Name some classic games from the old days that you'd like to see remade and done right on a next-gen console. Imagine your favorite games from the 80's/90's with modern gameplay mechanics, enhanced graphics and online play.

1) Road Rash - Most definitely Road Rash. I mean, c'mon, how the hell could they not have a motorcycle racing game with fists and weapons in this day and age?Why the hell did they stop continuing this franchise?

2) A real remake of the Genesis Sonic titles - Same levels, same style of gameplay, and as close as possible to the original physics, but with 3D/2.5D graphics. Sonic 4 just doesn't seem to cut it.

3) A real 3D Contra game - And I mean a good one, something along the lines of a decent FPS maybe.

4) A modern Golgo 13 game - Not necessarily a remake of either of the two NES games, I just think we need a next-gen Golgo 13 game. It could be like a sniper/assassin game like Metal Gear Solid but more episodic and mission-based like GTA or something.

5) Maniac Mansion - This game was pretty fun in its day and we don't get many SCUMM-based adventure games these days.

6) Twisted Metal 1 and 2 - I love the Twisted Metal franchise and I wouldn't mind seeing these particular two being rehashed to look and feel like TMB and TM:HO with a more urban, comic-book feel.

7) Tomba - I liked the cartoony feel of this game and I think the graphics capabilities of next-gen consoles can do it better justice today.

8) Snatcher - We Americans only got one game and it was for the Sega CD. The Japanese at least had several different versions from the PC-8801 to the Playstation. Too bad Hideo Kojima doesn't want to revive this game...

9) Streets of Rage - This was one of the most awesome game franchises on the Genesis and deserves to be brought back in next-gen consoles.

10) Gunstar Heroes - Another beat-em-up that should've spawned a franchise. Hell, the video game industry of today needs more arcade-style games like this.

11) Guardian Legend - A scantily-clad chick that turns into a spaceship on shooter levels and then back again on labyrinth levels? Why the heck not?

12) Eternal Champions - It may have been a ripoff of MK but every character was well-made and had a unique story to them and the fact they were all fighting to live again was a pretty cool plot idea.

13) Splatterhouse - Oh wait...

Yeah, I'm sure it'll be great and all, but some of the new features I'm a little skeptical of like the new multiplayer faction system. Dave Jaffe originally didn't even want the game to be single-player. I'd like them to make a remake for once, not just sequels.

Hell, we need more side-scrolling games in general. Especially beat-em-ups.

Captain commando needs the same treatment that turtles in time got.

I think a lot of the classic beat-em-ups could use the same treatment as Turtles in Time Re-shelled.



It's not a perfect remake, but I'd say it's a least a decent effort. Just imagine if they remade more beat-em-ups like this with online play.
