Games

Bonanza Bros, Blast Corps, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Vampire: The Masquerade -Bloodlines, Cruisn World, LEGO Battles, NBA Jam

Bonanza Bros would be a great couch co-op multiplayer game in a world where we need more. It would benefit from some gameplay tweaks, and adding online play and 4 players would be big.

Blast Corps was awesome, I found it to be an extremely underrated Rare game. This game in an engine with simulated rubble and crazy explosions would be a gem. I also think changing the camera to first person should be an option at the very least.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days got its cutscenes remastered. I want the full game. It was dripping in atmosphere, and I loved the premise of scouting the new worlds. The graphics could use an upgrade, and the combat could be brought up to par with KH2. But, I love the leveling system and think it would barely need touching.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is awesome and not super long. It's extremely buggy, but luckily there's a modder named Wesp5 who has spend YEARS creating an Unofficial Patch, to a point where all the cut content is restored and it's essentially feature-complete. There's a version that just patches the game, and a restored content version. I think he should be given a team and be allowed to curate content and rebalance cut mechanics for a remake. It would be magical.

Cruisn World is one of my favorite arcade racers ever. It has untouchable vibes, and I'd just like to see that with a nice sheen over it, maybe more levels and vehicles?

LEGO Battles is an RTS for the Nintendo DS. Put it on PC, nuff said.

NBA Jam is not very niche. I want a remake, and I don't care if it's up-to-date. It's the best sports game period.

None. After the vivisection that was the GTA remaster, stay the fuck away from older games. Please and thank you.

Megaman Legends Megaman Battle Network Jetforce Gemini

Pong.

Half-Life. I know there's been some successful efforts to modernize it, but those only bring it up to Source 2 era.

I would love a fully modern remake. Modern lighting and raytracing could do great things for the detail of a headcrab infected scientist.

• MDK and MDK2
• King’s Quest VI
• Leisure Suite Larry 6
• Mario Paint

Ima have to say The Neverhood and Skullmonkeys.

Definitely remasters though, no remakes.

The adventures of buckaroo banzai.

That movie suffered from poor execution but it is a cult classic and could possibly reach a new generation if it were done correctly.

This might be too many, but what I want to see remade, remastered, or given complete editions (although "complete editions" may not be relevant to the post topic; and some titles may not be considered niche but whatever) are Asura's Wrath, Bloodborne, Bujingai, Bully, Dante's Inferno, Dark Sector, Dead Rising 2 (and Off the Record), The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai, the F.E.A.R. series, From Dust, God Hand, Grand Theft Auto IV, the first two Gungrave games, Just Cause, killer7, L.A. Noire, the Legend of Spyro trilogy, Like a Dragon Kenzan!, Mary Skelter 2, NieR: Automata, NieR: Replicant, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Ninja Gaiden 3, No More Heroes 2, Prototype, Red Steel 1 and 2, Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman, Solatorobo: Red the Hunter, Spec Ops: The Line, the original Splinter Cell (plus Pandora Tomorrow, Chaos Theory, Double Agent, and Conviction), Stranglehold, Tail Concerto, Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2, Watch Dogs 1 and 2, and the original World Ends with You.

Primarily, the goals would be to either restore cut content or integrate separate DLC into the main package, offer enhanced graphics, take advantage of the 16:9 aspect ratio if originally released during the time of 4:3 screens or on handhelds, or fix bugs or address technical limitations that affected their original console or PC releases, alongside numerous quality-of-life improvements like anti-cheat and DRM removal and extensive performance optimizations. Also, we're still waiting for a PC release for Bloodborne.

Elite 2: Frontier.

elite dangerous is very close but it doesn't really capture the seamlessness you get from not having a landing mode or frame shifting. pioneer spaceship sim is a remake in the truest sense of the word, but a remaster would fix the ui issues the original had rather than just rolling with them.

I'm outing me as ancient:

• M.U.L.E.
• Load Runner
• The Castles of Dr. Creep
• Seven Cities of Gold
• Paradroid
• The Sentinel
• Hanse / Kaiser / Fugger

It doesn't need a remaster, but a PC port of Lost Odyssey would be awesome.

Subspace Continuum

Heckin' Mega Man Legends 1&2.

I want a remake of the original Harry Potter 1 and 2 games from the PS1. Not asking much, anything that looks nicer than this would do

idk if it's considered obscure but I'd love to see the OG Viva Pinata get a remake (Or remaster atleast)

Omg shadow of memories! What a pick :) great game that I've heard barely anyone talk about :)

It feels like the rules to say an official english translation for Mother 3! Loved playing it (if Nintendo read this I did not play it)

Guiltily I'd also love a WWF Smackdown or Here Comes the Pain remaster, same arcade gameplay, same roster, or updated but just prettier and expanded! :)

xenogears

Horace Goes Skiing

Heroes of might and magic 3, but I feel like it might not have the same appeal if it did happen. Happy to be proven wrong, of course 🙂

I wouldn't say no to another Echo Night.
