Timesplitters: Future Perfect
Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction
Burnout 3: Takedown
Gauntlet Legends (I've seen the later versions and the remake of Gauntlet, and after all that, I still only just want to play this game again. And even better, it's one of the paltry few games that make emulators shit a brick for some weird reason. So the only way to play this game is if you actually have it on the N64. GREAT SUCCESS.)

But mostly Timesplitters. Maybe SSX as well, the 360 reboot. And maybe Halo: MCC, but playing Halo on the PC with a mouse and keyboard... I dunno. I think it might just be better off being solely a console experience.

Mother 3 would be nice.

You know, if Nintendo would let it leave Japan legally that is.

There's even a nice fan-made translation already out there, just waiting to be properly attached to a commerical release. All Nintendo has to do is pull the trigger and make it happen.

I'd like to see Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel without a Pulse back on Steam. Loved the fuck out of that game, but apparently there were coding issues with the Steam version and Wideload Games didn't want to write a fix, so it was removed from the store and its lost forever.

Also talk about a game that needs an HD remake. Christ I'd pay $50 for that game on PS4! And I never pay full price for games!

While I would like to see Tactics on PC, all main series Final Fantasy games except 1, 2, and 12 are on Steam, this includes 7, 8, and 9

Another thought that just came to my mind: Why not bring a lot of the older Ace Combat games, ESPECIALLY the PS2-era ones(Shattered Skies, Unsung War, Belkan War), to PC? You know they're bringing back a lot of the people that worked on those games for AC7.

OOps, I was going to write FFX but it is there. If I wanna part with $30. hmmmmm.

Great game, 15 years old. $30 buys state of the art stuff. Gotta stick with that rather than games I already won.

Console-exclusive RPGs.
Such as the Atelier and Persona series. Since I'll never get to play those otherwise. Can't justify buying the systems for just a couple of games.

Atelier Sophie is available on Steam and it looks like PC ports are the future for that series (and several other Tecmo Koei/Gust IPs).

Final Fantasy VIII got a PC port back when it was first released. I remember seeing the big boxes in stores. The current digital release is much cheaper and more convenient, though :)

Speaking of JRPGs, Disgaea 2 was released on Steam today.

I haver had a console and probably will never get one. But there have been some titles that interensted me over the decades and i might try if suddenly on steam :

- the Fire Emblem stuff
- Final Fantasy Tactics
- Kingdom hearts
- Atelier Series

And i would probably also try out this always praised Occarina of time game. But that would probably never end up on steam.

Mark of Kri 1, and 2 I guess.

Homeworld: Cataclysm, preferably a remastered version, but I'll take the original built to play on new systems.

Can't think of any others atm.

HW:C has the issue where apparently the actual code is missing. As in, gone, nobody knows where it is or even if it exists anymore. So essentially the entire game would have to be rebuilt from scratch.

And I'd really love to play a remaster. I've tried playing the original but it feels much harder to get into then the others, as in the controls feel really clunky.

Yes I know, I still would like to see it on Steam, which is what the OP asked. XD They didn't specify it had to be a realistic choice.

The original Guilty Gear. Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night, The GBA and DS trilogy. Basically every Castlevania game. More Nippon Ichi Games. The King Of Fighters XIV, yes I know its not very old but I would still like to have it on PC.

Scott Pilgrim Vs The World. The only Beat 'Em Up I've ever loved, and one with a brilliant soundtrack to boot. I wish whoever owned the rights could sort out a new deal to get it onto any platform again.

Uncharted series

Skyward Sword (With new controls.)
So Sony exclusives in general?
