There are a couple threads that discuss the resurrection of Earthworm Jim and Splatterhouse. A popular gaming magazine ran a cover story about old game franchises making their comeback. There are more than a few great games and game franchises that are still on the shelf, though, and I think a few of them could actually be done justice in the current gen of games. What games do you wish would be dusted off and given new life?

My short list:
Punch-Out!
Smash TV
River City Ransom

Road Rash. It's one of the coolest franchises ever, but they recently canceled the latest sequel.

Contra 4 on the DS is spectacular and hard as shit. Get it.

Contra 4 was all sorts of awesome. Still hard as fuck, but awesome. Plus it's got the NES Contras packed in too.

Seconding Punch-Out. Awesome game with sick music. I'd personally love it if the Chrono games made a comeback. Chrono Cross wasn't the sequel we wanted, and Square's too busy making spin-offs to give a shit.

Yea, Contra 4 has multiplayer. I think it's multicard only, though.

They'd probably only use the buttons for a DS Punch-Out, but my bet is that if there ever is a third game, it'd be on the Wii, and use motion controls, much to the chagrin of many.

A while ago I was thinking how awesome it would be to have a new Super Dodgeball game. And lo and behold just last week they released a new one for the DS!

I forgot Paperboy. An addicting game that would be perfect for the Wii.

Has guys rolling tires!
