Neglected Classic Games - VGF

R.O.B.B.I.E · 12-18-2004, 06:16 PM

With the popularity of the NES Classic series for GBA, memories by the nostalgic dozens are restored. But naturally, certain games that are your personal faves are overlooked. What forgotten game would you like to have receive the NES Classic treatment? A total re-make (Zero Mission)? Or perhaps a DS incarnation?

I would like to see Earthbound zero get the Classic NES seris treatment.

^Nah. Nintendo should just give us Mother 1 and 2 instead.

Startropics comes to mind, but I would rather have a remake. If it's a classic NES series, then it'd retain its annoying control scheme, which was the game's major downfall.

Fire Emblem also comes to mind-There really is no more reason to keep it Japan-only any longer. Number 6 probably deserves a US release more than any other since Fire Emblem 7 (US Fire Emblem) had left off with a cliffhanger at the end that leads up to the events of Fire Emblem 6 (Fire Emblem 6 takes place after the events of Fire Emblem 7), and since Fire Emblems 8 and 9 have nothing to do with six or seven, then people who haven't played Fire Emblem 6 will get very disappointed and will demand to know what happens next.

Your descriptions remind me of the Final Fantasy chronology.

Yes, Nintendo did pull a Final Fantasy with Fire Emblem 8 and 9. That's probably the only way to make an RPG series last that long.

Duck Hunt. They should make a total remake of Duck Hunt, with a light gun and everything, that game puts Time Crisis to shame.

^^ Well, only two games are supposed to take place in Elibe in the first place.

Kid Icarus, definitely. That is one of the only games that has never had a release on any other systems (It did, however, have a release for the Gameboy...BUT THAT WAS IT!). 'Tis a shame because Kid Icarus had some quality gameplaying right there.

I would definetly want to see A Boy and His Blob or Nightshade remake for the gameboy. Or even Maniac Mansion would be a good one.

Cant get much better than those old point and click games
