Video game series that should return
There are a certain aspect of game series that were once well and most of them are not remembered. So what game series you think should return? I got the idea of this after hearing about the new kirby game.

...or does one game not count as a series?
*Leisure Suit Larry
*Space Quest
Doom.
Full Throttle
The Neverhood
No One Lives Forever
Ultima, The Bard's Tale, Bone, Broken Sword (but only if it's really good again), Jumpman, ELITE, Dungeon Keeper, Archon, Paradroid, Chip's Challenge and just one good shooter again (Vanguard, Xevious, Hybris, Silkworm, Battle Squadron, ...). Sad times when people don't write shooters anymore.
Hell Yes!
That was such an.... intersting series... but yes! and a new cartoon series too!
I'd like to see a reboot of Quest for Glory (by far my favorite Sierra games) maybe just not let the hero become king so... many... times...
EARTHBOUND - there was a sequel planned ages ago (EARTHBOUND64) but it got scrapped T_T
BLINX - Mixed bag, some hated it, some loved it (any game where I can mess with the laws of Time/Space is awesome in my book)
Conker - Hard drinking british squirrel, what's not to love!
plenty more I cant think of right now...
That actually did come out. For the GBA, mind you but it's out there. Get an Advanced emulator and look up translations of Mother 3
P-P-P-P-Poker Night P-P-Poker Night (muh muh muh muh)
And lo! Finally!
NEVER reference that song again.
but its an awesome song.

Meh, I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot more.
Maybe a new Commander Keen? Or a bomberman with a good 'campain' mode.
The sequel is actually in production/development as we speak... err, type. It's being worked on by a small team in order to 'preserve it's soul' - which I think is a very good thing. Michael Ancel is still the head of production and the game will be once again published by Ubisoft. There's no release date yet, as it's nowhere near completion. Ubisoft's boss Yves Guillemot asked fans to 'be patient', but said that the team are aiming for perfection. (Consult Wikipedia for any further info). I just though I'd let you know, in case you weren't aware.
So, 'Beyond Good & Evil' is really more a series that will return, rather than one that should continue
Well, Funcom and Ragnar Tørnquist are actually working on an episodic sequel called 'Dreamfall Chapters'. So, this is another series that is returning... eventually.
The newest Land game was Shake it.
Nuts and bolts barely counts.
Mother 3 maybe was the end, I don't know
Super Mario RPG's sequel was Paper Mario
Donkey Kong Country Returns is in development
Carmageddon
Leasure Suit Larry
Space Quest
Dungeon Keeper
Abe's Oddysee
Maniac Mansion
MDK
Cadillacs & Dinosaurs
Blood Omen/Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver...
Yes, Yes, and Yes. I loved those games and it makes me sad to think we may never see Kyle again.
I would also like to add the KOTOR series to the list for very much the same reasons (even if the second one was cut short a little bit--still good though
Doom they're talking of making a 4, last I heard. Microsoft doesn't like Conker. After CBFD they wrote a script fo a sequel, then they were sold. MS then said "No" to the sequel (which Nintendo said "yes" to before they were sold) and demanded a remake. The remake tanked due to being more censored, and from what I hear, worse then the original. Then MS said no more to the series. There was a new one either made recently or about to come out in a year or so. It's mostly a PSP series now.
@Spadge
They're remaking strangler's wrath and munch for PC, and Strangler's Wrath is getting a PS3 port. Then they said they're also in talks for expanding on the series, especially if those sell well.
Ones that are already released don't count. When I listed series that should continue I meant with completely NEW sequels.
And as far as the SMRPG to PM thing, I want a sequel to SMRPG that is 3D.
Oh, and I also forgot Police Quest.
Yeah! Mickey's Universe of Illusion or something like that would be ace.
http://www.destructoid.com/tennapel-earthworm-jim-4-not-in-development-172521.phtml The sequel for bad fur day was called "Other bad fur day". It had Conker as an unsuccessful king, and he spends all of his money on partying. And he then tries to escape from the castle walls. I made an online petition to get the development of the game back on the tracks. But when I send the certain amount of signatures to Microsoft. They rejected it. So in order for us to get a new Conker game, Rare has to be back at Nintendo.
Actually I heard it was Conker goes western.
Also I want more Banjo Kazooie, perferably with their old platforming abilitys back. And just for laughs, you can use vehicles, but they are completly OPTIONAL!
Space Quest
Ogre Battle/Tactics Ogre
MechWarrior/MechCommander/NOT MECHASSAULT
Ultima
Star Control
Earthbound
Edit: Oh, and a Shining Force game that actually resembles the original series.
Edit Part Deux: More Beavis and Butthead adventure games!
Meh, I figured not much wwas going on. Interplayis probabally too focused on Fallout MMO rather then EJ4. But with the new HD remake selling well I'm sure Interplay's even more looking for 4, and/or remakes of the other two then 4.
And ever since Rare went with MS their games have saddly been lacking. they should go back to Nintendo.
Blood
The Neverhood
Carmageddon
Rocket Jockey
The Incredible Machine
(I'm in a 90s PC mood... :P)
EDIT: I see someone posted MDK and Carmageddon already... my point still stands.
Oh god I want this so bad.
