Sorry SNES fans, but do you recall all of the great games that the Sega Genesis used to offer? A few come to mind, but one of my personal favorites was an old EA title called Road Rash. It was one of those games that two people could play together (while on the same screen..gasp!), and have one hell of a good time in the process.
Well it looks like we aren't any closer to seeing a new Road Rash game, but thanks to GameDaily's recent interview with EA's John Riccitiello, we at least can cry ourselves to sleep at night knowing that the game was not completely forgotten:
"We think about those franchises a lot. Road Rash is one that keeps coming up in brainstorming sessions. EA has created so many great titles, it's tough to keep up with them all. I wish we could make those games but the truth is that there are more good ideas in this industry than there are skilled, experienced people to turn them into games."
Hear that, Destructoid faithful? How about nudging those programmer friends of yours to infiltrate Electronic Arts -- and make this baby a reality. You have my vote. Now make it clap!

I barely played this game. I'd do a demo.
But jeez. I wrote a c-blog on how I need this game to be re-made. I even had ideas! EA! Feel free to take my ideas!
I missed that one. Linky?
[url=http://www.amazon.com/SLUS-00035-Road-Rash/dp/B000038ABQ]This is the Road Rash that I first played. Man, those were some great memories.
I Wouldn't mind a Mail-Order Monsters remake either.
though I must admit the concept (a good one i might add) is ripe for a next-gen reemergence
Look at the piece again, Dtoid Faithful..
Road Rash 2 is most certainly the best, prior to the graphics-redo for RR3.
omg. my childhood is all coming back to me. i remember each week when i would rent a game, i'd make sure Road Rash 2 was my backup if i was sick of all the other games.
Mortal Kombat and Road Rash. FUCKING FANTASTIC MEMORIES. dear god.
Superior version.
Me and a friend played 1-3 on the Mega Drive, and it was a hoot. What a laugh it was, jumping over or between cars, smacking other riders in the head with a club as you overtook... those were the days.
Oh, and if you are listening, EA, if you happen to do a new version of Road Rash II, give it an ending this time? It's not worth seeing one of the greatest games in the world crash right before your very eyes.
