== Automobiles ==
* The MINI, launched in 2001 by BMW is one such example. However, it's not a [[R Emake]] and is [[Canon
* The [[wikipedia:Fiat Nuova 500|Fiat 500]], a supermini that is considered utterly terrible in some nations (even the United Kingdom), and to be launched in the United States sometime in 2011 where such vehicles are considered as [[Americans Hate Tingle]].
* Volkswagen Santana, which is basically the 1981-1988 Passat with some slight changes and engine changes. [[wikipedia:Volkswagen Santana|The Other Wiki]] has a full article. Supposed to end production in 2012...
Line 68:
** That was more a "revival of necessity" though, because of the 1988 writer's strike. ABC decided that they needed "new" product, but wanted it on the cheap. So they dusted off the old scripts, sent the production off to Australia (which saved them 20%, and avoided other union headaches). It was originally planned as a full remake, but later shifted to the revival that ended up on film.
* [[Hawaii Five-O]]
* ''[[The Tomorrow People]]'' was briefly revived with the help of Nickelodeon in the early '90s. Though the premise was largely unchanged, it drew more heavily from American kids' show tropes -- particularly, taking [[Adults Are Useless]] to comic extremes. Neither this revival nor [[Big Finish]]'s subsequent audio revival of the original series directly referenced each other, though the latter has made some very oblique references that might be taken to either canonize or [[Canon
* The 1960s [[Spy Couple]] show ''[[The Avengers (TV series)|The Avengers]]'' was revived as ''The New Avengers'' in the 1970s, but lasted only one season. It uncomfortably straddled the line between the original series's ludicrous plots and the growing fashion for grittier, meaner shows such as ''[[The Professionals]]''.
** ...which was made by the same people who made ''The New Avengers''.
Line 109:
* Neverland released information and pictures of their ''Revival of Estpolis''/''Lufia'' second game ''Rise of the Sinistrals'' with ''[[Final Fantasy]]''-influenced characters and more action-based gameplay.
* The ''Oddworld'' franchise, which had seemingly died in 2005 with Stranger's Wrath, is set for a revival. See this Joystiq article for news: http://www.joystiq.com/2010/07/15/new-oddworld-games-in-the-works-at-just-add-water
* Nintendo dropped a whole bunch of these at [[E 3]] 2010, with the announcements of ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn|Kirbys Epic Yarn]]'', and a new ''[[GoldenEye 007 (2010 video game)|GoldenEye]]'' for the Wii, ''[[Golden Sun: Dark Dawn]]'' for the DS and ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising|Kid Icarus Uprising]]'' for the 3DS; when none of them have had releases in the prior five to ten years (and up to ''twenty'' years in the case of ''Kid Icarus'').<ref>Okay, Kirby had a healthy stream of portable releases in that time, but he hasn't been seen on a ''console'' in a while.</ref> The next year supported Kirby's console revival with ''[[Kirbys Return to Dream Land]]'', a classic-styled Kirby game (the first on a console since 2000) where ''Epic Yarn'' was one of the series' departures from the standard formula.
* Also hyped at E3 2010 was ''[[Epic Mickey]]'', which Disney planned as a revival for the titular mouse.
