    I'd really like to see another Earthworm Jim game, i still remember playing the first two to completion on the Mega-Drive years ago. It's a shame we haven't seen the series continued on any of the next-gen consoles.

    The Alucard thread reminds me of the fun i had with Castlevania on the Playstation, i'd love to see a new Castlevania game just as long as they didn't take out the RPG elements to it or make it 3d

    Super Metroid was a lot of fun too in it's time, aren't they supposed to be working on a new version of that for the Game Cube?

    yup, metroid prime is looking pretty foxy, hope they make a decent game out of it.
    driver 3 might be decent, not sure what theyre trying to prove by setting it in miami tho:confused:
    (that 'two faced tanner' thing must've got to them)
    too tired to think of any others that i'm looking forward to:o
    a new installment in the flashback (or is it another world?) series would be pretty sweet...
    unlikely tho

    Earthworm Jim made a disasterous 3D debut on the N64.

    I'm excited by Metroid Prime, but only because of the name. The screenshots/movies and rumours don't fill me with excitement. I'm really looking forward to Metroid Fusion on the GBA though.

    Looking back at my favourite games of the 16bit era, I can't think of any that would work well in 3D. I would love a nice proper 2D sequel to Micromachines though.

    Robotron X just for the mindlessness of it all, probally is one out there a new one but i haven't heard anything about it.

    oh a summer olypics, i know theres a winter one but when are they gonna do a new good summer one where the gopher pops up outta the sand bit for the jump, the best multi button bashin game in the world, i miss them. *sniffles*

    That was that side-on shoot-em-up where you play as this Rambo type guy wasn't it? That was such a class game.

    I'd love to see a remake of Rick Dangerous, although I guess it would just end up being the same as Tomb Raider.

    i know the first 2 in the destruction derby series were pretty pants, but i'd love to see a next gen follow up to dd raw (one of my fave console racers).
    dino crisis 3 is looking pretty dodgy, it's set in the future or something. (all jet packs & spaceships & crap like that:( )
    definitely looking forward to the revamped resi series (anyone know if code veronica is getting released on the cube)

    dont think so.
    game cube doesnt need another resi game, already it is getting resi 0,1,2,3 & 4.
    is that not enough :confused:

    back on topic.

    i'd like to see a remake of Flashback, remember playing that on my trusty Megadrive, i taught it was a tough game, can barely remember what it was like. its years old now.

    They should remake Jungle Hunt cus the boulder dash was just crazy stuff and the final level was great cus you got the gurl if you could manage to jump the natives and stab them in the back.
    :)

    i just wanna see mor of claire redfield:)
    i think code veronica was the sequel to 3, so maybe it's being released as 4, too lazy to check it tho
    flashback had a half decent sequel called 'fade to black', a bit of a let down, but they should definitely make another sequel (i'm amazed they havnt yet)

    ShadowRun - SNES / MegaDrive
    New Zealand Story - C64

    Thx alot for that mbroaders, its just a pity most of the shining force games were on the saturn, which i dont have :(
    One coming out on GBA would be good tho.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,042 ✭✭✭spooky donkey


    I woould like to see some old Amiga clasics come back, Like shaddow of the beast series, i think it was out on mega drive as well. Oh and Digital Illusions pinball games were great, ' pinball dreams' and all. I got them all going on a emulator and i cant stop playing them since, gta3 is being pushed by the way side!


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,581 ✭✭✭✭Dont be at yourself


    Code Veronica is being released on the GameCube, its a port of Code Veronica X for the PS2.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman

    I remember the two Rick Dangerous games on the C64 and Amiga, they were awesome but a little tough

    Shadow of the Beast was really good on the Amiga but the SNES incarnation was pretty poor :( i think i'd prefer to leave that one

    ShadowRun was a really inventive game in it's time, i'm suprised no one has tried to make a similar game to that on the PS2 (don't say FFX)

    I think a remake on Dizzy games would be crap since they'd do it in 3d or some crap

    Well you cant really make another game of the same movie, all the other band games so far have been toss.

    Although on sayin that i havent tried the new one out.

    Back onto the subject spy hunter or creatures id like to see revisted


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,581 ✭✭✭✭Dont be at yourself


    Spy Hunter was revisited, its poo. They're also making a movie of it, starring The Rock. Aha.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,092 ✭✭✭Pigman


    Last Ninja 2. Cool game that seemed to be the last 'great' C64 game before the Amiga started taking over.

    They did make a sequel. Fade To Black. A 3d one too.
    No-one bought it cos it was a bit ahrd to get to grips with control wise.
    Flashback itself was a sequel to "Another World".
    I'm pretty sure FB was the first game I ever bought, for me Amiga600

    I'd like to see another sequek to Frontier (X-BTF was shíte - closest I've seen so far is I-war2- Edge of Chaos which rules)
    Cannon Fodder deserves some sort of update, even a ported one that runs in windows/loonix.
    A multiplayer CF would kick ass :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 295 ✭✭Tails


    Id also like to see cannon fodder remade.
