hope so to, that or I hope I haven't jinxed it.

Of course you won't. You never have a history of jinxing somthing, right? Right?

Not to say Tomb Raider games aren't as bad now, but I think every three games they go through a reboot. Given the Survivor continuity had its three games means Tomb Raider maybe renewed sometime soon.

In the movie departement Lara Croft also has more movies than Sonic and Mario ... for now.

I still think it's kinda egotistical of Shadow, but whatever.

Suit to his image.

Keanu Reeves cast as Shadow the Hedgehog in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie

The news was a rumor earlier today, leaked from discussions held at last week’s Cinemacon, and has since been confirmed by Variety. Keanu Reeves was a long hoped for casting decision by fans, and despite rumors of Hayden Christensen getting the role, it has since been clarified that such casting was only considered AFTER a rumor emerged of Hayden landing the role and Paramount considered it once fan sites ran with the rumor. However, Keanu was the top of the list for Paramount and it seems ...

Back then when I make the list, I didn't include music albums unless they had some kind of games or mini games in it so probably I'm already missing much now.

The addition of grind shoes in Sonic Frontiers did at least confirm that Sonic Team is thinking that Dreamcast Sonic is still worthy to be given attention.
I hope they thought some ideas similar to yours.

hope so to, that or I hope I haven't jinxed it.

May be ... then SEGA would reign in the console instead.

Perhaps in a multi-platform sense.

It's a variant version. We don't have to buy both, only pick one of those two.

Ah I see. Seems a bit pointless, it's not Pokémon, but whatever.

I guess most of the ones who voted this grew up in 32-Bit era instead of 8-Bit and 16-Bit.

Perhaps. Not to say Tomb Raider games aren't as bad now, but I think every three games they go through a reboot. Given the Survivor continuity had its three games means Tomb Raider maybe renewed sometime soon.

A reboot with a more animated style?
I would definitely prefer that over 3D reboot.
May be something like the canceled Eartworm Jim 4.

Yeah, in style of EWJ4 is how I imagine it.

That's a nice story concept.
Kinda remind me of Opa-opa's story in Fantasy Zone II W.

Well, Fantasy Zone and Space Harrier take place in the same... I'm presuming an area of space. Putting the Valdi System in the Fantasy Zone could be a maybe.

But here's my "revised Ristar" story so far.

• The Valdi System consist of eight planets. (I'm not sure where Planet Terra or Timu fit into it, I don't remember these planets.) Each planet is inhabited by a unique dominant species, such as Planet Flora which is inhabited by goblin-like people.
• I've yet to decide the currency of the Valdi System, but I imagine something of the like of Tiffany Yellow Diamonds being the common coinage of sorts. (Though in a hypothetical remake of Ristar, I can't really imagine much use for currency, let alone a point-system.).
• At some point in history, the Valdi System had something a kin to "Star Warriors", an organization that consist of various mix of aliens that serve as galactic defenders of the Valdi System who fought against some great threat. While they have won the war, the numbers greatly dwindled.
• Alistar was the greatest of the Star Warriors, so great he won the favour of Oruto, the Star Goddess. Oruto fell in love with the mortal hero.
• After a time of peace, a new invader arrives to the Valdi System, a pirate named Kaiser Greedy who sought to establish a galactic empire. "Planet Greedy" being a ship of sort.
• What makes Kaiser Greedy so powerful, as well as his name sake, is that his planet/ship is powered by a black hole! Kaiser Greedy draws power from it, able to create and control "mini black holes" which he uses to attack.
• Kaiser Greedy has the unique power to create lifeforms from dark matter. He turns them into Black Orbs.
• Black Orbs are an extremely adaptive and transformative enemy. "Orblets" being somewhat of a protoform of black orb creatures, but when black ob creatures find themselves in an alien ecosystem, they quickly transform and adapt to their surroundings.
• Kaiser Greedy's henchmen are Inonis and Uranim. Inonis is scientist and engineer, able creating machines for Greedy, maintaining his armour and creating weapons powered by dark matter or monsters from black orb creatures. Uranim is the muscles, a cyborg created by Inonis and powered by a black orb creature.
• With Alistar, the last of the legendary heroes missing, Oruto awaken their son, Ristar, to find him and to save the Valdi System.

It could but pressing arrow buttons or clicking mouse aren't as fun as sliding your fingers for this type of these games.
At least that's what fans said when they play the games on bluestack.

Then just use the mouse then!

Yes, it does become cheaper to sell them as DLCs in Sonic Origins.



Just wishes it's not limited to Sonic games only but I guess that will cost more for licensing.

It's nice these games are still accessible though.
