* The entire ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'' franchise was in a very precarious position for several years. ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM'' released in 2010 and sold well but became a low point for the series due to extremely polarizing fan reaction to Samus' characterization and the writing. Whether it was the result of ''Other M'' or not, the series entered an extended dry spell broken up only by the [[BrokenBase contentiously received]] (to say the least) ''VideoGame/MetroidPrimeFederationForce''. Fans of the franchise were left largely unsatisfied, a situation not helped by Nintendo completely ignoring the series' 30th anniversary and [[ScrewedByTheLawyers their DMCA takedown]] of ''VideoGame/AnotherMetroid2Remake''. Things seemed bleak until UsefulNotes/{{E3}} 2017, where ''Metroid'' came back with a vengeance and saw not one, but two new games announced: the long-desired ''Metroid Prime 4'' (for the Platform/NintendoSwitch), and an official remake of ''VideoGame/MetroidIIReturnOfSamus'', entitled ''VideoGame/MetroidSamusReturns'' (for the Platform/Nintendo3DS). While the former [[TroubledProduction has yet to release]], the latter debuted later that year to critical praise and positive fan response, with those who were more lukewarm on the game's quality expressing that Samus truly had returned. Any remaining fans who hadn't been won back were won over with ''VideoGame/MetroidDread'', which greatly expanded upon what worked so well with ''Samus Returns.'' ''Dread'' received critical acclaim and went on to sell three million copies, making it the bestselling game in the series to date.

* ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' fans were heavily disgruntled by Capcom management with some of the later games in the series, with [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil5 the fifth game]] being considered a poor man's [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil4 the fourth game]] and ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil6 6]]'' being absolutely hated by many fans because [[ActionizedSequel it was too much of an action game]] compared to the franchise's roots in SurvivalHorror. However, [[VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations both]] [[VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations2 games]] in the ''Revelations'' series were seen as [[RevisitingTheRoots a solid approach to the franchise's origins]], an announcement to the widely requested remake of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2'' in a similar style to the ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil1 REMake]]'' had the fandom rejoicing and the reveal of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard'' was one of the highlights of the Platform/PlayStation conference at UsefulNotes/{{E3}} 2016.
