Still seems kind of pointless, since you can still play the Xbox version on a 360, and for less than £10 as well.
They more or less did, just tweaked names and some settings and came out with biosockjuandonde said:
Seriously I'd like to see fallout remade, I missed out and with my current screen playing through it is painful (widescreen sillyness :[ ) Also some of the older zelda games...In fact ANY top down RPG on a new engine would be awsome, or even a GTA that played like the old ones.
wow, I could just go on o.o

oh right sweet i forgot completely about that, I'll probably just end up fishing it out of the loft some time; I mean maybe they could give it a graphics boost or even a sequel would be pretty sweet

Mr_Czar's avatar reminded me of the day when I used to play Aladdin for the Sega Genesis. It was a great game and I think that a 3-D adaptation with some Prince of Persia-esque game play would be pretty cool.
Earthbound (Mother 2), just because I'd want to see Giygas with next-gen graphics. That would be f-ing scary.
The original Star Fox.
Link to the past would be awesome as a next-gen game. Maybe replace the rabbit (dark world) with something else, though.
Remake the old Final Fantasy games with next-gen. That would be fun.
Zombies Ate My Neighbors.
Branching off to Sega, Sonic 2 would be a great addition. You know, go back to the day when Sonic games were actually good.
Finally, Adventure for the Atari 2600. That game was awesome.

Metal Gear Solid got a remake on the Gamecube, and it was actually really solid and looked pretty damn sweet.Indigo_Dingo said:
The biggest problem with it was that it was a lot easier then Metal Gear Solid, because Snake had retroactively learned everything he learned from Metal Gear Solid 2, including FPS aiming.. which made the Revolver Ocelot battle a real LOL
A brand spanking new Mario game.
I know Mario's had his fair share of gamery on the Wii, but how about something darker? Why haven't we seen Half Life 2: Super Mario? Fighting the Combine by jumping on their heads! I would buy that any day.

To me, the idea behind remakes is to make games that we all loved from yesteryear actually playable to a modern audience.
Let's take an example - say, the original Metroid. Give it to a modern gamer. Chances are, they'll give up after about 10 minutes, because the levels are absolutely huge, you've got no idea where you're going and and progress, if any, is slow. Give a modern gamer the remake, Zero Mission, and they should be quite content with it. Still big, but it's a lot more accessible, you know roughly where you're headed and, provided you're not concerned with those hidden power-ups, it runs at a pretty good pace. The gamer is happy, and the remake is a success!
With that in mind, an awful lot of NES and Master System games could do with a remake - the original Zeldas, for example, could benefit from a 3D engine (and a plot [No! Bad Darthy!]), or at least a more streamlined gameplay mechanic. Ask a modern gamer to play the first Zelda and they'll have no idea where to go, which is hardly conducive to good gameplay. Also, updating Metroid II so that it's as playable as the other 2D Metroids (and in glorious colour!) would be a smart move on Nintendo's part.
Some other suggestions I've seen here that I can happily ridicule...
System Shock 2: This is perfectly playable on modern machines, especially once it's been updated with better graphics [http://www.strangebedfellows.de/index.php/board,2.0.html]. It's just hard to track down. The sooner it gets put onto Steam, the happier and poorer we'll all be.
Splinter Cell: Again, don't need remaking at all. Just fixing. And they're not even classic gen - all of them came out on the PS2!
Conker Live and Reloaded: This itself was a remake of Conker's Bad Fur Day, a game that desperately needs a sequel lest Rare be lynched.
Zelda Link to the Past: They already remade this. They called it Twilight Princess. Zing!
...kidding. But the similarities are remarkable - Light and Dark World, Link transforming into bizarre creature upon entering, original villain actually being controlled by Ganon, etc... Why would you want to remake a game into something that, even allowing for the similarity of Zelda games, would be remarkably similar to another one?
Final Fantasy VII: My views on this game are irrelevant, and I will not discuss them her-IT'S ABOVE AVERAGE AT BEST AND PEOPLE ONLY LOVE IT BECAUSE IT WAS THEIR FIRST 3D RPG!
Oh that felt good to get out. But remaking it would be pointless, because they'd bring absolutely nothing new to it. It's already in '3D', all they'd do is make it look prettier (which dedicated fans have done for the PC version already). It's full of side-quests, adding more would only put people off. It's got plenty of characters, and changing even one thing about them would infuriate most of the very people the game is being made for. Why bother?
Metal Gear Solid: They already remade this for the Gamecube. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Gear_Solid:_The_Twin_Snakes]
Aladdin: Yeah, some Prince of Persia style agility would be interesting, but you wouldn't be able to kill anyone (a Disney character, committing murder?), so I doubt if it would really work that well.

Pitfall? Spear of Destiny? Chips Challenge!
a tiny bit off-topic, but I would love a new monster rancher game. I loved that game when i was a kid. I still have the first two for the playstation.

Best of luck. Originality seems to be in short supply these days.luckshot said:

They are making a new Earthworm Jim.Fiskmasen said:
Also Golden Eye has been remade several times. It's been remade as a Half-Life mod, Half-Life 2 mod, and a Counter-Strike 1.6 mod. FF1 has been remade it's most recent one would be it on the GBA.
See, I thought they were just remaking the first one for the PSP. Do we know more of this new EWJ game, and whether it will be better then EWJ3D?
I liked Earthworm Jim 3D. Just Wikipedia it, it's on the Wii and another console is about all I can remember. also the PSP version is cancled.
You could argue that it isn't a classic, but I would like to see the first Metal Gear Solid remade for PS3, it would be awesome.
