Inzoreno | 102 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 So I believe, and I'm sure plenty here would agree, that there are some games that deserve to be available on every new platform that comes out. They are the pinnacles of the industry, games that will continue to stand the test of time as some of the best experiences produced from the industry. This generation has seen quite a substantial amount of legacy games available for both old fans and newcomers to enjoy, but there's always some that, for one reason or another, simply never show up. So, I want to hear from you, what are some of the games you still want to see modern ports of? For me, my number 1 wish is to see Chrono Trigger on PS4, XBOX One and the Switch. Considering it is often hailed as one of the best RPGs to come out of the 16-bit era, I cannot believe Square Enix refuses to make the game available to new and old fans in a much easier manner. At this point, you can get it on mobile, but the most recent console you can play it on is the PlayStation 3. There's no reason why we can't get this fantastic game on modern systems.

zeppelin03 | 314 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) I'm not much of a fan of basic ports. If they get more of a remaster or remake treatment I am much more interested. With that said I would be excited for Ocarina of Time. The game is great but an updated take on the game could make a big difference. Expand the world a little bit to make it feel as open as it did back then. There has to be a nice balance between vanilla OOT world size and BOTW. The temples and regions could look really immersive now. New cutscenes could make the story that much better. Throw in some of the Ura Zelda stuff I read about. I won't complain.

If it's 2D, then I'm usually fine with just a straight up port, but most 3D stuff should be remastered in some way before being brought to current systems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could get behind a Chrono Trigger remaster if they redrew all the sprites and backgrounds in 4k pixel art style, added wide screen support, and redid the entire soundtrack as live orchestral recordings while changing nothing about the gameplay. Same for a few other classics likes FF4, FF6, and Symphony of the Night. But we all know they would make them 3D or add terrible smoothing filters and completely ruin the experience, so it's probably best if they just leave them alone.

Code Monkey | 2,006 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 On Nintendo Switch: Cuphead Doom: Eternal Ori And The Blind Forest Ori And The Will Of The Wisps I'm talking about physical releases for half of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer Wii-U, since that's what it was digitally released for, but would gladly accept a Switch release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estil | 1,264 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) Oh I would've loved so very very very much if they had completed and done a good job with MegaMan Anniversary Collection GBA...to play the five GB MegaMen in full color would've been super awesome! As would Metroid 2 DX. But alas, Capcom and Nintendo both decided to be quitters And even at the time of Super Mario All-Stars release, I thought it would've made perfect sense for a Zelda All-Stars to have been released as well from the first two NES games.

I'm a Zelda fan boi (ALTTP is my fave game of all time, yes, STILL), and I NEVER CONSIDERED A ZELDA ALL-STARS. Genius, good sir. Well done. I'm a HUGE fan of ports, even when it's at the risk of a developer mucking it up (see the MK games across the Genesis, SNES, etc.). I'd be in support of something like Chrono Trigger coming to the PS4 and newer gen consoles. It IS one of the greatest 16-bit RPGs of all time. I always laugh at people feeling like they need to choose between Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, etc.; play and enjoy them all!

T-Pac | 7,539 Graphics Team · Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I'm personally most interested in the original release of a given game, but I do have one stipulation when it comes to ports: The new console that the game is ported to MUST have the right kind of controller available to play the game as it was originally designed. I wouldn't enjoy playing PacMan with a D-Pad or Super Mario Bros with an analog stick. It just feels wrong. -CasualCart 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noiseredux | 232 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I really would love to see Metal Gear Solid V and GTA5 ported to Switch. Both games I spent a ton of time with, but both games I loved spending a ton of time with. They're also the last few of my big "port wish list," now that Overwatch and XCOM 2 have made their way over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultGen | 5,401 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Daytona USA 2. Couldn't care less about porting games from one box to another, especially if they already play at reasonable framerates or in HD. Give me home ports of games that never had them!

Estil | 1,264 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) Oh how about a port of this game! It's so addictive Garfield doesn't even notice/care about lasagna (with meat sauce and extra cheese!) being ready...even if it comes with those breadsticks he likes!

arch_8ngel | 1,597 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I always wanted a console port of the arcade version of Willow. The NES game is fun in its own right, but the arcade game is a really novel experience. Similarly, a console port of the arcade version of Aliens needed to happen.

Deadeye | 1,596 Homebrew Team · Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Not going to lie, I thought this topic direction was going the other way. New games ported to older systems. As far as the direction this topic was intended, I would want to see Secret of Mana, but put back into development to release it as though the Super Nintendo CD version came to be. Don't need 3D or anything like that. (Probably still not the intention of this topic). Metal Gear Solid is my answer then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
