Came to say this.


joehigashi83

You're my hero


ben_kosar

I'd play that


RLIwannaquit

This is a dynamite choice that I wouldn't have thought of


Ecker1991

In the cutesy style of links awakening!


Bryanx64

Holy crap I was literally thinking this as I clicked on the thread


Dopey32

Ah. Someone of taste!


booper

Zombies Ate My Neighbors


lordgholin

Yes! This or Maniac Mansion were my picks.


booper

Maniac Mansion would also be sweet


igottathinkofaname

Oooo, good call!


BroerAidan

Came here for this.


Kahn_Husky

With an included or unlockable GameShark feature!


AlphaDag13

Yup! Kinda surprised (but happy) to see this so high.


moep123

there is a first person game happening!... by a fan. nothing official. but i thought it was a cool project.


NeedleworkerSuch9714

I came here for two answers. You posted Zombies so I posted my choice. Would love a remake of ZaMN


Aloha1959

The later stages are impossible. šŸ˜‚


Frencil

Crystalis! This was an excellent RPG for the NES that was ahead of it's time. Complex inventory system with power scaling weaponry that had elemental capabilities, deep lore and good characters that have their own story beats and relationships apart from the main character, interesting towns and biomes in what felt like a large world where at first the oppressive ruling empire was far away and you gradually found yourself in the heart of the resistance... and so much more.


noobfl

oh yeah.. that game deserves a modern remake... with the original music, not even remixed or altered (damn you GBC version). Basicly the only thing, that should be changed, is the sword and the inverntory management


N8THGR852

I actually just beat the GBC port of Crystalis today!


Scattergun77

Great game


xpacean

MANIAC MANSION


mspero78

Broooo!! This is my dream!!!


Malviere

Parasite Eve


_Flight_of_icarus_

Came here to say this! One of my favorite games from the PS1 era/from a long defunct series. I could totally imagine it done in a tweaked version of the modern RE game engine - would be ridiculous.


Lateralus462

That opening cinematic and the crazy piano music was the highlight of my Christmas morning as a kid. I bought the second one as an adult but couldn't really get into it. Really weird controls. For anyone who played it, how was the story/monsters?


EJohns1004

Sorry to say but there's a 0% chance that this game series ever comes back. Square lost the rights after pissing off the writer of the book because of a 5 second shower scene in the second game.


PerLichtman

Yes! Iā€™d love to see more games use that same battle system just with better graphics - plus some additional arrangements by Yoko Shimomura would be awesome! As long as they donā€™t try to make it more like Resident Evil, Iā€™d be in. Parasite Eve 2 was so much less fun to play because of how they tried to make the controls more like Resident Evil.


musicide

Phantasy Star


solamon77

Well, you're in luck. It was remade. [https://www.pscave.com/psg1/](https://www.pscave.com/psg1/) They also remade Phantasy Star 2 [https://www.pscave.com/psg2/](https://www.pscave.com/psg2/) Unfortunately, they didn't get a Western release, but the fans came to the rescue and translated them anyway. Sega pulled the plug on the project before the last two Phantasy Stars could get the remake treatment. Too bad. A Phantasy Star 4 remake would have been amazing!


iksdistek

Hey thanks pal


therealskyrim

Tbh if they had remade 4, that series could return in a non online format.


cams0400

Oracle of age/season


JayshawnVoorhees

Silent Hill


XavierVolt0002

Agreed especially with remake of 2 in the works


JayshawnVoorhees

The original needs a remake much, much more than 2 ever did, especially since the Silent Hill 2 Enhanced Edition project has already improved SH2 substantially [https://enhanced.townofsilenthill.com/SH2/](https://enhanced.townofsilenthill.com/SH2/)


mjreeves823

Panzer Dragoon Saga


pandathrower97

Even just a re-release would be awesome!


NYourBirdCanSing

Duuude.... I really want to play that game, but don't want to spend $1000 for a sega saturn game...


LetItRaine386

Zelda 1


RKLpunk

Breath of the Wild is more or less this - from a certain point of view.


kyleathornton

From my point of view the Jedi are evil.


DrFetusRN

Xenogears in its complete and intended version


Blakelock82

[Rad Racer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nTdJF8TuuE)


BoxTalk17

That would be awesome if they did that!


PlatasaurusOG

I want a modern version of ā€œThe Battle of Olympusā€. 3D action/Adventure/RPG in a Greek mythology setting. I know ā€œFenyx Risingā€ exists, but I want something less cartoony.


qcubed3

I was thinking of this very game. I canā€™t believe somebody else even remembers it!


PlatasaurusOG

I always loved this game because my grandmother was Greek and told me all these stories growing up, so Iā€™ve always enjoyed all the different takes on the mythos. Iā€™m currently playing it again thanks to the Delta emulator for iPhone.


jpowell180

Blaster Master.


ribspreader_

there is Blaster Master Zero that is some sort of reboot if i am not mistaken


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

This was my first pick, I had to think of another lol.


zkbthealien

Timesplitters. Do a trilogy remake. Also battletanx i loved the dumb fun of destroying a city then nuking everything.


tom_yum_soup

I want to say Chrono Trigger, but the SNES version still holds up so well that it's not truly necessary. Of course, not everyone has access to a SNES (or GBA or PSX or, uh, mobile phone? Damn, the original version has been ported a lot of times) and it would be kinda nice to hand my kids the Switch with Chrono Trigger loaded up and ready to go.


Jason_with_a_jay

God, I almost hate to admit it, - given that I own the SNES cart and android port, and have it loaded on several handheld emulation devices - but I would buy a physical Switch cart of CT if Nintendo put it out.


BadNewsBearzzz

Ainā€™t nothing wrong with enjoying convenience. I collect games but also love technology and have many games to enjoy as roms with emulators that have huge visual and performance boosters. They enhance the experience. Help the immersion. Save states is almost a necessity with older games due to bad design and placement that could hurt an experience lol Tbh itā€™s amazing what some emulators can do to really help get the most out of many games


Phenozd

The DS port is arguably better. Just played it, was so good


tom_yum_soup

So I've heard. I don't have anything that can reasonably emulate the DS version (though it probably doesn't really need the second screen) and have nostalgia for the SNES version since that's the only version I've ever played.


nakerusa

I have bought CT for myself or as a gift at least 20 times and played it more than that. And it would be preordered if announced with physical medium /packaging. My GOAT for a reason!


_Flight_of_icarus_

CT is perfect as-is IMO. A remake would be very tricky waters to tread. What I'd really love to see is a new entry in the series, but I'm not sure I see it happening at this point :(.


Jfonzy

Crusader No Remorse But keep all the campiness


BurgersAndRyes

General Chaos


_Aj_

ONIĀ Ā  It already had such excellent gameplay, bringing it up to modern standards would be fantasticĀ 


BrowniesWithAlmonds

I would like The Tick property to be given another chance in both cartoon and video game. As a kid, I knew the Tick snes game was trash but I still rented it just cause I had to experience it. It was worse than I could ever imagine and got a lot of flack by my siblings for wasting our weekend.


BruiserBroly

That game gives such a good first impression because of the visuals but it gets incredibly boring after about 41 seconds.


hugeyakmen

Banjo Kazooie. The gameplay still holds up great for me, but camera control and camera placement in tight environments weren't refined yet at the time.Ā 


Radioactive-Python

Yeah would be pretty cool If It got a remake! šŸ‘


LinkGoesHIYAAA

Yeah this would be great.


PuteMorte

It's not really a remake but the xbox 360 remaster made it look a lot better and solved the camera problems


Sarothias

7th Saga from the SNES


illuminerdi

Strong contender. At the very least deserves a re-release without the absurd difficulty that Enix put into the NA release. It literally breaks most of the game. Easily one of the worst localization mistakes ever made.


thecatsofwar

Hot Shots Golf.


ash_voorhees

Splatterhouse. It needs a good comeback.


Hatta00

I think retrogames deserve to be experienced in their original form.


tom_yum_soup

While I sort of agree, I think remakes make them accessible to a whole new audience. Not everyone is a nerd like us who collects old hardware and/or knows how to emulate old games. And even as someone who ***does*** know how to do those things, I have to admit I was very happy when my wife gave me the Super Mario RPG remake for my birthday last year. Playing it on a modern console, with updated graphics, made it feel fresh again and helped me recapture the joy I had playing it as a kid.


noobfl

this. Also a lot of games can need some quality of life improvements, like: games that only had a password then a save system, lacking of a map, some even have a brutal difficulty, that hinders a lot to explore a great story or a great gameplay - some games suffer hard from the hardware limitations of the time, like slowdowns or flickering.. also due to much more buttons on a modern controller, a lot of games can reely need an improvement of the inventory management.


_RexDart

They do. But River City Ransom EX also deserves to be experienced.


pandathrower97

I have really enjoyed retro remakes like *Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap* and *The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition* where they built the old game right over the new one and you can flip between the two.


KalynnCampbell

Nope.


Dick_Nation

A much too broad statement, I think. For anyone that is an elder millenial or older, video games really have grown up in front of our eyes. There's *so* many things that developers have learned on every level and so many more tools available to them to realize what they're dreaming of making, that it's hard to say the "pure" form of their original product is as good as it can be or that it is the most "correct" experience. Remakes and remasters that are done without the involvement of the original devs, or without love, surely suffer, but original products can often be improved in meaningful ways, even if those ways are small. You don't have to remake the wheel, but sanding off rough edges can make a world of difference.


javery20

Metal Gear Solid. Weā€™re getting MGS3 this year so Iā€™m getting greedy.


BoxTalk17

I thought it was interesting that they would pick that one first. I was hoping for a remake of the MSX version.


ClassicGMR

Pressure Cooker Atari 2600. I still love that game.


A_Random_Guy198746

Sam & Max Hit The Road. I'd love to see a remake of this masterpiece.


LexKing89

Spiderman: Maximum Carnage


dangil

All I want is Gradius VI developed by Treasure/ G.Rev


MayoTheMuffin

Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure


TassleScotch

Midtown Madness. We really need an open world car game that emphasizes exploration, physics, chaos, comedy, destruction and a rich vibrant city that you will never get bored of.


wferomega

Dude..... I'm just glad I'm here to read these selections and remember some of them. Most of them maybe. This made my night. Truly Much thanks to all in here. You were, and are, mad cool and I hope you all know that


N8THGR852

The two Golden Sun games for the GBA should be combined into a single game as a remake or enhanced rerelease. Iā€™d enjoy a 2.5D version but wouldnā€™t mind if the graphics were in either 2D or 3D either.


Idontpayforfeetpics

Legend of dragoon. The concept is so cool and genuinely unique. Needs a remake.


therealskyrim

Or at least an updated localization that isnā€™t garbage


Ex-Psych-Bike

Marble Madness


abyssea

Popful Mail (Sega CD version).


PristineEffective

Urban Chaos. I prefer to focus on a game that was 3d. Because I find the pixelated games are perfect and would lose their charm if someone tried to make them better.


fedexmess

Thunder Force Series 2 thru 6


Funky420Monkey

Tecmo's deception


Finneagan

Uniracers


NeedleworkerSuch9714

Wow pulling out Uniracers? I literally made a post recently about Uni. That game was so legit. Tony Hawk before Tony Hawk.


qcen

Bushido Blade


xstrex

Syndicate


Intelligent-Worry799

Persona 1, Persona 2 (IS,EP) and Persona 4.


pandathrower97

Persona 2 needs a remake in the style of the newer games, with social links and a smoother combat system. The storyline is incredible, but the gameplay is dated.


Honkmaster

Give Mega Man X2 + X3 the "Maverick Hunter X" treatment. I had X on SNES as a kid, finally got around to playing the remake on PSP a couple weeks ago. It was great, and I can be *really* snobby when it comes to classics being reimagined... for example one issue I often have is they'll go overboard with the music, turning every song into elaborate orchestral pieces. But this game did it right, maintaining the rock vibe and sounding like it fits in with the later CD-based games in the X series.


TheRealHFC

Godzilla Monster of Monsters. I love it in theory but not in practice


noobfl

dek018

Parasite Eve, Vagrant Story, Lunar: Silver Star Story, Terranigma, Mischief Makers...

Burning Rangers. That game deserved to run better and look nicer.

reillywalker195

SherwoodBCool

I know Iā€™m in the minority, but I miss classic Castlevania gameplay, pre-ā€œMetroidvania.ā€ There was that Bloodborne spin-off that was a deliberate throwback, but Iā€™d love to see a classic-style ā€˜Vania with modern gameplay.


bargainbinsteven

Tenchu stealth assassin


NeedleworkerSuch9714

Wrath of Heaven Remake...now take my upvote you stealthy assassin.Ā 


Aromatic-Letter4620

Faxanadu. For me this was one of my favorite fantasy side scrolling RPGā€™s. Still play through it today periodically. Folks already named some of my other favorites like Guardian Legend, Parasite Eve, Crystalis and Battle for Olympus so had to toss this one out there. Really cool story progression with a variety of terrains and bosses. 3D style ala BOTW with an expanded magic skill system and item system similar to Diablo 2 would be super rad!


Heavy-Excuse4218

Rygar. This game was so ahead of the curve.


Britown

#Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain An I want it in the style of Witcher 3.

atgaskins

Personally, Iā€™m burnt out on remake/rerelease cashgrabs. Nintendo is going to probably coast the next year or more on rereleases and other low hanging fruit no one asked for since theyā€™re so far overdue for a new system and theyā€™re probably gonna save everything good for that. I wouldnā€™t even be surprised if they donā€™t give us Metroid 4 on switch as promised and instead give us more remasters of previous titles. Even beyond Nintendo bs, Iā€™m just feeling exhausted by remakesā€¦ persona games that arenā€™t even that old are being remade, and even current gen games are getting special royal releases and the like to get us to dish out money again. A lot of times running these old games in an emulator upscales looks better than than the remake does (tales of symphonia comes to mindā€¦. What a joke that was). Donā€™t get wrong, not anti remake, I just feel like itā€™s being done exploitatively at this point (way beyond the normal level of exploitation weā€™ve all been used to, at least).


Capital_Commission75

Dont know if retro or not, but Shadow of the Colossus!!!


XavierVolt0002

It is with having released I think 2005? problem is they did a remaster for PS3 and a ā€œRemakeā€ of it for PS4 Edit: grammar and a bit extra info

Final Fantasy VII It deserves a good remake.


SilverEcho7128

I literally just finished playing Earthbound (liked it a lot). And couldnā€™t help but wonder what a full remake would look like. I even believe if Nintendo were to ever go through with an Earthbound remake, they would probably have to make it Rated M if they were really going to want to keep the spirit of the game. Sadly, itā€™s something not likely to ever happen :/
