Only problem I’d have with Sonic 06 would be the bugs.
HEY . . . Why is sonic 06 on this list 😡
Sonic 06 made me lose hope in a good Sonic game being made ever again.
Street Fighter EX Series really sucked!
PLEASE do Top 20 Sexiest Male Video Game Characters!!
basically games that sucks; I've never heard of the games on this list; / original games; with the exception being: Spyhunter (arcade, & early NES game), Sonic the Hedgehog, GoldenAxe
Sonic 06 only sucked because the makers released it before they fixed all the bugs. If they needed more time to release it, they could have just said so.
This Game Sonic in Reality!😊
Thank goodness there are no Nintendo reboots on this list
Transformers & Godzilla watchmojo pls
Golden Axe Beast Rider should be number 1
XCOM
Original was brilliant.
Reboot was pants.
Suprised that awful saints row reboot is not on this list
while doom 3 was knida not that good but it was just only a small bump in the road for the whole doom serres for the most part.
What about the remake or whatever you want to call it of Resident Evil 3?
Thank you SimCity 2013 for Cities Skyline. A better franchise that deserved the millions it made.
Hey WatchMojo! We get it! Sonic 06 was terrible, but you've been beating up this dead horse for 2 decades!! Let it go already!!
I actually was hoping the second HOMEFRONT would have continued the story of the first one
the thumbnail got me….wtf they do to my boy!!!!!
Amazing video watch mojo of worst reboot games,fantastic job.
5. FUCK THIS FUCKING GAME THAT FOREVER RUINED THE SONIC FRANCHISE! NOT EVEN MANIA REDEEMED IT SINCE WE'RE STILL IN A RECESSION ERA OF SONIC ESPECIALLY FOR WHAT SEGA DID TO SUPERSTAR'S BOSS FIGHTS & YOU KNOW MY DEEP HATRED AGAINST THOSE BOSSES! IF SONIC 06 ALONGSIDE SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG GAME SHOULD'VE TAKEN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION LIKE TAKING MORE TIME ON GAMEPLAY DEVELOPMENT & MAKING SURE THAT THE STORYTELLING SHOULD'VE BEEN MORE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT PAST SONIC GAMES IS ABOUT, THE FRANCHISE WOULD'VE SEEN BETTER! BUT IT WASN'T MEANT TO BE AS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MANIA, SONIC HAS BEEN THROUGH SO MANY MEDIOCRITY & A FEW BAD ONES BEFORE SUCH AS THE EQUALLY INFAMOUS SONIC BOOM SERIES! THAT'S WHY GAMEPLAY-WISE, FREEDOM PLANET 2 DO THE 2D HIGHSPEED PLATFORMING SO MUCH BETTER IN RECENT TIMES! HECK, WHEN IT COMES TO 3D HIGHSPEED PLATFORMING, SPARK THE ELECTRIC JESTER 3 DID IT SO MUCH BETTER THAN ANY 3D SONIC GAMES! JUST TO SHOW THAT INDIE DEVELOPERS DOES WHAT SEGA DON'T! AND NO, MATTIAS OLSSON! YOU DON'T TOUCH MY COMMENTS! I KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO MY ORIGINAL COMMENT AT MOJOPLAY'S "17 Minutes Of Metroid Theories That Might Actually Be True" VIDEO! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR REPLIES EVER AGAIN! YOU DON'T EVER BE AS PERSISTENT LIKE THAT MYLITTLENIGLIT EVER AGAIN!
4. Watchmojo was right to insult Sega for all their mishandling on this franchise ever since that reboot's failure. If they should've just made the gameplay stay true to what the past games is all about & less on story, we would've seen a proper revival. BUT IT WASN'T! FUCK SEGA!
1. This is one of Konami's biggest mistakes ever. Considering that almost all franchises are dead except maybe Bomberman, it's why I hated that company so much without giving Castlevania & Metal Gear a proper revival they've deserve.
If there's a Dishonorable Mentions, it would be Star Fox Zero. This reboot not only failed to bring something new just to stand out from previous games, but also having the absolute worst controls in a Nintendo game. No wonder why Star Fox is more recognized as a Smash Bros representation than the main games.
In Homefront the Revolution defense, the game did get patched to fix the performance. Originally it stuck around 22 frames per second and would drop pretty much when anything happened. But a patch was able to get the game to stay at 30 frames per second. But even then the general gameplay wasn’t very good. And it is ridiculous that even release the game in that state.
At least from the ashes of Sim City '13, we got Cities Skylines, with actual offline gameplay, and on all platforms, mod support.
6:06 like you haven’t already?
If Bomberman needed a reboot, so would Kirby
I'm glad Kirby wasn't rebooted
What was with the 2000s trying to make many series all gritty and failing on every level? It was embarrassing! 😂🤣
pretty sure Sonic 06 is not a reboot
sure its bad
but its not a reboot
Saints Row. Enough said.
You forgot DMC and Thief 2014…
Funny, I thought Duke Nuk'em from 2011 would definitely be on this list. That reboot was terrible.
How about the top 10 Street Fighter characters that we want to see get added to Street Fighter 6
remake =to make anew or in a different form
redo=to do over or again
5:21 thats why its so memed like everything that can be
Sim City 2013 is not a reboot. Who are you trying to fool?

Sonic The Hedgehog 06 sucks and gets an F-.
I'm so sick of realistic graphics automatically having to be brown and bland, especially when applied to games like Golden Axe and Bomberman.
Stop believing what J’s Reviews and his Gen Z Sonic posse said, Sonic 06 is indeed a reboot, why else would they redesign Eggman, the previous games not being acknowledged?
I liked Golden Axe: Beast Rider to an extent.
Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! I had no idea "Flashback" had a reboot in 2013. The original game was awesome. I've got to play the reboot now. 🤣
The OG Spy Hunter arcade game was outstanding!! I poured a lot of quarters into that machine.
Classic : 😊
Reboot : 😞
How come Castlevania Lords of Shadow is not in the top? While the first game was good, the second was awful for sure
Splatterhouse (2010), DmC: Devil May Cry (2013), NARC (2005), Flashback (2013) and TMNT: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled (2009) are others.
I haven't even heard of most of these games, old or remake lol.
