I was poking around one of our game databases at work, looking to see if any random cool game had been added to the list to expect sometime down the line and I realized that our Japanese release list actually had a translated column! For months I just tried to find English words or have someone who knew Japanese tell me if the symbols meant a cool game...here a English list was just a column outside of my browser window. I can be pretty fucking dumb. ;P
What I found today nearly stopped my heart. One of the most beloved series of all-time is finally receiving some love in a new game, currently at some unknown stage of development. I have no idea if its a port of the original, a remake or a new entry in the series, I simply know its title, which cannot be mistaken for any other game or an original IP.
Literally, I'd lose my job in a heartbeat if I leaked the info - hell, I'm scared to even drop the system its coming out on. All I can say is whenever the developer drops the bomb, its going to be huge, gamers will rejoice and many may even shed tears of unexpected happiness. Literally, the gaming world may stop for a moment and all scream, 'YES!'
With that said, I pose the question to anyone who reads - if you could see one series revived from the grave, what would it be (if you want to throw out what system you'd like to see it for too, that'd be interested too)? I won't be able to confirm or deny what you post, but let's just say I wouldn't be surprised to see the series in these comments if we get enough.
God damn I hate knowing amazing things that I can't speak about. ;_;

I vote Shaq-fu
asian game?? um, the next smash bros game. you know, the one AFTER Brawl.
Sure, there was the GameBoy version, but I want a damn console sequel.
or maybe Gauntlet the next generation?
But really, what I very much want above most other game sequels that we don't see coming?
A new X-Com. I want to manage a team of nobody's into a team of fearless, alien hunting somebodies without ressurrecting my PS1. Dear goodness I'd love to hear about that game actually happening.
BEST AVATAR EVER! Anderson Silva won't ever lose his belt.
Chrono Break (FINALLY)
FF VI 2 - The Rise of Zombie Leo
Crystalis 2
Mother 3 in English
A Boy & his Blob 2
A true sequel to FFT that wasn't some storybook nonsense with judges and rabbit-women
A Vagrant Story sequel
A new, good Kirby game
PILOTWINGS WII
SUPER PUNCHOUT WII
Donkey Kong Country 4
Super Mario RPG 2
A new Bubble Bobble
A new Star Tropics game
I have to say though, Aerox has the right idea with that list and I'd personally like to see a Mega Man Legends 3 to go with all the Mega Man requests. You know what I'd really like to see though - a sequel to the fucking Goonies 2 NES game. I love that game but there is no way that'll ever, ever, EVER happen. ;P
Full Throttle
Star-Wars X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter
Star Fox for wii
Space Quest
Wing Commander
Grim Fandango

Shadow warrior (oh god yes rofl)
Blood (even better, only if it was more like the first one)
Crusader (no remorse ftfw)
Diablo III (lawlawlawlgiven)
No seriously, Earthworm Jim would be fucking great.
