Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "Of all the long dormant game series in the world, I don’t think there’s one I miss more than the Viewtiful Joe franchise from Capcom and I really don’t think I’m alone in echoing that statement. The series hasn’t seen the light of day since the mid-2000’s and yet demand has never really wavered for a new game in the series and I think it’s time that Capcom answer their fans demands and bring back everyone’s favorite (you know it’s true) superhero."
Difficult games on the Gamecube? Who would have thought there would be any on this platform. Here are the most difficult Gamecube games ever.
As consoles go, the Gamecube is pretty underrated, so it stands to reason that a lot of its games are too.
Without doubt for me it would be Eternal Darkness, one of the best videogames ever made IMO.
Eternal darkness was phenomenal. I remember panicking when I got an error code pop up and then it looked like all my saves had wiped off my memory card. That game would play with your mind.
Yeah loved it to, getting it all and getting the purple rune was great never felt like a chore. The only other game that I really enjoyed as much was starfox adventures. Great game
Paper Mario Thousand Year Door is just incredible, I really hope Nintendo will do a remaster or remake of it.
Big fan of Gotcha Force. A true hidden gem that rarely gets mentioned. It played a lot like Federation Vs. Zeon which is one or my favorite PS2 games.
No Paper Mario, Geist, or Eternal Darkness is surprising. Games like Second Sight can at least be played on other platforms, but some of those games are exceedingly expensive (should you want to play them on original hardware). I've got a handful of them, but Gotcha Force will sadly never end up in my collection at $700 for a CIB copy.
HPP: We were blown away by your response to our piece on series in need of a revival. So here are ten more series we’d love to see given new life.
Article is on point having Dino Crisis and rival schools but i would add...
Parasite Eve
Strider
Devil Survivor
Onimusha
Siren
Fear effect
Megaman X
Jet Set Radio
And those are just the ones i can think of right now.
I remember being really hyped in highschool when they were talking about doing more JetSet; then nothing came of it and radio silence.
Still some of the best soundtracks in gaming.
Another Fear Effect would be awesome too. A very underrated game that not many talk about anymore.
Jet Set Radio was actually on the original list of 10.

A lot of the others were too recent to meet the date cut off I set, I was really looking for series that had been gone awhile.
Parasite Eve had The Third Birthday release 11 years ago.
The most recent Strider game was only 7 years ago.
Devil Survivor 2 was only 9 years ago.
Onimusha Soul released in 2012. I considered not counting mobile games but I was looking for series that publishers aren't even trying to get anything out of.
Siren is close but the last installment was 13 years ago. Honestly was never into the series though so likely wouldn't have made it regardless. Definitely know it has its fans though.
Fear Effect Sedna stunk but was a new game and was only 3 years ago.
Mega Man X I kind of counted as part of the larger Mega Man series, though even if I didn't the new mobile game would probably have kept it off the list.
Lots of great choices there though. I'd love to see a new installment of most of them.
For some reason I got Cold Fear and Fear Effect mixed up when I made my comment lol.
I'd like to see another Cold Fear. Even a remake would be great.
Xenosaga, Wild Arms, Legend of Dragoon, Chrono franchise with Cross and Trigger, Resistance, Xenogears, Twisted Metal, Silent Hill, Turok, Ar Tonelico, Ar Nosurge, Breath of Fire, Siren, Clock Tower, Kid Icarus, Splatterhouse, Enslaved Journey to the West I love that game such a sleeper hit it so needs a sequel.
My picks would be
- Soul Reaver
- Viewtiful Joe
- SSX
- Onimusha
- Capcom vs Snk 3
- Playstation Allstars Battle royal
Kudos for putting Tactics Ogre on the list. I have no idea why we aren't getting a new one, or Final Fantasy Tactics for that matter too.
There definitely needs to an HD remaster for the series
Incredible game. Would love a new one on consoles. Perfect Palico costume in MHW as well
Bring back Hulk Davidson
I can't express how much I want this!
It feels like a perfect match for the Switch.
Yes!
