What Are Some Old School Games That Should Have HD Remixes?

Orioto is the man!

God, that Super Metroid render... lovely.

I nominate Streets of Rage 2 and Strider (also Strider 2, even though its not really that old school yet).

There will never be a MvC2 HD Remix because no man in his right mind would try to rebalance that game.

Making it about twice as long wouldn't go a miss either. Online co-op would be pretty epic, and there's enough variety of weapons to make for some very entertaining flashy lights.

Honestly, I don't think most 2D games really need graphical remixes, as that art style is really timeless (although other things like balancing issues, slowdown, niggling controls, etc should possibly be fixed). But early 3D games, absolutely... and Panzer Dragoon Saga to start with. Not to mention, this will vastly improve availability of the game, so more people can play without forking over $200 for a copy.

Robo Pit

Best robot fighting game ever. :p My favorite PSX game by far (though I only played a few at my friends house as a kid)

As soon as I got my PS2 I went out searching for the game, finally found it on ebay.

If a company is going to bother revisiting an older franchise in HD, I'd rather it be a whole new game than a pretty remake.

Exactly. I mean imagine if Contra IV was just basically Contra I with "improved graphics" on the DS.
 
dabookermans post blows my mind. holy cow. *unzips pants*

i need:

-Virtual On Cyber Troopers

-Mischief Makers

Honestly. I'm too tired to think of anything, I'm sure there's plenty more.

Not exactly an HD Remix, but I'd like to see a new Balloon Fight done similarly to games like Pacman CE, Galaga Legions, and Jetpac Refueled.

Choplifter!

1982 original Apple II computer version
choplift2.gif



1985 Sega arcade remake

These screenshots do not begin to show the huge difference between the two versions, you've gotta see them in motion to compare.

Anyway Choplifter is just BEGGING for an HD remake on XBLA / PSN.

Come on guys, no Perfect Dark mentioned yet ? After Banjo-Kazooie remake, I'd love to see that. With online coop and multiplayer, of course. It would be so great.
