Mutant League Hockey - Bill Lavoy, Agent 48 The soundtrack can stay, because it still slaps all these years later. The game is still one of the quirkiest RPGs ever made and it would be wonderful to play it again with a new coat of paint. I would love to see a new Earthbound game, but in lieu of that miracle occurring a remake of the SNES classic would be cool. I would be thrilled to strategize around its fierce battles, beautiful music, and incredible story again.Įarthbound - Asif Khan, Shacknews CEO/EIC/EIEIO It’s such an awesome early tactics RPG and hasn’t even aged that badly. So yeah, I would absolutely love to see the original Shining Force remade. You had agile centaurs like Ken and Mae, stout and strong dwarves like Gort and Luke, flying sword fighters like Balbaroy and Amon, and spellcasters of different specialty like Tao and Anri. I always loved the wild compositions of characters in Shining Force. A band of heroes from one such conquered land band together and rise up to fight back. The prophecy of a great and evil dragon returning guides a kingdom to align with it and conquer other lands to make way. It actually inspired me to write because I wanted to emulate a story like that. It’s the reason I got into fantasy-fiction, as well as a major reason I got into strategy and RPG games. Since I was a child, I’ve always considered Shining Force to be in the pantheon of media that affected my life and tastes. Shining Force - TJ Denzer, Senior Fantasy-Fiction Strategist Source: Sega It's time to go back to this all-time classic. I loved A Link Between Worlds as a sequel, but nobody would ever call it as good as the original, because nothing can touch it. Even to this day, there's nothing like A Link to the Past. It tests players as they adventure across two different worlds en route to battling the ultimate evil. A Link to the Past, for many, is the first game that comes to mind when they're asked, "What game constitutes a 10/10?" It's the definition of a hero's tale. Some might argue, how can anybody improve on perfection? As we've learned with Super Mario RPG this week, that hasn't stopped Nintendo from trying before. Remember how excited everyone got over Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons? How about that Skyward Sword remake? What about Wind Waker going HD? Heck, did anybody expect Link's Awakening to get the kind of reimagining that it did?Įven with all of that, Nintendo hasn't touched A Link to the Past. We've seen a fair number of games from The Legend of Zelda get either remastered, remade, or re-released. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - Ozzie Mejia, Senior 16-bit Editor With that in mind, we found ourselves wondering what other games of the 16-bit era need a remake? The Shack Staff tackled this topic for this week’s Shack Chat! Question: Which 16-bit video game needs a remake? It’s awesome to see Nintendo and other companies taking some of their older games and giving them modern treatments while keeping what’s good about them intact. Just quite incredible, and still utterly shocking that it happened at all. Super Mario RPG is out this week, and it’s lovely.
