Was the original Punch Out, at the arcade, a Nintendo release?

Still waiting on a Half Life 1 remake. I would also love a remake of Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver. The story and atmosphere is still amazing, but it is such an eye sore to play now.

I'd still love for it on Live, but yeah, it won't happen.

I am very happy that a new Twisted Metal Game is coming to the PS3 next year. I wish Sony would do an updated Jet Moto game, it was one of my favorite PS games.

I pre-ordered it like a year ago, but it apparently has issues right now. Sounds a little vanilla also. Should improve in the coming months. Stardock can be trusted to improve it. I haven't had time to play it since it arrived last week, though.

SSI turn based games - I love Pool of Radiance and the like. The closest we've had to a good D&D-style RPG in recent years was Dragon Age and it sounds like they're going to F*** it up for the consoles for DA2.

I'd like a Master of Orion 4 that doesn't suck like MOO3 (I got burned on that one).

I'd love an update of Betrayal at Krondor or a game similiar. That was a great RPG also.

Agree on Shining Force 3 and Panzer Dragoon Saga. Need remakes hardcore, instead they keep pumping out stuff like the Golden Axe remake (with no co-op...lame).

One I haven't seen mentioned: Mutant League Football or Hockey (from the Sega Genesis). Those were a lot of fun even for non-sports people like me.

I loved that game. Darklands sucked up a lot of my time in the early 90s as well.

Apparently I was a little hasty in saying this would never happen...

umm the first Bionic Commando ReArmed game is exactly that a graphically updated 2d version of the NES game. The Bionic Commando PS3/360 game is a totally different 3d game.

So this is a new comp, with graphics like New Super Mario Bros. on DS/Wii? It seems that way based on the price and packaged bonuses.

I would love an updated Zaxxon. I played the hell out of that on my ColecoVision.

Like dvdjunkie said, I would like some more Blood Omen games. I loved the first Blood Omen game even though I really had no idea what was going on.

The Black Mesa mod is a Half-Life mod that converts the original game to the Source engine. Problem is that it has been in development nearly since Half-Life 2 came out six years ago and still has no definite release date. But hey if Duke Nukem Forever finally finishes development, then maybe this mod will too...
