Bulk Slash is probably my favorite game on the Saturn and I would absolutely love a new one for any of the current consoles. I love being able to easily switch from ground to air combat instantly, and it had awesome bosses. If you own a Saturn and haven't tried it, I highly suggest you do.

That and ANY of the franchises that Sega just kind of abandoned. Shinobi, Vectorman, Jet Set Radio, Virtual On, Streets of Rage, etc. Anything but another Sonic.

Oh, and Road Rash. You can never go wrong with Road Rash.

Wouldn't mind seeing a remake of paperboy. Might make for some cool motion control fun too... like on the Wii you could control him with the nunchuck and throw a paper with the remote.

I want a Smash TV remake, played from the same top-down perspective, but more informed by the years of reality TV that followed the original Smash TV.

I'll reiterate a few and add my own. Games I would love to see get more entries:

Darkstalkers - and no, Morrigan showing up in various Vs games doesn't count.
Psychonauts - I know it's not that old, but this game is sinfully under-appreciated.
Luigi's Mansion - This was a great game, I've heard murmurs of another and I hope it happens.
Star Fox - Why didn't they just keep making these as rail shooters? Also, the remake doesn't count.
Chrono Trigger - Why did Square just let this die?
Earthbound/Mother - These would easily do well with another handheld installment.
Super Mario RPG - This is what Nintendo and Square should be collaborating on, not some sports game.
Gunstar Heroes - Seriously the best Run 'n Gun I've ever played that's not Metal Slug. Gunstar Super Heroes was just a let down.
Ghosts 'n Goblins - While there would definitely need to be changes to the game's mechanics, this series' charm is timeless. On that thought, I could also really go for another Demon's Crest.

* I agree. Maybe use the SSF4 engine, if not the MvC3 engine. Also, new characters. Like maybe a Freddy Krueger-like character?
* I started playing Psychonauts some time ago, though maybe they'll release an HD remake.
* This needs to be one of those GCN games that gets a Wii update
* They let it die because it's not Final Fantasy. Yeah, it sucks when our heroes act like the villains.
* I've only played Earthbound once and even I agree with you. I mean, it's like they don't care how much we want it. Like they, for some stupid reason, care more about across-the-board appeal over die-hard appeal.
* If they do a SMRPG sequel, they need to add Square Enix cameos, a la Kingdom Hearts.
* Yes
* Wasn't that what Maximo was?

Also, I may have mentioned this, but: CARMEN SANDIEGO FTW!

Treasure doesn't like making sequels. That's part of the reason the left Konami in the first place. Both the Gunstar and Guardian updates on GBA weren't as good as the originals.
