Top 10 Classic Midway Arcade games that need sequels now

Spoiler: #2

Rampage: Another online party game where you log into a server, pick your kaiju, and compete against your friends to see who can wreck more of the city. That's the easy way to do a modern Rampage. Do some new monsters based on other actual monster movie tropes (and not just big animals like the other sequals tried to do), come up with some cool mutation based power-ups, regularly supply the player-base with new characters and maps, and boom. You've revived Rampage.

With Gamera making a glorious return next year given this kaiju resurgence and comeback. I think this is most guaranteed at some point. Give it time.

In terms of media as a whole though what about Gamera: Rebirth? Assuming you have NetFlix that is.

Which if you do, you should definitely check out Troll. It's basically a modern remake to the 1954 film with elements of the 1998 film but set in Norway and with a troll.

Don't have Netflix but might get it very soon.

Nice, be sure to check out Troll then.

Finished rematching the gym leaders

My biggest takeaway from all this is that my team is severely overleveled and that I'm gonna have to find a new team for whenever the DLC rolls around

 

[Wario Bros.]

I'm curious to know how Mario is considered to be a threat to Bowser's plan to take over the world in the movie, considering this will be the first time the two crossed paths.

Considering his plan seems to involve collecting stars, maybe he got concerned when he heard about some guy calling himself the "Star Lord".

 

[Hadokeyblade]

I finished the main story of Scarlet!
Now i'm off tocatch all the new Pokemon so i can fill out my living dex when Hom compatability drops.

The first thing i find when i go off to do that? A shiny Lechonk.

Top 10 Classic Midway Arcade games that need sequels now

Spoiler: #10

Smash TV/Robotron: 2084: Who doesn't love a good twin stick shooter? If you just raised you're hand, then the contestants of Smash TV would like to have a word with you. Both of these games were designed to have the player rack up incredibly high kill counts in very simple ways, moving around a single screen and shooting. Smash TV was really just a re-imagining of Robotron anyway. So they share a spot on the list, even though I'd like to see both games get brought back for the modern era. One particular idea for Smash TV would be for players to be competing against each other to kill enemies. Where you get points and win the match based on your enemy kill count, rather then the amount of other players you've killed, but you can and should still **** with your other contestants to help score the win. Help it transition to the online multiplayer age a bit more. Maybe there are special power-ups that only hurt other players Mario Kart style? Then for Robotron, just giving the titular hero more weapons and abilities to play around with as he saves his family from the robot apocalypse is plenty. Smash TV is about online competition, Robotron is about a solo experience. That's how I see it anyway.

Spoiler: #9

Klax: Klax is just a really fun puzzle game that i want on modern platforms and removed from the stranglehold of the arcade quarter-gobbling formula. It's like trying to explain why Tetris should come to modern systems. It just should.

Spoiler: #8

Primal Rage: A really solid fighting game with a really cool prehistoric life/new-old gods motif that's just begging for a reboot. I can only imagine what NRS could do with these characters and this setting. What other cool giant dinosaurs and other prehistoric life they'll let us battle as. With the right marketing and care this could be another solid franchise for them to give them breaks from MK and Injustice.

Spoiler: #7

Tapper: A modern game where you run a bar sounds perfect. It sounds like the perfect little low-budget indie project you'd see pushed during an Indies Showcase or something like that. The bartender has a sad backstory, you get to know and socialize with the memorable patrons, you make money to upgrade your facilities, and obviously you sell drinks. The perfect little experience. Then you find out that this is a Tapper game and your mind starts doing little somersaults trying to understand how this happened. But it's great so you keep playing anyway. This is the perfect storm. IMO.

Spoiler: #6

Paperboy: This is another one that just works. You are the Paperboy, let's say in an 80's period setting to make it cool. You need to make money to support yourself week to week doing your paper routes in the city as well as various other odd jobs you can pick up, if your schedule allows it. You fight off CPS to keep from getting into the system, the city is big and open with lots of places to explore for all you people who like that, you have a Persona style calendar system to manage, badda bing, badda boom, 10/10.

Spoiler: #5

Gauntlet: Number 5 because Gauntlet actually got a sequel relatively recently and it's pretty good. Highly recommend. I just hope it's not a one-night stand because the formula it sets up is a good one. All it really needs is more enemy types, more and more frequent bosses, more location variety, and more classes like the ones from the various past Gauntlet followups (The Third Encounter, The Final Quest, and Dark Legacy).

Spoiler: #4

Joust: While I see a new Joust still having a PvE mode for the sake of tradition, I see this game's modern equivalent having it's primary draw being online party multiplayer akin to games like Fall Guys. Just hopping on a server and jousting a bunch of your friends. Maybe include an Ostrich breeding system to get birds with better stats? Give players the option to joust on Buzzards or even the infamous Pterodactyls if they so choose, along with the Pegasus from Joust 2, all with different stats and abilities. And obviously cosmetic armor for your knight and your mount.

Spoiler: #3

Spy Hunter: Another game that would work with an open world formula somewhat. The car combat would obviously be a must to keep, but you definitely need to give players the option of either being stealthy or being loud. And give them adequate tools both on foot and in the Interceptor to do both. And keeping true to the character's codename, he should be an agent who hunts down other spies. Either enemy agents or rogue agents. So your primary targets you're hunting down on each mission isn't just some schmuck in plain sight. You'd have to do some good honest spy/detective work to even find them. Package it in with a cool Bond style story that you can get sucked into and bingo. Spy Hunter.

Spoiler: #2

Rampage: Another online party game where you log into a server, pick your kaiju, and compete against your friends to see who can wreck more of the city. That's the easy way to do a modern Rampage. Do some new monsters based on other actual monster movie tropes (and not just big animals like the other sequals tried to do), come up with some cool mutation based power-ups, regularly supply the player-base with new characters and maps, and boom. You've revived Rampage.

Spoiler: Honorable Mentions

Toobin': An inner-tube racing game down a river is fun and like with Rampage and Joust promises that fun online party game fun that is so popular nowadays.

Rampart: A prototype RTS where you play a puzzle game to build you castle walls and then defend your castle from attacking ships with cannons. This is such a novel idea and I would love to see it come back.

Xybots: A really novel 3rd person shooter in a time before camera control or 3D graphics. I would love to see it come back, but modernizing it would make it loose it's charm.

Super Sprint: The novelty of a top down racing game that's actually designed with controllers in mind is appealing.

CarnEvil: They're finally inventing light guns that work on modern TVs. Use that tech and bring this classic to modern platforms.

Spoiler: and #1

Defender: Picture this. You are a lone hero inn his one man ship. You're only mission, travel the galaxy responding to distress calls and repelling hostile alien invasions when the galactic government will not. You are, THE DEFENDER. I imagine it being a large open galaxy similar to No Mans Sky, where you have to actively travel from planet to planet, using Stargates to hopefully cut down on travel time, and save whoever is calling for help before they are destroyed in real time. Obviously the main threat would be the Manti-Landers. But other space age Midway villains could also be threats as well from time to time. The Xenos from Xenophobe, The Sinistar from Sinistar, Mukor from Blasteroids, maybe even the Xybots... It has so much potential, and so much legacy, that obviously it tops the list.

So I have a question since this is something I've been struggling with lately.

How do you guys build your Pokemon teams? I usually pick six Pokemon I like with balanced types but I try to have an even number of physical and special attackers, and at least one fast Pokemon. But I'm starting to question if this setup is even necessary

I try to balance the types for coverage and this and that, but I'm not opposed to doubling up on types if I just really like the Pokémon in question.

I'm curious to know how Mario is considered to be a threat to Bowser's plan to take over the world in the movie, considering this will be the first time the two crossed paths.

Remember how in Yoshi's Island, Kamek somehow knew Mario was going to be a threat to Bowser one day?

...And say, wasn't (baby) Luigi also damsled in that game?

Scarlet and violet basically writes the next Mystery Dungeon Game.

After beating that story I had some ideas I think would be fun to see:

Title: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Paradox Peril

The main idea being that the world is under a mysterious set of threats that have been popping up and causing havoc in areas around the world( or whatever continent this game takes place on)

The Ultra Beasts and Paradox forms are invading from other worlds. Causing the universe to act differently almost like it’s glitching out.

As everything collapses around you, your partner and you set out to restore order.

Eventually you find out that:

Spoiler: Scarlet and Violet Post Game

The Third Crystal legend and Eternatus have bought these threats in from other worlds, using their presumed universe warping and destroying powers.

Why Eternatus? Well playing through that post game, when I saw the time machine, it immediately reminded me of Eternatus. The way it moves, looks and operates is just like the V Max form.

on top of the fact eternatus has all those crystals and is a living energy reactor. I feel like the throw away line that Penny was sent to her home country of Galar could be a big connection paid off down the road.

I think it’s possible eternatus is connected to the third legendary in Scarlwt and Violet.

So keeping in line with the last few games final bosses, perhaps these two fuse into something that isn’t even really a Pokémon anymore, like the bitter cold.

The final confrontation would be seeking Arceus out to fix these paradoxes. However it’s revealed that you yourself are a paradox for being a human in this world. Arceus finding a way to restore balance to the universe because they don’t want someone whose done all that good to be erased from reality.

Anyone that was a long post, but I had fun writing it. There’s so much potential with a new mystery dungeon right now, and I hope we get one announced in February.

Maybe it's just me reaching but I feel like Sonic Frontier's end is a huge Persona 3 reference, which was in turn a huge Evangelion reference.

Well...

According to Kishimoto, the true/physical appearance of the final boss hasn’t been revealed because it depends on how each one perceives what death would look like. Sonic, Sage, and we see different things.#ソニゲマ #SonicFrontiers

The first one. Not End of Eva or the Rebuild series.

I'm pretty sure The End is based off of the Black Moon from Eva. Either that or Unicron.

I do that sometimes as well. In my latest team I've had two Ghost types (though their primary types are different)
