas?

>A bunch of bad games
>A bunch of one-off games (not everything needs a billion sequels)
>A bunch of IPs that aren't even dead

Jesus, OP. What the fuck?

>>389734
>Dsi, 3DS, and Wiiu all have camera's built in
so you dont have one of these?
Mobile phone?
its hard not to have some sort of camera in 2013

>>389760

you seem to think I have money

>Sin
>Mega Man
>Crash
>F-Zero
>Banjo Kazooie

That hurts, man.

>>389762
lucky for you Snap2 has not come out then. wouldn't be able to get it anyways.

>>389694
>>389719
maybe I'm remembering things wrong... but wasn't Pokemon Snap just an on the rails shooter with a camera instead of a gun? Maybe I should replay it, but that's how I remember it from when I was a teenager and rented it

>>389818
Yes. That's not a bad thing, though.

>>389818

it sounded lame, but there's jsut so charming about it

Like nailing a meowth right in the face with an apple and then running him over in your cart

>>389829
personally I think railed shooters are boring, and regardless, that is not really an interesting concept like the other person said

>>389838

just something so charming*

Maybe I should go to sleep...

> tfw no mischief makers sequel

>>389843

And look how years later things resulted when somebody decided to make a videogame about lawyers...

A videogame of photography and somewhat interactive landscaping on a system on years when it was unthinkable it was something, and then you add to the basket the personality of one the most popular franchise of the country.

The biggest flaw was the slim to none replayability.

>>389901
actually, a game about lawyers actually IS an interesting concept just because it hadn't been done before (well in that style, maybe there was some obscure simulation game beforehand), in Pokemon Snap all they did was take an on the rails shooter and replaced the weapons with a camera and apples to make it family friendly and put by that time the tired and over used pokemon franchise into it

I want more wexalicious adventures, guys
Is that so much to ask?

>>389901
>>390063
and I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "interactive landscaping", if you are talking about what I think you are, there were plenty of PS1 games that used it by that time

> No Asterik. Shiggy.

>>388745
or fuck legal rights and make the game anyway.

i'm sure some people here have experience with mugen, however terrible mugen is.

>>390106
some of the companies that own the rights to some of the IPs pretty much live to shut fan projects down at this point

>>390112
Don't make development of the game public, keep your real name out of it, release it on torrent sites, problem solved. They can't stop you from making it, and they damn sure can't stop you from releasing it.

if they got sequels they wouldnt be retro, now would they?

>>390063

For "normal" people's logic every game of something not unconventional is boring = Lawyers, Doctors, controlling a dolphin, etc... so, since there's a game about a dolphin i don't see why something like a game of you taking pics of pkmn trying to be a photographer is or sounds boring.

>>390096
>and I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "interactive landscaping".

When you can affect the surroundings, if i recall well you can alter the stage in some parts, but as i said it was limited.

>>390129
>They can't stop you from making it, and they damn sure can't stop you from releasing it.

actually yes they can... what do you think copywrite laws exist for? also you seem to think the internet still works the way it did in 2007

>>390160
yes, but you need to make the game interesting some how, Pokemon Snap did not do that

>>390160
>When you can affect the surroundings
why the hell do you think that was a new thing then? there had been games where you could do that for years, in fact there were games where that was the entire point of it, you are aware that they game was made in 1999, right?

>>388745
(i know im late as fuck but...)
Goemon isn't really dead, he is quite popular in japan. he even got himself a Pachinko machine with remastered music from previous games, from the nes games to the N64 games

>>390187
>why the hell do you think that was a new thing then?

I never said that. i said = >>389719

>>390187
>yes, but you need to make the game interesting some how.

You know i said it was unconventional?; for simple matters are synonymous with interesting.

>>390068
Sadism Simulator

What does IP mean?

>>390373
internet pie

>>388745
F-Zero and Drill Dozer are so dead that they got listed twice.

Konami really need to stop being such faggots and let the Goemon Team make a new game.
The last one was in 2005 for the DS and it was one of the best in the series, they ditched all the bullshit from the "new generation goemon" and went back to the roots.
They made a Goemon pachislot machine (with a great CG movie, I still remember when I saw the video of it on youtube I almost shat my pants thinking it was a new gen Goemon game), and I think some ports of old games for cellphones in Japan, but other than that the franchise seems to be frozen... I refuse to think it's dead, Goemon is Konami's fucking mascot, they can't let it die like that.

>>388745
>wanting Bubsy, Glover, or Gex back
Also, add Wild Guns and Shatterhand.

>>389536
Since Reggie took Nintendo of America's throne.

>>389573
Hudson's dead and Konami's way beyond their glory days, so it's safe to say Bomberman's dead too.

>>388745
At least two that are entirely full of shit:
>Double Dragon
>Because Double Dragon Neon didn't happen
>Milon's Secret Castle
>As if it weren't a pile of shit, and deserved sequels

Also worth noting that SNK uses Athena a fuckton in case you've been living under a rock, and iirc there's news of an actual new iteration of Darkstalkers in the works.

>>389229
>he deserved it
What the fuck? Why?

Was Ty not godawful? I remember it as a bad platformer with awful boomerang stuff tossed in.

>Putt-Putt
>Smash Bros.
>ohgodmysides.jpg

Though a lot of these I'd kill to have in Smash Bros. Ulala, Banjo, Bimmy and Jimmy, Megaman, Joanna Dark, and Conker to pick just a few.

>>389565
Is E.G.G. good? I have a copy for DC, but the disc is scratched to hell and I've never been able to play it.

>>389709
I don't think it's legal to throw balls of gas at local wildlife. Or apples.

Your shit is invalid as soon as R.I.P. and Bubsy exist in the same image

>>388745

>implying bubsy wasn't overhyped and pretty much dead on arrival

Any kind of acknowledgement from some kind of publisher/developer that Perfect Dark existed would be nothing short of orgasmic for this anon, though.

>>389743
they released a BS zelda it was called skyward sword

They guy from Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru might come back in the actual Smash Bros, so there's hope for that. I wouldn't really consider it a 'dead IP', more of a one-off. Unless you're considering IPs that have gone completely unacknowledged since their launch 'dead', in which case you should put Joy Mech Fight in there too.

>>389565
>Brave Fencer Musashi

I love you

>>390068
All muh yes

>paperboy

oh yeah that IP is just ripe for the picking in 2013

All Dead IPs. No spiritual successor was found.

>Kid Dracula

Fuck, that one hurt.

Sparkster is another dead IP, as well as Alex Kidd.

>>391110
No, Ty 1 was the only good game in his trilogy

BUT more importantly he isn't retro. What gives, OP?

>>391313

They tried to revive Sparkster though...
Alex Kidd is really dead, it will just survive through countless Sega All Stars games

>Ice Climber
>Balloon Fight
I want a modern remake of these with the same gameplay but more features and levels

>>391338
Handing one of your more beloved licenses to someone else usually doesn't show that a big a will for revival.
It was done more to throw the fans a bone for a quick buck and it kind of shows, since Rocket Knight, while not being terrible, doesn't really get why fans love Rocket Knight Adventures/Sparkster in the first place both gameplay and aesthetic vise.

>>391349
I'd have loved a n64 era 3D Balloon Fight.

>>388929
>3d pokemon games
you are everything that is wrong with this world.

>>391034
>wanting Bubsy, Glover, or Gex back
Golver and Gex were good. Bubsy is still AIDS though

>>389657
The creator of the series abandoned ship, capcom cancelled a good deal of megaman titles that were coming (such as legends and an MMO) and then it got this phone version with auto play for it's 25th anniversary.
Capcom wants megaman dead badly dude.

just swinging by to remind you guys i'll never have my own game again.

>>391179
Waka Waka! But seriously though. The BS Zelda games would sell like hotcakes. There's no sense in holding back. They already own the game it wouldn't even take any effort on their part. I was certain they'd do it for the big 25th anniversary.

>>389891

>Treasure games having sequels

>>390167
No, they can't. Get a few people to develop the game with and, again, don't make it public. They don't have psychics working for them. They have no way of knowing it's in development. Even if they found out, "Sure, ok, we stopped.", and keep doing it anyway. Not everyone is scared of getting a little c&d notification.

You seem to be under the impression that the internet has changed since 2007 (such an arbitrary year to pick), well, it hasn't. It's still the same it has always been and copyright laws are still a joke.

>>391771
Best IP is best

Gex hurts the most.

>You will never play as a wise-cracking super agent gecko again

>>391484
Bubsy was part of childhood, man. If he got rebooted, seriously, what could possibly go wrong?

>>390856
Nope. You get more Metal Gear. YOU LIKE METAL GEAR, RIGHT!? YOU FUCKING LOVE METAL GEAR! SNAKE IS THE BEST VIDEO GAME CHARACTER EVER, RIGHT!? YOU LOVE SNAKE!

>>388745
>the lost vikings
HOLY FUCK I LOVE YOU
I FORGOT ABOUT THAT GAME SINCE A LONG TIME AND I TRIED REMEMBERING BUT I COULDNT AND NOW I DO SO THANKS A LOT

Too bad Capcom would ruin a new Ghosts N Goblins if they attempted a new one. At least the last game was a true gem.

Most of those were intentional one-offs.

Pokemon Snap was not a new ip.

>>393220
STOP IT STOP IT! Stop being mean :(

>>388745
Chrono Cross was Chrono Trigger's sequel, but it wasn't any good apart from some cute girl characters and loads of characters. I like having buttloads of vanity choices for my team and being able to switch out depending on my mood.

Also, yes, Cross needs a sequel but a good one with Trigger's battle system and having more spells to choose from.

Breath of Fire 2 was freaking awesome, played 3 and it was okay, never tried 4.

>>393220

I played Ghouls N' Ghosts for Genesis, good times.

>>393285
A one off is still intellectual property you retard.

There were so many problems with this list that I decided to fix it myself

>>393363
>Leaving Bubsy on it
Bubsy was never good. It's average at best.

>>393331
But you don't say RIP to a movie or book that never got a sequel. In fact by and large it's the norm.

>>393375
It's a list for dead video game series. Bubsy is one of them, no matter its quality

>commander keen
>image is from the GBC game
>mfw

>>393369
Thats true. You are right. But they are still IPs. This thread should be about dead franchises.

>>393363
forgot a few

>>391778
This. Treasure rarely makes sequels. You have Sin and Punishment 2 and then Gunstar Super Heroes which feels more of an homage rather than a pure sequel to the original Gunstar Heroes. Treasure just doesn't do sequels.

>>389260
>grim fandango
Not everything should get a sequel.

>>393549
>last new Treasure IP was Stretch Panic (Freak Out)
>they've released nothing but ports, sequels, and licensed games since
>people still try to claim Treasure doesn't make sequels

>>388745
>Frogger
>dead
But Hyper Arcade Edition was released only last year...

>F-zero dead
I doubt it. They can always make one for the WiiU.

>Megaman X
Disapointing, but it was going downhill after X5.

>Paperboy

I miss these games.

Add Vectorman to the list.

>>393562
Agreed, this game is perfect as it is if anything it needs an HD remake and even then that's not completely true due to the art direction it had.

>Croc
>Bubsy
>Aero
>Ty
>Primal Rage
>Glover

Am I supposed to be sad these games are gone? They're no better than modern b-list games like the Tomb Raider reboot.

>>393285
>rampage
>a one off

Weren't there some Excitebike spin-offs on Wii? Does that count?

You forgot streets of rage. Never understood why Sega didn't release anything after SOR3. The SOR fanbase is still huge.

I missed River City Ransom.

Is Metroid dead after Other M?

>>394991
The baby lives on.

>>388745
Fuck this reminds me. I read one time about how this one guy bought an IP from one company right when it went under due to connections but I can't for the life of me remember what the company or property were. Thought it was really cool and I started looking up dead IPs and stuff.

>dead IPs
>Boy and his Blob

Got a new game on Wii.

>Excitebike

Got a remake on WiiWare.

>Banjoe Kazooie

Got a (crappy) remake on XBOX360.

>Burgertime

Got a sequel on WiiWare/EShop.

>Bubble Bobble

Is this list a troll list? There's multiple remakes/sequels of Bubble Bobble/Rainbow Islands/Bust-a-Move each console gen. There's been probably more Bubble Bobble games on the Wii/DS than any other gen.

>F-Zero

Just because there hasn't been a new game in about 5 years doesn't mean the franchise is dead. Plus, there was an F-Zero game in Nintendoland. And Cpt. Falcon appears in every Smash Bros. Claiming F-Zero is dead is like claiming Metroid or Warioland is dead.

>Drill Dozer

Sequel on WiiWare/EShop.

>Mischief Makers

One game does not constitute a IP/Series. I want a sequel to this too, but Treasure has only made a handful of sequels to any of their games. And none of their good ones.

Also, I'm not 100% positive, but I think there was a Paperboy sequel or remake on WiiWare as well.

>>393435
You forgot one, Congo's Caper is part of the Joe&Mac series

>>388778
Man i've been looking for the name of that game! Thank you anon. Was there any sequels then

>>391338
Revive the rocket knight? Whuuuut !?!?

>>391498

Wait, that shit hasn't been cancelled?

>>393285
>Calling retard saying one offs doesn't counts.
>Not marking Conker.

>>395752

5 Years?, i'd say like 8, with Nintendo it's enough to buried it (and SF is in danger). Don't call a minigame something to say it's alive, just don't.

>>391092

Too many games per year and some of those are irrelevant, it's just a third party not an exclusive one.

>>395752

>Drill Dozer
>Sequel on WiiWare/eShop

Don't LIE TO ME you piece of fuck

>>395752
>Sequel on WiiWare/EShop.
>One game does not constitute a IP/Series.
Don't open your mouth if you don't know anything

Remind me why Drill Dozer is on there twice.

OP, Milon's secret castle had a sequel on the SNES!

Do Re Mi something or other. There's a dejap rom. I definitely prefer the orignal though. The snes one reminds me too much of kirby.

>>388745
I don't consider an IP dead unless it had at least 1 or 2 other installments. Chrono Trigger/Cross doesn't really count, imo, so really shouldn't be on the list.

>People talking about Pokemon Snap
Pokemon isn't dead, so it also doesn't count, as much as I'd also love to have another Snap (and TCG) game. The game was cheesy, but at the time it was full of mystery, like figuring out how to get the best pictures or finding out how to get specific Pokemon to appear (or even evolve).

>>389720
Should have been in the top row.

>Metroid talk
I consider it dead, no 3DS game mentioned, nest we'll likely see of Samus is Smash.

>>391498
>The creator of the series abandoned ship
That happened with Street Fighter (multiple times,actually), but they managed to bring it back.

Yeah, I know there's been mumbling about Darkstalkers 4 but I'll believe it when I see it.

So I guess you don't count mobile games, because Tapper and Ty are both getting new games.

>>396121
Nah, a simple tipical sluggish platformer, the jetpack was just a gimmick.

>>400859
I don't, but that's because I feel that it doesn't fit the same 'category' as gaming as PC, handheld or console gaming does. It's weird.

>>396121
Just looks and plays wrong in every way.

I actually kind of enjoyed Glover. I don't know what it was about the game I liked at the time, though.

>>395752
>Treasure has only made a handful of sequels to any of their games. And none of their good ones.

OFFTOPIC:

I know its only a spiritual successor, and the RS2 in the beginning is good enough for me, but...

Ikaruga > Radiant Silvergun

>>393363
>>393435
How is For the Frog the Bell Tolls not dead? Did it get like a Japanese VC release or something? Cause even then its still pretty dead, plus there's a bunch of other things that get ported around too.

>>401507

It might be the speculation of Sakurai bringing back the IP through Kerfuffle

>>399290

>5 Years?, i'd say like 8, with Nintendo it's enough to buried it

Yeah, because Kid Icarus, Metroid, Advance Wars and many other series didn't come back after not getting a game for 8 years.

>>400853
Because they like Street Fighter. They don't like Megaman.

>>402946

Fair enough, but sadly it's not the trend with Nintendo even being unpredictable as they are.

I don't see Legend of Kage, Kabuki Quantum Fighter, Solace, Roller Games, Solar Jetman, or Trog.
