I agree, they did have some good games, just my experience with them was fairly bad. While I loved their wrestling releases on the Super Nintendo, if you didn't have a rapid fire controller available you were in for a world of hurt playing those. I wanted to enjoy the Simpsons games on NES and SNES but the controls just rubbed me the wrong way. The list goes on for me. I absolutely cherished playing Double Dragon II, probably my first experience with Acclaim games so my expectations were set high fairly early.

The problem is, so many of their titles were licensed. Not likely the new iteration of Acclaim will be attempting to get into WWE games again. Same for other sports.

The titles that were more original were sold off in bankruptcy so the new company will not have access to any of those titles either.

I do sincerely hope that they are able to do something unique and interesting with their opportunity though. I never want to see a game publisher fail because I love gaming as a whole. While some games may not fit my interest, I understand there are others that it may be their Double Dragon II, their Super Mario Bros, etc. That is the beauty of gaming.

Based on their promotions and attitude so far, I do not see them aiming for the retro market.

I just hope the new Acclaim can build off the nostalgia base they are garnering.
