Between the 16-bit systems of the early 1990's and the polygon-powered systems of the late 90's, there were a number of gaming titles that held high acclaim.
For one reason or another, however, many of these titles have fallen into obscurity. Fast forward roughly two decades and it's high time some of them get re-imagined for today's gaming audience.
We single out nine such titles that we feel are most deserving of a modern next-gen reboot.
IGN writes: Mother 3 is one of the most hotly-desired RPGs ever, having never received an official translation in North America despite the cult popularity of its predecessor, Earthbound. But over all these years, series creator Shigesato Itoi has never weighed in on the discussion - at least until now."
The long-awaited documentary, which highlights the online community that's built around cult SNES RPG EarthBound over the years. It's an examination of the power of online communities and fandom, and the impact that Shigesato Itoi's series has had on its fans.
This should make fans happy. Grim Fandango has been resurrected to hit the turntable once again for the game's 25th anniversary! In partnership with Double Fine Productions and Disney, iam8bit is repressing the fan-favorite Grim Fandango 2xLP Vinyl Soundtrack.
Very great list. Chrono, Eartwormjim, Earthbound.....those games worth a nice remake.
Oh Grim Fandango would be excellent. Love to see that as a movie or remake or otherwise.
I would love to see a Grim Fandango remake. It is one of my all times favorite game.
The Neverhood.
Coolest concept ever.
Only the sequel, Skullmonkeys, compares.
Pokemon snap reboot on the Wii U? Hell yeah. Id buy.
