Re: What Retro Game would you like to see upgraded?
 
I've heard a rumor that the next Namco update ala Pac-Man: CE and Galaga Legion is for Metro Cross.

That's a strange one, given simpler, more popular classics they have in their pool.

That being said, if they did an update to Tower of Druaga in that style, I'd be in love.

I wish they'd bring back some of the old turn based D&D PC games by SSI. And Bubble Bobble.

I would love to see some of these Sega Saturn games come to XBLA or PSN.

Panzer Dragoon Saga - The best of the serial and very rare to find.
Dragon Force - Excellent strategy RPG.
Guardian Heroes - Great side scroller game.
Shining Force 3 -Should have all three Scenario. U.S. release only have just one.
Daytona USA -Good driving game.

R.C. Pro-Am and/or Rock n' Roll Racing
Super Star Wars series with updated graphics, same gameplay

Shadowrun - but none of that remake shit, have it done in the same style as the SNES/Genesis versions.

And no, the recent release of Elemental by Stardock does NOT count. I hear that game is buggy to all heck and it is more Civ than MoM.

I would also love this.

Remakes I want:
Gabriel Knight series
Phantom Dust

Wasn't this essentially re-made as the new Scott Pilgrim game?

The original NES Ninja Gaiden
The arcade version of Mario Kart with the Namco characters.

I heard it was similar.

That would be great. Heck, just re-release the original on XBLA make it online and fix the camera.

I agree. Even just re-releasing it with no other changes would not only be beyond awesome but it would completely rule my life for a long time. I think when I stopped playing the original I had collected like 6 of the ultra-rare skill/spells (the ones that took 25 or something online wins to get each one).

I'd be in for Shadowrun and I'd like to see Syndicate Wars

Wow, I only got into it after I didn't have Arcade any more so I never played online. I loved it though.

I just wanted to add that the Mortal Kombat games are redone in HD and will be released same time as the new game.

Punch Out!

I'd love to see Wing Commander and Road Rash updated too. I know Tecmo Bowl was technically just released again, but I read it was shitty. Back in the day that was my favorite game of all time.

The Wii game was pretty solid.

Punch-Out was brought back on Wii and done RIDICULOUSLY well.

Super Mario Sluggers is in the same series/family as RBI Baseball.

X-Wing vs Tie Fighter. I miss that game.

I haven't bothered with the new version but the original Tecmo Super Bowl game is still just as fun today as it was then, especially if you get a version with updated teams and rosters.

I would kill for a new version of this game. About 10 years ago, I scoured the entire city looking for a SNES copy of this for a friend of mine. Eventually found it for about $75. I kept it for myself, since that was too much to spend on him at the time. ;)

Oh hell, that's right. I never use my Wii... I was actually hoping for a remake on Live.

You were hoping that a game published by Nintendo would get an XBLA remake? Good luck with that.

Right on, brother. Add another EA title: Legacy of the Ancients!

I loved that game. That and the Bard's Tale series (the original ones from the 80s, not the one from 2004) were my favorite CRPGs.
