I miss Crash Bandicoot. Why did Naughty Dog have to drop him?

Crash Team Racing was by far the best racing game on the Playstation.

I had 3 of the 4 good Crash games. The only one I never got was the third one.

If you want Sonic classic games go buy Sonic Mega collection for PS2 or GC to play on your Wii. I too bought the 1st one then once I saw a copy of the Mega collection all 7 of the Gensis Sonic titles and extras for 12 bucks at Gamestop used I snatched it up.
The newer games are decent, not the level they use to be but SEGA doesn't have loads of cash to toss around anymore eaither. Still better then alot of the 3rd party we see today.

i heard when konami first made castlevania for nes they took a chance, but hey the belmont clan became very popular, also heard the legend of zelda for nes nintendo took a chance to combine a Adventure gamme with a RPG game but that made the best hyrulen hero: Link. Did nintendo ever say what Link & Princess Zelda last names are? or Gannon's?..i'm just curious.
or what name is Zant, sounds like some idoit or some hanz solo wannabe.

Final Fantasy was the ultimate taking of chances. Do you know why Square Enix gave Final Fantasy it's name? It was supposed to be the final game before they went bankrupt.

I think Nintendo is doing a great job cycling characters they know there doing. I also think it wouldn't hurt if they introduced some new characters.

God, what is with this guy and cucumbers? I swear thats all he talks about, cucumbers this and cucumbers that! I don't get what his deal is!
No, the formula works and adding another variable will mess everything and we will all have to go back to math class to figure it out and you know nobody wants that. (F*CK YOU ALGEBRA II)

Don't forget Big N pushes out new series as well. It might not be as -big- as the veteran series, but it's refreshing ie. in the GC era there was Pikmin and Animal Crossing.
I don't think there will be ever a "enough" as the games that gets revived are great games. If people buy, they will make. FF is up to its XIII installation because people just love them. Not many will want SE to drop FF already! Though true each game is pretty much unique they are all based upon a RPG system with good FMVs. Like SE, Big N pleases fans of its series, if they drop it, it sorta feels like your favorite band decides to quit making music : /

I think the remaking, or reusing characters for newer games is good, but characters and games DO eventually die, sadly. That is why Nintendo needs to make a new line or two that does the same thing as Mario and Link, in being really successful, before they lose reputation. Which is bad.
Any Ideas???
And I think Sega sucks, BTW.
Saaaaagaaaaa....

Only Ganondorf (Dragmire) has a solid history, Ganondorf was the only child born in a century in Gerudo Desert and he soon became the leader of a group of thieves. Hence the nickname: The King of Thieves. Ganondorf then meets with the king of Hyrule only to get closer to the secret of the Triforce of Power. He then finds out Zelda knows something and so he chasing her. There is more but it is easier to find it out then what I told u

Whats your take on this?

If you want nintendo to bring out new games then you should buy them. Donkey kong 2d adventure with the bongs did terrible, Luigi's mansion didn't do so well either. Did you buy battalion wars, excite truck? Nintendo makes games for these mascots because they are trying to push systems. It would be like a NBA or NFL team making a new mascot every year or every game.
That would be marketing suicide. Also too these games keep getting made because they work.These game are they type that people want to keep playing. I have many 2d games on this list and mario is one of them. Just look at the sales of new super mario brothers.
As a hardware manufacture they will always try and get as many people to play as possible. This is actually why the industry is growing. This is also good for gaming. Why should nintendo make some new IP's, wait every sequel is like a new IP. You still have fans wanted a sequel to mario 3 and some one a sequel to mario world yet the new comers want a sequel to mario 64 and then when you look at mario galaxy it is almost totally different and mario like at the same time. No other company does this and so consistently with in their range of games.
If you really want different games then you better speak with your money. Tons of different games on the VC, are you buying them? Oh wait they are old but so is the idea of money but it's still used? Please man fun is fun and games are games. You may see nintendo characters in these games but really if you look at the game under neath it's some times drastically different. You have to realize they have been doing this since the game and watch. Boot up your copy of smash brother and go to the history page. Look at all of the DIFERrent games they had that you did not even know about. Then realize they have to support the system and can not experiment as much as others.
If you are asking for more hardcore games then you will get them but only when nintendo thinks these games are ready because the so call hardcore are retarded-ly hard on these guys. Then again when was the last time hardcore players step up to a system because of new games? The dreamcast died even though it was the first to have soul cal and other sweet games. The hardcore gamers these days are really just an influx of PC gamers that only play a certain type of game just like those casual gamers that only play bejeweled but they play it all the time! I think nintendo realizes this. I do and i'm a life time gamer of many platforms. A better word would be the tech-core for these new kind of hardcore gamers.
Plus too nintendo is best at doing what they do best make games from their top creative idea men. I really can not see the big M wanting to make a halo or quake it's just not him. He doesn't care about cool yet knows what fun is and cool is so subjective these days.
Nintendo will alway try new thing and the Wii is exactly what nintendo is in a nut shell. they take old or normal thing and make them fun again. They could have call mario galaxy "astral's galaxy" and changed all the mario refs to new characters, they could have taken zelda and called it the lone wolf or some thing and both of these games would have been great yet they would have sold like other great games that where not sequels like zaki and wiki etc.
The thing that bothers me is you are a gamer and yes you may get tired of sequels but why complain when their are new types of games out there? Then on top of that the game that nintendo's is making sequels that are not even like the original game? These guys are re inventors. Thats what industrial design majors do! You seem to be complaining about some thing hidden here. Are you merely baiting others to join you in complaining? This would be call flame beat on other forums.
