GamesAsylum: "Many long forgotten IPs were launched on the original Xbox, back in the early days when Microsoft was trying to broaden the console’s appeal as wide as possible. They didn’t seem particularly bothered if they had a hit on their hands or not – in an attempt to steal some limelight from Sony and Nintendo, they were simply focused on getting new games on the shelves, and plenty of press coverage to accompany them."
Not every video game mascot can be a Mario or Sonic, and these guys definitely aren't either of them. They aren't even Gex.
It took us several platforming levels to go through in order to bring you this list featuring the best platformers on the original Xbox.
I may be one of the few who enjoyed blinx. I been saying this should return in modern form.
No need for an hd remaster if you have the disc put it in a xbox to play it in 4k. Or just purchase it from the store or play it thru gamepass.
In these days of remakes and remasters it is fucking criminal that the OG Xbox is the only way to play JSRF natively.
Microsoft has added touch control support for several Xbox Game Pass titles for Android and iOS including The Medium and Blinx: The Time Sweeper.
Blinx should be the Xbox One's mascot. It definitely had a good premise and the gameplay was pretty ahead of itself at the time.
If I was MS I would consider Blinx more of a mascot than Conker, since Conker still has old ties to Nintendo.
With Rare now at a loose end, MS could always give them Blinx to mess around with. It probably won't ever happen, but it's fun to fantasise about such things.
Brute Force seems like a game that was meant to be developed now when 4 player coop is all the rage now. I would love to see a reboot / re-imagining of that game.
Mechassault (not listed) would also top my list of bring it back games.
Blinks, Quantum RedShift and Fuzion Frenzy realistically seeing a return also Bloodwake.
MS has a quite a few old gems Phil needs to consider bring them back.
Kameo deserves another game too.
