Goldeneye - Rights are stuck between MGM, Nintendo and Microsoft
Batman Returns SNES - Rights are stuck between Warner Bros and Konami
Jet Set Radio Future - Song licensing
Panzer Dragoon Saga - Source code is lost and Saturn is hard to emulate
Deathrow - Niche Xbox game owned by Ubisoft. They probably forgot they have the rights.

Please add more. There's a lot out there.

But hey Timesplitters would have been added to this list a week or so ago and now there's hope for that since THQ Nordic bought the rights.

Too Human, because of a lawyer slap-fight between Silicon Knights and Epic.

That shooter game I can't remember, which heavily featured Kevin Spacey for some reason.

I guess that depends if Nintendo has the sole rights for it. I guess we'll find out whenever they start re-releasing Gamecube games.

It would be pretty amusing to see a re-release with Spacey replaced with Christopher Plummer.

Tetris Attack - The president of Tetris got annoyed that Nintendo used the brand to market a puzzle game in North America that has nothing to do with Tetris at all, and thus this game hasn't been seen on the Virtual Console or as part of the SNES Classic (while its Japanese counterpart Panel de Pon has in both instances).

Diddy Kong Racing (original N64 version) - Rights mixup with Nintendo and Rare, and also includes two characters who would go on to get their own series by Rare (Banjo and Conker). The best Nintendo could do was remake the game on the DS, with Banjo and Conker replaced with Dixie Kong and Tiny Kong.

Two games mentioned gone because Microsoft now own Rare. Damn.

I know Donkey Kong Country 1-3 are awkward to re-release too. It randomly gets delisted sometimes.

Hopefully they reach some sort of agreement one day.

Maybe. But this rules out the easiest method to re-release the game through the Xbox One BC program which is likely its only hope.

He has to be since the NA SNES "FF3" never got a 3D remake.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles has been released with the music modified out.

I think the last time the original got released was on a GameCube Sonic collection.

When was the last time they even did that? It wasn't included in the latest Sega collections for PS4 and Xbox One as far as I know.

You know he's right in the sense if they ever do a N64 Classic it likely won't have Mario Party 1 due to the N64 controller. Would be hard to injure yourself on the 3DS stick <_<

What? I spun the stick with my palm all the time. All that ever happened was a little tenderness. I mean even if that drew a bit of blood on some kids, so what? Why does Nintendo need to give people money for that? Those wounds heal naturally.

Many kids did in fact damage their hands, and with how the AI in the game was, you pretty much had to spin the stick in such a manner to even have a chance.

Knuckles Chaotix - the game's engine was suppose to be very hard to recode for other systems that even emulators can not run this game 100%.

Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite - the license for the game is suppose to end this September and will be getting pulled of digital stores and steam. (might return some point in the future like 2 did)
