''Sometimes a game company will strike gold with a brand new franchise, taking the world of gaming by storm. Sometimes they’ll make a series of it, with new games being released regularly. But other times, a developer will make one or two successful games in a series, and then it’ll sit there stagnant for years and years, with no sequel in sight, despite fans clamoring for a new entry.''
“Why did Namco abandon one of their most promising new IPs of the late 90s/early 2000s?”
Because Klonoa on Wii flopped in sales which promptly killed the series. Namco was planning to remake Klonoa 2 on Wii, but the remake of the first game’s commercial failure discouraged them from continuing on with the series unfortunately.
Shame really it was a decent remake. If they had bothered to tell anyone they had done it though, it would have probably fared better.
This week, Jon takes a look at some games that deserve to be brought back from the past to be remastered.
EVO 2017 is happening this weekend, and while there will be some great familiar fighting games, there are some franchises that are sorely missing. WWG looks at some great fighters that need a sequel or remaster.
Ooh, Def Jam. We gave that some love in our wrestling piece. As long as it is NOT Icon.
Soul Calibur, main line snk fighters like fatal fury and art of fighting, matrimelee and rage of the dragons (a good double dragon fighter).
I could go on and on and on....
