Default Old games that deserve a re-make for XBLA

Warning up front: if this is an old thread, I don't care - I don't do searches.


Can you think of an old game that you loved which would be great as a revamped XBLA offering? If so, tell us about it and post a link to a web reference so that we can see what you're talking about.

Anyways - mine are a bit obscure, but I'd like to see an old ID games classic brought forward with a polish.

My picks are Commander Keen and Battle Toads.

lol I love how you don't care to search for old threads, cuz yes there was a recent one asking this same question. But I want to talk about it again so I digress.


For XBL or PSN
-Battletoads
-Road Rash (online too!)
-Goldeneye (online)
-Perfect Dark (online)
-MGS1
-Resident Evil 2
-Castlevania
-Castlevania II: Simon's Quest
-Super Castlevania IV
-Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (dont care if it was a GBA game, make it happen)
-Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (^same)

Yeah, I like Castlevania. Go **** yourself.

i can't remember the name. it was for the sega. you controlled a helicopter, and picked up fuel/ammo crates and blew up buildings and saved your guys. it was awesome and it should be brought to XBLA.

yeah and mk2 and 3.

Here's the one I was thinking of: Choplifter - big C64 game. I think it was redone for the Amiga as well - can't remember:

I would totally jump on that too...Mechwarriors 2 was awesome! None of the present 'mech' games come close to it.
