The Lost Vikings have a "good chance" of coming to Blizzard's Heroes of the Storm

Rock and roll racing chars plz

I too liked the Lost Vikings, however I wouldn't like to have them as playable characters. They only have 1 skill per Viking and rest they would have to invent. If that would be the case they would just lose their "lore" or whatever, they wouldn't feel the same at all.

Having 3 characters in 1 hero would make much more sense, being able to swap with say R skill to switch offensive, mobile and defensive stances. That would however just add some extra work for Blizzard to make custom skins, which wouldn't prove to be cost effective.

The only game Blizzard has ever made that I actually care about (Never got into Diablo, Starcraft, Warcraft, WoW). I'd love to see a proper new installment in the series someday.

I loved that game -- it was truly fun, challenging, and funny. I'd totally buy a sequel.

Blizzard should just make a new lost vikings game and **** off with the warcraft ruining.

The Lost Vikings were awesome!

OMG yes, I've been looking for this game all over. I wish they would put the original on XBL arcade. I can't even find it on torrent sights

I loved the lost vikings game back in the day. I'd love to see them make a return

Oh, well, I suck at micro in DOTA games (due to different hotkey scheme vs something like Starcraft), so I guess I won't be playing my nostalgia characters. :(

But, glad to see them in the game.

you can still play it via dosbox..

controls are a pain tho

A MOBA is not an RTS. Basic frakking genre knowledge Justin.

But what about Blackthorne?

My dad used to play the lost vikings on the Amiga commodore 64 :P

Funny game

Its' DotA , A tower defense game I think paying the same theme characters over and over again with one objective to kill the fountain would get old real fast.

I remember that game fondly on my Amiga. It was around the same time I played Fury of the Furries. Another similar and fantastic game.

They were in WoW i think. As dwarfs in one of the instances.

they have to put Blackthorne in there.

I wouldn't deny that Blizz can actually make an eye-candy out of those cinematic trailers. The problem is many of them completely make no common sense at all. Just take the Heart of the Swarm intro for an example. Who in the right mind would land a lone Viking to solo off an Ultralisk currently on rampage? And this one? Dropping a nuke onto a foe just a couple of feet away from you? These guys are seriously orbit high when they are doing these vids.

And back to the Heroes of the Storm thing. Blizz better make it free to play or else I can see that this one is going down even faster than you can say 'Titanic!'.

To be honest, I'd have been more surprised if they weren't going to be in the game. Blizzard only has so many properties, and a crossover MOBA is a great way to dust off some of the more obscure ones.

If I were them I'd be thinking of ways to bring the lost vikings back in their own game instead.

Maybe as a 3D SP or co-op game with a bit more enemies and modified abilities but still with the puzzle solving.

Maybe as a pure sequel with singleplayer or co-op in 2D

or maybe just a HD remake of the wonderful first game.

They could even ignore the vikings themselves and make another IP out of the same concept because it was a wonderful concept with the 3 playable characters who had to work together with their vastly different personal abilities to solve problems of the platform kind.

For those who don't know:

The first had a shield that could be used to block projectiles or be used as a platform or used as a hanglider.

The second had the ability to jump and run and break (some) walls with his head.

The third had a sword for enemies and a bow (also for enemies) that could activate hard to reach buttons and other objects.

In combination it made for some interesting puzzles and platforming.

This looks so good!! i cant wait!

I loved the lost vikings on snes and rock and roll racing. They should have got sequels or something.

I thought Blizzard would only include rehash characters and textures from WC3 and SC2. According to the gameplay video.
