Obviously much of the genre has moved to handhelds, but will people be seeing any of these series return in current-gen console games?
Its creator eliminated components that were not essential to speed up its development, such as the Bluetooth of the controls.

As a kid i had some heart attacks playing this game. The soundtrack right on point with those close calls. I love this game.
Agreed. I still love it and play it often. Still sucks that Disney was like, nah... this game didn't do well, when it did well against other racers and reviewed well.
Split/Second was one of the game I enjoyed playing. In fact it's still the most popular video on my YouTube channel. It's a gameplay of Split/Second posted 15 years ago. This past month 25 people viewed it. Split/Second is a favourite amongst racing gamers worldwide.
This game was super awesome and hella fun playing split-screen with the homie. Trashing your friend’s car during split-screen competition using one of those QuickTime events was so funny haha
From the mid-1980s to the early part of the 2000s, light gun rail shooters were a staple in both arcade and home system gaming. Arguably, the genre started to really hit its stride in the mid-1990s. While games like Time Crisis, Virtual Cop, and House of the Dead, among others, dominated both the home system and arcade space, some one relegated to only home game systems. Today, we’ll be talking about a little-known cult game published by Sony called Project: Horned Owl. This game was developed by Alfa Systems, and all in all, this is a fun game.
on the ds/psp
Its a shame we can't see these awesome franchises make a return to the current gen. Personally, I blame it on the Japanese devs who'd rather take whats so good about JRPGs and try to "westernize" them in order to achieve better market impact rather than stepping it up and actually focusing on what made these games successful and loved in the first place.
The funny thing is that the Shin Megami Tensei games (Persona included) are much more well received than the 'westernized' games and you can't get more Japanese than them. Plus most of them still use the turn based combat system, which a lot of people think is dead.
i want some good jrpgs... they dont have to be 10/10 but at least make them a bit fun. Eternal sonata was good for example. and i dont need realistic graphics just make it magicaly fantastic. =D
Portables. They sell sh!tloads in japan, so it makes sense that jpn devs would concetrate on them.
