Top 10 16-Bit SNES Franchises That Could Use a Retro Revival

Andrew N from Negative World writes: "And we’re back for round two! This time I will be focusing on franchises that never made it beyond the Super Nintendo. Whether they started on the NES / other platforms, or were brand spanking new IPs, they had their moment on the spotlight and were quickly retired.

I already gave context for these lists in my 8-bit NES franchises that could use a retro revival top ten, so I won’t rehash that all over again. The short version is that some franchises deserved a longer life than they received, and these are some of those franchises."

I personally think there's better on gamepass then what was listed. State of decay imo is better then anything listed. Recore seemed alright for what I played on there also.

Is Recore any better to play now?

Concertoine481d ago

Yeah, especially on One X or Series X. It kinda feels like a PS2 platformer, but in a good way. I liked it.

Odd that he specified 'Game Pass Ultimate' instead of just 'Game Pass' just so he could include a relatively weak choice comparably in 'Alice: Madness Returns' which is available with EA Play. SoD was a far better overlooked game to have listed.

Dont know why they keep listing ultimate. Gamepass is the better value....but the reason I think is that ultimate includes online gwg.

MadLad481d ago

I mean, as someone who games both on PC and Xbox, Ultimate makes a whole lot of sense. There's console exclusives and PC exclusives. And, at the end of the day, EA Play is still a perk of having Ultimate. When I open Gamepass, the EA Play catalogue is sitting right there for me. It's as much part of Gamepass as any other title I'm looking at, right?
