    Where the hell are my

    BATTLETOADS?!!!?

    i was wondering why they never made new generation games of them. I had great fun and laughs with their games... any idea all of you?

    hanging out with my Faxanadus and Wizards&Warriors :(

    that said, if Jetpack got a remake treatment, the far-more-popular Battletoads should do. It might be a licensing issue, who knows.

    Killer Instinct should also make a come-back imo :)

    when i was about 12 years old,i had battletoads for my gameboy, got so frustrated with it i threw my gameboy against the wall and it smashed into pieces, the cart survived and i still have it (and the gameboy) until this day!

    but yeah, the battletoads games were cool, much better than bikermice from mars!

    Phalanx

    The game was pretty damn cool.

    Also Elevator Action. The sequal was pretty damn wicked (yay it comes out on the taito collection disc for ps2 this week).

    Yeah, no kidding.
    Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle was the first game I ever bought for my Sega Genesis back when the system launched here in later summer 1989. Many good memories there. Unfortunately, Alex Kidd really did vanish from the scene soon after.

    I know! Where is the toads! It's been too long! Someone asked Rare about putting it on XBL Arcade and they said no, as its too hard for people now or something. I'll have to find the interview.

    My current most-lamented "disappearing franchise" is Zone of the Enders.

    Where are my PS3 and PSP ZOE games?

    I LOVED both the PS2 titles. I never played Fist of Mars though.
