Ive noticed a disturbing trend. Old characters that were probably well known in thier times are being washed away by the lack of sequels to fantastic games. One example is theman from the end of time in chrono trigger. This guy's image is very memorable, standing right in front of a lamppost, holding his cane. You come across him many times in the story. However, nowadays, noone knows who he is because these great epics are not availible due to the lack of a super nintendo market.

Another is Goemon the mystical ninja. Yeah, he now has a game on the virtual console, but how many people are gonna know who the heck he is? i remember going to blockbuster to rent the N64 games he had all the time, because i loved them. he also had a bunch of sidekicks, and i dont remember thier names, which sort of proves my point. Its a real bummer, cause if this continues, in a couple of years, no one is going to remember who pit is.
