As I'm sure, many of you have had game experiences coming up through the years that were memorable (some more than others). I'd like to gather the best of the best from those in this forum, which franchises you all feel are worthy of bringing into the next generation (and perhaps which ones should die a horribly painful death ... er ... I mean which ones "aren't suitable at this time").
The list should be either franchises that currently aren't publicly/widely known or franchises that were revived but are perhaps on the wrong path in your opinion and need some adjustments (please at least a short comment on what needs to be adjusted).
For me:
Killer Instinct 1
Need for Speed 1 (steered too far from the original realistic high-end car race feel)
Power Drift
Street Fighter II (hasn't taken advantage of the tech available which at the time was a great looking/playing game compared to others on the market)
E-SWAT
Punch-out (Wii!)
Altered Beast (wasn't done justice, still has potential)
Samari Showdown 1 (hasn't taken advantage of the tech available)
Shinobi (wasn't done justice- see ninja gaiden)
Diehard Trilogy (great on ps1)
Roadrash 2 (anyone remember the original mockup screens for this on 3do?)
Final Fight (wasn't done justice, still has potential)
Kid Kameleon
Golden Axe
Gameday (great mix of arcade and madden type sim)
Motortoon Grandprix II
Mariokart (the original still rules the roost far as gameplay is concerned but could use a tech overhaul)
There was another in the arcade that I can't recall the name of - it was a flying car shooter which was in a sit down cabinet in the shape of a car from tiato I believe. I think they made a port of it to psx. Great game world concept though with a heavy futuristic Anime influence.
I'm sure there's others I missed...

Great picks though.
