Tons of people. You obviously haven't noticed because you haven't played/don't like the game. I assume you like certain Ninty games and thus when you see someone mentioning them, you notice it.

Tomba was brilliant and so was Medievil.

These franchises are dead for a reason. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Tomba wasn't a commercial success.

No offence, but you're comparing Tomba and Medievil to OoT, MM, Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Paper Mario, Goldeneye 007, Super Smash Bros., Perfect Dark, Star Fox 64, etc.

I don't even like Super Smash Bros. for the record, but its legacy is too big to ignore.

Right, so every franchise that is dead, it is for a reason? Gotcha. As for Tomba, it is infamous for being the most undershipped game in existence. There have been several artciles that mention that (obviously, they're exaggerating) and if you read the comments, most people mention that they played the demo but couldn't find a copy in retail. Also keep mind that Ninty games were not pirated, unlike ps games. Where I grew up, having a non-moded ps was unheard of.Same thing with every European friend I had. We don't know how many people actually played the game, but when it came out it was on the top selling psone games on psn for months. At least it shows that it's not as dead as you might have thought.

No offence, but read my post again: "Crash, Spyro, FF VII, Tekken 3, Legend of Dragoon, Medievil, Abe's Odysee, and Tomba", not Tomba and Medievil. All I said is that they are brought up more than you probably think because you don't care for them.

Good point, but it still isn't in the same league as the games I mentioned.

Read my original post, I mentioned Crash, Spyro and FF VII as exceptions. I can't agree with you on the other games.

Although I am going to buy the Abe's Odysee "remake" when it hits the Wii U! So I do care! Check the Wii U indie thread if you don't believe me. I just never see anyone talk about it.
