Maybe wide-screen on the Wii but certainly not HD. The Wii can't display HD and the games did not receive a true port for either Wii U or Switch, which are capable of displaying HD. The version you can get for the Wii U is just an ISO of the Wii version meant to run in Wii mode, so no real improvement there.

I take this to mean existing 3D games boosted to HD, like the recent Mario 3D release.
Zelda: Skyward Sword Chrono Cross Super Mario Galaxy 2 Super Mario RPG

I'm pretty sure this was at least made to be scalable to HD if not fully remasterd because IIRC it came as a downloadable game with the PS3's collector's edition of the absolutely amazing "Castlevania: Lords of Shadow" game.
But if you mean a remake instead of an HD remaster I'd be just as excited as I would be leery of it. LOL! The use of sprites in that game was a masterwork of programming and sprite artwork. I'm tempted to replay both this and Lords of Shadow right now just because you brought this up, but that's hours of a deep dive into gaming again, man. So I've noticed that this series comes up often here on these boards. I might be wrong, but I thought they were already remastered of sorts via the Limited Run Games PS4 physical releases a few years back? I think I still have sealed copies of one of them, although I know I sold at least the extra copies I picked up on the LRG initial order. |

Too be honest maybe Shantae 1-3 need actual remakes to look more like Shantae and the Seven Sirens.

I figure with how popular Monster Hunter is that Shadow of the Colossus would benefit getting updated. Same with horror games in the case of Castlevania; can never count out Zelda either. My main money though is updating the N64 or PlayStation games. The 2D PlayStation games hold up remarkably well. 3D modeling at the time, unless cartoonish (ex: Crash Bandicoot), doesn't. Most remain solid, but bear in mind it took time. Definitely a facelift can benefit them, as long as the core gameplay remains the same (or ironed out). I got nothing specific barring what I mentioned for the N64 games though for what can work best. Especially since several obvious/popular choices (Crash, FF7, Resident Evil, etc.) got remade this decade.

A YouTuber I follow recently brought this game back to my attention. Unfortunately, I doubt it can happen. Between politics and other popular Sega games, it's likely just a hidden gem at most. A shame too.

If only I had a PS4 and I could check it out. Eventually.

I forgot to mention my own pick for this.... I've been dying for a remaster of all three of these forever - The Parasite Eve series. I loved that series, and I never got to play the Third Birthday because of the platform it was on. They could remaster all three games and put them in a collection and I'd be all-in on those.

Are they better or worse than the Lords of Shadow games?

I would like to see a remaster of Brave Fencer Musashi, but they would probably fu** it up.

There a lot of things I would like to see, but the odds are really low.

In this weird culture war nonsense the AAA games have nowadays (luckily it doesn't affect retro games and beat em ups), the first Horizon game had a slimmer attractive Aloy but they made her uglier and fat-faced in the sequel for... reasons.
Now they're doing a remaster for the first Horizon game and are making Aloy fat-faced since 'day one'. I personally don't get it. Something about not wanting attractive women in games cause reasons, hiring attractive models to pose as the characters while the character in the finished product is 'uglified'. Main reason Stellar Blade got blowback from the 'woke' types, since China decided to stick with adding sexy back in video games. Last edited by Coola Yagami; 09-26-2024 at 10:41 AM. |

Ah Melonie Mac. I don't agree with all of her takes, but at least she gets it right with how these gaming companies work. In particular with how they continue to wreck Lara Croft.
