Video Game Characters you would like to see return to the Spotlight

What VideoGame Characters would you like to see back on a next-gen console? Handhelds and compiltions included.

Alex Kidd come on SEGA bring the "Guy" back in a all new GBA game or have a compiltion disk.

Bonk will we ever see you retun? I have my doubts but again I like to see a new Bonk game.

Kid Icarus There were so many rumors of a sequel and a SNES game that never panned out. Now's the time to bring this lost character back to a new audience.

Another Joe and Mac game hey I loved the first 2, great platforming fun.

Your picks?

Opa Opa and Ackman spring instantly to mind.

Call me weird, but I'd like to see Tempo return, along with Ristar, and maybe Chakan

1. Bionic Commando
2. River City Ransom
3. Y's
4. Destiny of an Emperor
5. Tengai Makyo

But I've gotta say, I'm pretty satisfied with the amount relaunches of older stuff already coming out.

I'm tired of old franchises being revived.

Give me new, original material, please.

I could go for a Phantasy Star side-story Action/RPG with Alis and Myau in it.

Oooh, I totally agree.

I want Mega Man 9, dammit. Another Gargoyle's Quest/Demon's Crest would be quite spiffy, too.

Linn Kurosawa in a Devil May Cry-like action title . . .

That would kick ass :)

Maybe AVP with DMC style :p

Go Go Ackman is a series of games based on a somewhat obscure (but still hilarious) Akira Toriyama manga. Baiscally, Ackman is a kid, roughly 10 years in age (in demon years) with a revolver and and a sword who kills people and puts their souls in a jar so he can sell them to Satan. The games have you fighting against the armies of heaven, killing little angels, and using their souls to buy needed items. The games are pretty blatantly Satanic, so it was obviously never localized. The series had 3 games on SNES, which were all very good action platformers, which had a nice story and branching paths (Go Go Ackman 3 in particular was excellent). There was also one on gameboy which was something of a Pacman variant, and pretty lame.

Oh, fuck yeah! A DMC-style AvP sequel would totally rock.

As for who I'd like back in the spotlight:

Alucard
Megaman (the original, not X or Battle Network or Zero...)
Kyle muthafuckin' Blackthorne
Cammy (green SSF2T outfit)
Ratchet (Thousand Arms- she amused me so much)
Ayame (Tenchu 1 version. It looks like I get my wish with T3)

I'd like to see the Zillion (SMS) Characters make a comeback. I sure wouldn't mind a real , make that good new Blaster Master game.

Despair called it -- Chakan. That one should be a no-brainer.

The Zombies At My Neighbors kids need to spring into action once more along with a new Bucky O'Hare adventure. The Bucky arcade game kicked ass!

Odd-Job. (Goldeneye, the one everyone hated because he was impossibly to kill [very short] so you yelled at whoever was Odd-Job)

DigDug

and although i wouldn't care to seem them in the "spotlight" again, i'd love to see the return of those Football player guys from Mario World.

Seven Force beat me to it. Sir Artur(and don't even give me that weak ass Maximo garbage)in a REAL GnG game.
Nigel from Landstalker
Alundra(again, don't give me that sorry ass sequel that didn't even have Alundra in it)
Alucard
Mike from Star Tropics
Simon Belmont-Why haven't we seen him star since the SNES?
The original Mega Man
Brownie and Ray from Contra
Donkey kong-Nintendo version not the tie wearing Rare crap
I'm sure there are more. I'll add more as I think of them.

Hehe... the Chargin' Chucks. Their baseball playin' cousins were in Yoshi's Island, that brought a smile to my face. :D

I agree with:
Chakan
Master Higgins
Original Mega Man

Capcom should bring back Tango... the only Mega Man robo-pet to star in only one game. :(
