A discussion: Should older games be re-released for other systems?

Games such as Tales of Phantasia, which is being released for GBA.

Well, what do YOU think?

Xelopheris · June 17, 2003, 6:23am

If they are somehow improved upon. ToP will be English and Portable, for instance.

Crotanks · June 17, 2003, 6:54am

Depends. I’d like a release of Hyper Dimension over here

Charlemagne · June 17, 2003, 6:57am

Just like what happened to SNES RPG’s in PS.

The_984 · June 17, 2003, 7:40am

I wouldn’t mind Custer’s Revenge on the PS2.

I second the “Hell yes.”

Some of my fondest memories were of playing LTTP on SNES.

Do you really have to ask me?

Sinistral · June 17, 2003, 9:10am

Duh. Even better if the games come in combos and/or with improvements.

Of course!

As a gamer, I can get very nostalgic… heck, I went to pains to make sure my Pentium 4 machine could run old Dos games (I am talking games like the original QFGs) with sound…

It would be nice to play those games without so much messing around… I still don’t understand why people got so offended when Sierra re-released there classic games in VGA format.

You know a Link to the Past as been rereleased to the GBA?

Gilgamesh · June 17, 2003, 9:54am

I think they should re-graphic them, but keep the originals in the game too. Like they did with pac man, the original game secret was better than the game itself.

d_Galloway · June 17, 2003, 10:04am

Remakes they should make:

Any and all FFs
DBZ: Hyper Dimension (one of three good DBZ games)
DW4 (come on, damn you!)

Rinn · June 17, 2003, 10:09am

Yes, but only if:

They don’t pevert the original graphics and story. Editing is alright (The Breath of Fire 2 port anyone?).
They attempt to put more then one game in a set, I have no reason to buy a game I already have unless it’s either greatly improved or they make it worth my money (The PS Collection did this nicely, but it still needed some improvement. Like running…)

I would vouch for that, but won’t.

I’m also with re-released games, as long as they’re not “altered” when they’re released onto whatever system. Reliving the nostalgic games is always fun.

Another reason is that some of the games they’re releasing (ToP, for instance) are rather hard to find for their original system.

'specially ff3j and ff6…

Manus_Dei · June 17, 2003, 10:57am

I think that a new version of Tyrian would be great beyond all description, specially if they were to leave the original storyline, but improve the game engine and maybe add one or two extra episodes.
