Is it the year of the fucking comeback? Why are developers dredging up relics like Splatterhouse, Bionic Commando, Golden Axe, and now Earthworm Jim? Even Street Fighter IV, for which I'm keeping my expectations as low as possible, is a sequel to SFII (released in 1991). Hell, SFIII was first released over 10 years ago. Nostalgia is poor motivation; I'm still scraping the back of my eyeballs for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Crystal Skull residue. And nostalgia certainly isn't a suitable replacement for innovation or creativity. I hope these games, for the sake of the series whose namesake they bear, turn out good enough to at least relaunch them for a new generation. I'd be more than happy to play the tried and true originals on virtual console or a pc emulator.
