BootHammer: "Gamers partaked in some of the most over the top action ever experienced in Viewtiful Joe. It was chaotic, challenging and most importantly an incredibly fun game. Players blazed their way through chaos in traditional 2D platform side-scrolling intermixed with 3D cel-shaded graphics. Imagine a exclusive remake for the Wii U. This could no doubt be a system seller if developed with the Gamepad in mind utilizing its unique features for a one of a kind gaming experience."
As consoles go, the Gamecube is pretty underrated, so it stands to reason that a lot of its games are too.
Without doubt for me it would be Eternal Darkness, one of the best videogames ever made IMO.
Eternal darkness was phenomenal. I remember panicking when I got an error code pop up and then it looked like all my saves had wiped off my memory card. That game would play with your mind.
Yeah loved it to, getting it all and getting the purple rune was great never felt like a chore. The only other game that I really enjoyed as much was starfox adventures. Great game
Paper Mario Thousand Year Door is just incredible, I really hope Nintendo will do a remaster or remake of it.
Big fan of Gotcha Force. A true hidden gem that rarely gets mentioned. It played a lot like Federation Vs. Zeon which is one or my favorite PS2 games.
No Paper Mario, Geist, or Eternal Darkness is surprising. Games like Second Sight can at least be played on other platforms, but some of those games are exceedingly expensive (should you want to play them on original hardware). I've got a handful of them, but Gotcha Force will sadly never end up in my collection at $700 for a CIB copy.
HPP: We were blown away by your response to our piece on series in need of a revival. So here are ten more series we’d love to see given new life.
Article is on point having Dino Crisis and rival schools but i would add...
Parasite Eve
Strider
Devil Survivor
Onimusha
Siren
Fear effect
Megaman X
Jet Set Radio
And those are just the ones i can think of right now.
I remember being really hyped in highschool when they were talking about doing more JetSet; then nothing came of it and radio silence.
Still some of the best soundtracks in gaming.
Another Fear Effect would be awesome too. A very underrated game that not many talk about anymore.
Jet Set Radio was actually on the original list of 10.

A lot of the others were too recent to meet the date cut off I set, I was really looking for series that had been gone awhile.
Parasite Eve had The Third Birthday release 11 years ago.
The most recent Strider game was only 7 years ago.
Devil Survivor 2 was only 9 years ago.
Onimusha Soul released in 2012. I considered not counting mobile games but I was looking for series that publishers aren't even trying to get anything out of.
Siren is close but the last installment was 13 years ago. Honestly was never into the series though so likely wouldn't have made it regardless. Definitely know it has its fans though.
Fear Effect Sedna stunk but was a new game and was only 3 years ago.
Mega Man X I kind of counted as part of the larger Mega Man series, though even if I didn't the new mobile game would probably have kept it off the list.
Lots of great choices there though. I'd love to see a new installment of most of them.
For some reason I got Cold Fear and Fear Effect mixed up when I made my comment lol.
I'd like to see another Cold Fear. Even a remake would be great.
Xenosaga, Wild Arms, Legend of Dragoon, Chrono franchise with Cross and Trigger, Resistance, Xenogears, Twisted Metal, Silent Hill, Turok, Ar Tonelico, Ar Nosurge, Breath of Fire, Siren, Clock Tower, Kid Icarus, Splatterhouse, Enslaved Journey to the West I love that game such a sleeper hit it so needs a sequel.
My picks would be
- Soul Reaver
- Viewtiful Joe
- SSX
- Onimusha
- Capcom vs Snk 3
- Playstation Allstars Battle royal
Kudos for putting Tactics Ogre on the list. I have no idea why we aren't getting a new one, or Final Fantasy Tactics for that matter too.
GameByte writes: "It’s time for a list of just a few GameCube classics that deserve a loving remaster or remake for the Switch this year."
Lol they chose Sonic Heroes over Prime or MGS Twin Snakes 🤦🏻♂️
If they do a remake or a reboot to the series, they need to bring it back to handhelds. The art Style will look great on the Vita and 3D on the 3DS will be amazing.
That is what I would call "Viewtiful Effects"
I dug Viewtiful Joe. Fun unique gameplay why great style. Ive been wondering why they haven't made a new one or at least do the remakes.
Clover Studios, dang I miss them.
so many awesome games get left in the shadows...sad :(
onimusha, eternal darkness, trapt, champions of norrath, shinobi, dark cloud.....and there are so many games that NEED to be reborn!
freaking psi ops!
kill switch
baten kaitos
second sight,
man ps2/xbox1/gamecube days were the shizzznite!
Viewtiful Joe.. so awesome... so underrated.
Id buy a new one in a heartbeat.
