It looks like a popular Nintendo series from yesteryear may be revived with a new re-release. 1994 saw the release of games like Donkey Kong Country, NBA Jam, Earthworm Jim, The King of Fighters ’94, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, X-COM: UFO Defense, Final Fantasy VI, The Elder Scrolls: Arena, Super Metroid, EarthBound, The Need for Speed, Mortal Kombat II, System Shock, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Virtua Fighter, Tekken, Daytona USA, and DOOM II.
