Suikoden and Castlevania. Now don't get me wrong, the series are still 'alive' in a matter of speaking...but just barely. The only ones buying the games are the die hard fans, and even many of them are jumping ship. And with Suikoden, the series has gotten so off course, even the fans gave up on it long ago. Many of the sales for the newer games are just from people walking into the store and picking up a random copy.
Obviously Konami is trying to revive the Castlevania series with a whole new 3D title and various remakes, but we'll see how that goes. And as it stands, we still have the problem of Suikoden...an RPG series on vertiable life support that has no identity and only has a game come out whenever they feel like it. And hasn't seen a game near the quality or similar style of its predecessors since its creator left with Suikoden III.
