Dead video game series/franchises you refuse to let go

Sad really. Tron was a fucking great franchise, and I'm tired of Disney trying to throw it under the bus in favor of the stuff they own like Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Muppets, Simpsons or any Marvel property. Disney can play with toys, but they need to own up to the stuff they have made. Seriously, I want a third Tron movie right away.

True! Steven Lisberger's creation had many avenues to explore.

This has most certainly be mentioned before but F-Zero absolutely. Nintendo has dropped that bitch hard thanks to Mario Kart and even included Big Blue and Mute City just to kick us fans in the face.

I still pray for a new F-Zero or shit, just a remaster of all the games.

Mother series too. Nintendo hasn't even bothered to officially localize Mother 3 and because of that we'll never get a Mother 4. I still dream.

Darkstalkers, Rival Schools and Marvel VS Capcom. I still cry. Thanks, Capcom. Thanks, Disney.

With the way Okami ended, it's a crime against good tastes that we never got a sequel and Okamiden doesn't count.

Fatal Frame. It's a shame that Koei Tecmo couldn't keep it in their pants for the 5th game which is absolutely the worst of them. It'd be great if they took the series, handed it to a competent horror writer and let them go at it.

Virtua Fighter. Wtf, Sega. Stop shitting out Sonic and Yakuza for a second.

I want to be a cute hopping jiangshi pushing mahjong tiles around again. Aren't there any good modern knockoffs?

I pray for another Jak and Daxter one day.

Jak and Daxter got the best deal out of all the PS2 mascots IMO. Ratchet hasn't had a game that reached beyond mediocre for over a decade. Sly got a shitty sequel that ended with an awful cliffhanger, never to be resolved. Not to mention how retarded Naughty Dog has gotten nowadays. I think you should count your blessings and instead pray for J&D to stay dead for good.

It may still be active, shockingly, but to me it's long dead after 2010, and I refuse to let that go.

Vagrant Story remade with Final Fantasy XII's engine.
No Netflix Series, No Animes, No Movies, No Novelizations.

Just give me the game Square Enix. It was the last original idea you've ever had.

Squeenix is just being Squeenix. They know that they won't focus on better JRPGs that deserve another fair shake such as Chrono

Adding Breath of Fire III & IV to this list. Their artstyles would kill in today's market.

And Jet Set Radio. And a whole host of franchises that they sit on but do fuck all with.

It's a shame that we actually have to go trudging in the indie game market for unique-looking games.
