Came to post this.
Improve the maps and make chip grinding easier. My biggest issue with the games is that all post game stuff is gated by how many chips you have.

Super Mario
Metroid
Zelda
Street Fighter
Castlevania
Basically any series that reached their peak in 2D should return to 2D.

Obvious Answer: Classicvania.
Snowball's Chance: Actraiser
Wild Card: Power Blade.
Thank you.
Don't be so sure. The world needs another City Building Sidescroller.

As much as I LOVE both Mega Man and Castlevania I think another franchise deswrves the treatment since we got Mighty No 9 and we are getting the Igavania KS game.
I vote for classic F Zero...never gonna happen...

Classicvania OR metroidvania
I love both
Frankly just resurrect Castlevania, Konami. And not that LoS shit.

Super mario world.
As a kid i used to watch my brother and cousings play that game for hours straight and i would imagine myself in that awesome and colorful world(they never allowed me to play because i was awful and died too much so all i had was my imagination), i don't think another mario game was ever that beautiful... the NES couldn't render a mario game with that many colors because it wasn't powerful, 3D marios just lack all the charm about the franchise for me, and while it was another very pretty game, yoshi's island graphics were too fancy to me, i loved that colorful pallete and well drawn pixel art from World, and i think it's a shame that was the only game in the franchise that used those assets, it's a crime, really. Even the pallet swaped version of the game looks good
Yeah, some other franchises probably need that more than mario :/ but a girl can dream

Castlevania, Metroid, Streets of Rage
I wouldn't mind a new Final Fantasy that was a SNES throwback either.

Yeah, eh? Inticreates wrote the darn book on how to make a modern sequel in classic style with MM9 and 10. And they continue to show their skills with Blaster Master Zero!

I would say Fallout, but given the fan community I'm afraid 'mania' might be a little too on the nose. So instead I'll echo the call for another 3DO-style Road Rash. Only well-adjusted people like Road Rash.

Bingo. SoRR is basically to SoR what Mania is to Sonic -- just better.
I said Thief because 1) Square Enix doesn't know what to do with the franchise right now and 2) It has a fairly robust modding community. Pay some of those guys to rustle up some fan levels and sell them with remixes of Thief and Thief II levels. Sell it to the audience that's been buying Nightdive games.
Castlevania is a good choice too since there are a ton of modders and ROM hackers willing to step up for that.
Does Fallout have that much of a modding community in terms of quests and such? I know there are a few really ambitious projects to create whole new maps for New Vegas.
Actually you could say the same for Elder Scrolls. There are people making whole new games out of Skyrim mods. If Bethesda actually sold some of that to the mainstream Skyrim audience those modders could make serious bank.

It's not 2D but I bet those basic 3D graphics of the originals are even cheaper to make today than pixel art.

This guy gets it.
Could have a legit chance depending on how the audience reacts to SF2 in the Snes mini.
Then again, Sonic Mania was a "return to the glory days of sonic", and if anything is the glory days of SF, it's 64.
Right now? Megaman.

Sure does, especially since Black Isle released the editors. I haven't played many of the new campaigns because me and the community are coming from different places in our appreciation for Fallout. I think most of them were in the Serbian militia?
I do say it needs to get out of mobile tower defense hell.
how sonic mania came about was a pretty lightning in a bottle moment for the games industry
1) the sonic fangamer not only making a better game, but writing his own engine for the purpose of porting old games
2) the company in question stepping back and letting a team of fangamers make a game
3) said company not just making it a throw away thing, but putting their full funding/trust/promotion behind the game
4) the developers having a complete understanding of what the appeal of the product was & how to build, capitalise and innovate off that appeal
5) game not being fucked up/with in any way during development phase, leading to relatively smooth sailing for the developers
6) No mod/fan gamer community drama arose around the game (Why did he get chosen and not me? Why did my game get a C&D while her's became official? Developer/Artist/Voice Actor X is a milkshake duck, denounce them! Fangame Y killed game Z which was already in development ect)
like can you really imagine any other major game company being able to keep such a hands off approach as sega did?
