Top 10 8-Bit NES Franchises That Could Use a Retro Revival

Andrew N from Negative World writes: "Retro revivals are all of the rage nowadays, and they come in many varieties, from ports / remakes with upgraded visuals (DuckTales Remastered), to new games that are trying to look, sound, and feel almost exactly like the original games (Mega Man 9), to new games that look, sounds, and feel almost nothing like the original games (Kid Icarus: Uprising.)

I’ve always found it a bit interesting that some franchises, even ones that were at the top of the industry for a time, just straight up roll over and die. I know that there are often complicated reasons for this, including licensing issues and changing tastes in the market. However, we’re at a period now where, due in large part to the advent of digital downloads on consoles, franchises that might have been riskier in the past seem like fair game again. So this is a list of NES franchises that, in my opinion, died off way too soon, and are primed for a return."
