10 Beloved Gaming Franchises That Just Disappeared

3. Streets Of Rage

You remember the music. You remember the power-ups. You remember the rage-inducing boss battles that resulted in at least one Mega Drive controller's premature demise. One of the most-loved fighting series' in gaming history, Streets of Rage enjoyed great success and popularity when it was first released, resulting in two sequels shortly after along with comics and soundtrack albums. Unfortunately, since Streets of Rage 3 was released in 1994, there have been no more instalments other than those fans have made themselves. The Eidos-developed Fighting Force was originally intended as the first 3D entry in the series until it became something else, but the games have never waned in popularity and gamers have been clamouring for a next-gen makeover for decades now.
