In case anyone is wondering, I'm not just talking to myself. These are the submissions from people over at GameSpot and I am just dropping them in here, until we (if ever) start our own conversation here!

Omg! Willow!  My friend and would keep calling each other giving each other tips on how to pass certain areas or defeat certain bosses.  THAT was/is a great game.  Probably my first true RPG that I ever played.

Gremlins 2 was super tough, but fun.  I'm not sure I ever made it to the last level.

Apparently, Nintendo is partnering with other publishers to bring about the revival of lesser known third-party games.

Incredible suggestions at the GS thread --BUT-- If I had the choice for Rare to remake one game and one game only, it would be:

Sorry, Killer Instinct fans!

It's amazing how much easier it is to find screenshots now, compared to 8-zillion years ago in my original topic!

I'd like to see Azure Dreams come back.

It came out on the PSOne and then a year or so later they made a GBC port of it, and it seemed like Konami had a nice little sleeper franchise on their hands. Several years later they made a pseudo sequel for the DS called Tao's Adventure, but it was barely a sequel in any way shape or form. Completely different gameplay and outside of the setting there wasn't much connection at all. And the fact that it was also a piece of shit probably killed any more chances of seeing it again.

Wouldn't mind seeing a new Legend/Secret/Whatever of Mana too.

I still say that Seiken Densetsu 3 was best game that was never translated from the 16 bit era. A remake of this would be stellar.

And if you want to go way way way back.....

Underrated gold right there.  Culture Brain had a couple great games that deserve to be resurrected by someone even though they're out of the gaming biz now.

I'm not even going to begin to mention ALL of the shooters I still want to see, as I know that is pretty pointless and I don't want to make myself cry --BUT-- Thunder Force, Viewpoint and Gaiares!

crying

Alright... One more:

This game and Viewpoint, two more games that would suit the 3DS verrry nicely...

Neva gonna happen...

Two games by Square that are not available for DL anywhere that DO NOT make sense:

2049 was my favorite too. I especially liked the car combat levels (the stunt level was best in the N64 one).

Shadow Hearts guy died a couple of years ago Leo, so I think that Koudelka->Shadow Hearts trail has finished.

You've seen my Swapnote drawing of him, but I want the real thing, pink box and all.

It's time for Kid Niki, the Radical Ninja, to return!  Just think of this as Ninja Gaiden Lite...with an once of awesomeness, directly from the Eighties. Radical!
