Maybe not forgotten, but dropped/shafted:

- Jet Set Radio
- Panzer Dragoon (Crimson Dragon doesn't count)
- Jet Set Radio
- Blinx
- Jet Set Radio
- Metal Arms (was supposed to be a series but the publisher treated the developer like dirt and it never continued past the first game, bring it back!)
- Jet Set Radio
- Shadow Hearts
- Jet Set Radio
- Dark Cloud
- Jet Set Radio

Just bring Jet Set Radio back, I swear to god. Why, Sega? Why not?

Wild Arms.
Silent Scope.
Timesplitters.
Fear Effect. (Yes, I know it already is, but it's not the same.  Even the remake there is no details if it's a true remaster or a re-imagining with Sedna gameplay)
Punisher. (Personally, I'd love to see more Volition Punisher)
Red Faction.
Puzzle League.  (I'd do with any Puzzle League game, but I would love another franchise based entry Tetris Attack, Pokemon, etc.  Personally I'd love to see a Smash Bros Puzzle League a la Puzzle Fighter)
Mercenaries.
Wet.
Mad Max.
Mega Man Legends.

Suikoden

Legaia
Grandia

I can think of dozens of series that I believe could make a return but if I needed to pick up only one, it would be Alex Kidd.
When I was a kid myself, Alex Kidd in Miracle World used to be my favorite game by far, so it is definitely the dead franchise that I love the most.

Love this thread! Here are my picks:

Battletoads
Pocky & Rocky
Double Dragon Neon
Alan Wake
Burnout
Epic Mega Games and Apogee PC Games (not a franchise so much as a family of IPs that were awesome) - Hocus Pocus, Alien Carnage (Halloween Harry), One Must Fall, Terminal Velocity

Star Tropics
Parasite Eve
Bonk
Trauma Center (Switch Anthology Version please!) :)
Cool Spot
Destruction Derby
Dino Crisis
Earthworm Jim
Mutant League Football
Mutant League Hockey
NBA Jam
Rocket Knight
Rumble Roses (guilty pleasure)
Simpsons Hit n' Run (this needs to be turned into a franchise)
Streets of Rage
Contra
Wario Land (why is Mario getting all the love while Wario is stuck in mini-game land?)

• Alex Kidd (remake or all-new game, c'mon Sega!)
• F-Zero
• Pocky & Rocky
• LEGO Racers
• Zombies Ate My Neighbors / Ghoul Patrol / Herc's Adventures (A new game or a remaster would be incredible)
• MediEvil
• House of the Dead (Light gun games aren't dead just yet!)
• Mario Baseball / Mario Strikers (We got a taste in Mario Sports Superstars but these games are begging for proper sequels)
• Diddy Kong Racing
• Jet Grind Radio
• Conker
• Banjo-Kazooie
• Splatterhouse
• Mystical Ninja
