Game companies make sequels to crappy games all of the time. There are so many awesome games that have been forgotten. They need to make sequels to some of these. I have a separate bank account to just save money to buy video games of old series that I think should get sequels. DON'T MAKE ME WASTE ALL OF MY MONEY GAME DESIGNERS! Here are classic video games that deserve a modern sequel.
Duck Hunt
Duck Hunt created the entire genre of shooting games and then disappeared. There is so much more to the story that has been left untold. Why are the ducks flying around waiting to be shot? Why won't that stupid dog stop laughing at me? Maybe I didn't shoot the ducks because I have compassion you dumb dog!
Skitchin'
Skitchin' might be the only video game ever created that your parents should be upset about. It's a racing game from the creators of Road Rash where you race on a freeway and grab on the back of cars to gain momentum. It's probably a good thing that this fun ass game didn't get super popular or we'd have to deal with the 24 hour news cycle warning us about the dangers of Skitchin' as if anyone would actually be dumb enough to try it. Okay. One person would probably be dumb enough to try it, but that's just Darwin at work.
River City Ransom
River City Ransom was the first time I ever played an action RPG. Before I played this game, I always thought of RPGs as being turn based. Then I realized that it totally would be cool to get to upgrade your dude in a side scroller. It's sort of shocking that this has never had a sequel ever. Hopefully Rockstar will take over the license and blow our minds with awesomeness.
Pong
Without Pong we wouldn't really have video games. Pong should take place in some kind of Mad Max Thunderdome where the loser of every match gets sentenced to death. At the very least we should get some sort of Pong mini game in the next Fallout.
Star Fox
Every Star Fox game has ruled. Why has there not been a current generation Star Fox game? Is Nintendo ashamed of the series because it encourages furries? I think it's worth a few gross people dressed like animals doing each other to get the opportunity to play as the greatest animal pilots in the galaxy.
Chrono Trigger
This game had the dream team of the creator of Final Fantasy, the creator of Dragon Quest, and the creator of Dragonball as the creators of Chrono Trigger. If they could get these three together again to make a new game in the Chrono Trigger series then fan boy heads would explode just at the announcement. Plus it'd probably be a sweet game for the rest of us with unexploded heads.
ToeJam and Earl
This game was an insane sleeper success. It did really poor numbers when it first came out, but eventually ToeJam and Earl became unofficial mascots of SEGA because this game was so loved by fans. The sequel was sort of lame. I think they should get the original team together to keep the humor intact and then give it a totally awesome modern update. Preferably one that doesn't involve any sort of Panic on anywhere called Funkotron.
Ducktales
Ducktales was one of the most beloved games on the NES. The gameplay is like if Mario and Megaman were more greedy. You go from level to level collecting diamonds and treasure. I mostly want this to get a modern sequel so that they have a mini game where you get to swim through piles of gold coins. I'd finally get to feel what it was like to be successful.

Earthworm Jim
Earthworm Jim was the first game I ever played that actually made me laugh out loud. It's rare when a current generation game actually tickles my funny bone. There is a huge audience for another Earthworm Jim game. They just need to make it. I would buy it and pretty much everyone I know would buy it too. That's at least three people right there. MAKE THIS GAME!
Mutant League Football
The only thing better than playing sports games is playing sports games that feature mutants killing each other. Mutant League tried to expand the brand in to hockey, but it just didn't catch on. Madden has such a hold on the sports licenses that people are dying to have a really fun alternative. This alternative lets you throw dynamite at the half time show. It's the other white meat of football games.
