Compilations or updates that will never happen but SHOULD

[le geek]

So what would be a great compilation or update to a game you would love to see and would actually buy?

Two come to mind for me:

1) A Mr. DO compilation of all 4 arcade games (preferably for GBA!)

2) A release of the Original Legend of Zelda with SNES graphics (again GBA)

A Rabbit can dream can't he?


What say you?

Ben!

[Azazel]

Well they had BS Zelda so that almost qualifies for #2.

[Captain Wrong]

1) A Mr. DO compilation of all 4 arcade games (preferably for GBA!)

I would so buy that. Of course, I'd prefer it to be for a console so my hands don't cramp while I play it. (Note to Nintendo: adults buy GBA too.)

Nintendo might not know adults play GBA or really care for that matter.

A Stern and a Cinematronics arcade collection for modern consoles.

And a Taito collection too.

How bout collections from Treasure? I would love to see all of their Genesis/Megadrive titles on one disc. Same goes for their Saturn titles. I have pretty much all of the Treasure titles so I don't really care that much, but it still would be cool! ALso, how bout a Model 2 collection from Sega? I bought all the Saturn ports, now give me the real deal Sega! I want more then just VF2! Although that is a start!

THE ONE, THE ONLY- RCM

[Azazel]

I think all Saturn Treasure games would be kind of hard to do on the GBA without cutting a few things here and there. Plus there alread doing Guardain Heroes Advance.

[Phosphor Dot Fossils]

And a Taito collection too.

Ya just gotta look in the right country. ;)

I think Sega needs to go further back in its back catalog for a compilation: give us Zaxxon, Pengo, Eliminator, and so on.

Whoever owns the rights to Exidy's stuff, if indeed anyone does, is missing a goldmine. Venture, Targ, Spectar, Mouse Trap, Crossbow, and it goes on from there.

And there's lots more Namco museum to be had - Warp Warp, Galaga '88, many others.

At least Sega did Pengo on the saturn. Of course it's an import only. :o

[JJNova]

Metal Slug on the Gamecube.... :(

[Gamemaster_ca_2003]

Sega: No Duh.

Exidy: Great Idea

Stern: Might but not likely

Cinamatronics: same as Stern


My idea for a console complation pack is use a game disk with a comercal emulator with a bunch of legal roms for it ( Raster, Vector, logicboard and Lazer games) most likey for the X-Box then use X-Box live to download other roms for you to download for a price.

[swlovinist]

An Imagic Comp would be great! I know that Activision Anthology had one or two, but Dragonfire, Demon Attack for the 2600, not to mention White Water, Fathom for the INTV! You cant forget Microsurgon!....Oh yeah how about Wing War and Nova Blast for the Colecovision?

[-hellvin-]

A Hudsonsoft collection. Just throw all the adventure islands on, the bonk series, some bomberman/super bomberman games, ect.

[Crush Crawfish]

Konami: Make us a castlevania compilation. NOW. With rondo of blood.

Sega: Give us a sonic compilation with sonic CD, chaotix, and the sonic arcade games.

I'd also love to see sequels and remakes of Monster Party, Spanky's Quest, and Smart Ball.

[Dreamscape]

Metal Slug on the Gamecube.... :(

At first I thought you were NEOryu

Any way, a complete Castlevania compilation and a complete Contra compilation on the GC.

[Push Upstairs]

Sometimes i lie awake at night pondering the greatness that would be an Outrun arcade perfect compilation.

Outrun
Turbo Outrun
Outrunners

This would be a great companion with Outrun 2 on XBOX.


But i fear i shall never play Turbo Outrun ever again :(

[WiseSalesman]

One disc with every mario game, 64 and below.
One disc with every Zelda game, 64 and below.
One disc with every Sonic game prior to the "Adventure" games.
One disc with every Final Fantasy prior to 10.
Best of Enix RPG collection.

[Dire 51]

I've been demanding a "Splatterhouses" compilation for years now (with Splatterhouse AC, SH2, SH3 and Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti), but Namco, to date, has refused to listen to me.

Then again, there was that mysterious entry on Amazon UK a while back...

For that matter, a Gradius Ultra Pack would sit very well with me. This would be jam packed with every version of Gradius you can think of (arcade 1,2,3 & 4, Gradius Gaiden, Gradius II Fami, Gradius III SF, all the MSX games, the GB & GBA games, all the Salamander and Life Force games [including the Fami and MSX Salamanders] - plus all sorts of bonuses, like the opening cinemas to Gradius II PCE & all the deluxe packs & GG, and the bonus levels from the PCE Gradius and Gradius II), and it would be packed in as the second and third discs with Gradius V. :D Hell, even throw in Axelay and all of the Parodius games on disc 4.

I can dream, can't I?!

[Kroogah]

Final Fight Collection.

Arcade Final Fight (choose between regular or Sega CD soundtrack)
Final Fight 2 & 3 on SNES
Final Fight Revenge
Mighty Final Fight
Muscle Bomber 1 & 2

Punch-Out!! Collection.

Punch-Out!! and Super Punch-Out!! arcade
Punch-Out!! NES
Super Punch-Out!! SNES
And Arm Wrestling arcade and Pro Wrestling NES as secrets just for the Hell of it.

[Pedro Lambrini]

An Infocom remake pack with 24 bit hi res text and 5.1 surround silence :D

Seriously though, I would dearly love a collection of the Alien Breed games. A GBA version consisting of AB 1, 2 and Tower Assault - pixel perfect Amiga ports. Also a 'Cube version with enhanced gfx and surround sound on the above games plus full remakes of AB3D and AB3D 2. That would be absolutley a dream come true for me. When I first played AB3D I couldn't believe how cool that game was, it's way more atmospheric than DooM as much as I love that game too!

[le geek]

Well they had BS Zelda so that almost qualifies for #2.

I KNOW! Now if they would just clean up the code a release it stateside! :D

bastids!

[FantasiaWHT]

Sierra PC compilations

All the Police Quest
All the Leisure Suit Larry (was that Sierra?)
All the Quest for Glory

[Queen Of The Felines]

Oh fer cripes sakes, I have that one in my PSX list. :roll: :P LOL

[kainemaxwell]

Compilation of Enix's "Soul" trilogy of Soulblazer, Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma.

[VACRMH]

Capcom Beatem up collection...

I want AvsP on a system dammit :(

[Richter]

Streets. Of. Rage.

[FlufflePuff]

I really want to see remakes of Mutant League Football and Mutant League Hockey. Those games were awesome back in the day, are still awesome, and would be amazing on a next-gen system.

[musical]

Final Fantasy 6 and 7.

Everyone loves these games/stories/characters. It seems only natural to re-tell the story using 3D PS2 or PS3 graphics.

[Azazel]

Well they already ported FF6 to the PSX and we know how that turned out.

[Dreamscape]

Compilation of Enix's "Soul" trilogy of Soulblazer, Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma.

"Soul" trilogy... I have never heard it called that before. Usually it is referred to as the Terra Earth series or Heaven and Earth series, but yea that would be the best compilation ever. 8-)

[Azazel]

I hope you know that Heaven and earth is so so translation of another series.

Really? I'd always heard it called the "Soul Saga".

[ArnoldRimmer83]

I still wish for an Aleste/Zanac compilation. Doesn't have to just be Aleste games either, including the Spriggan games and Guardian Legend would be terrific. With Compile dead, that's not likely to ever happen now.

[Leo_A]

"But i fear i shall never play Turbo Outrun ever again "

Same here, seems like we're the only two fans this game ever had. :(

[musical]

Apparently you didn't read what I wrote: "It seems only natural to re-tell the FF6 or FF7 story using 3D PS2 or PS3 graphics." i.e. Not just a port, but a FF12-style game with full-sized polygon characters.

I'd love to play FF6 with horrible load times, but I'll stick to my SNES cart with its horrible outdated graphics.

Yes that was what I was kind of getting at. Oh yea they could do it on PS2 and not only have bad loading times but also have it done badly in 3D.

[musical]

(scratching head) I must be playing different games than you guys. My version of Final Fantasy 10-2 had no loading times. If Square can create FF10-2 with no visible loading,and Nintendo can do the same with Metroid Prime, the programmers can do the same for a FF6 or FF7 Remake on the PS2.

I think these games would look sweet in full-scale 3D, plus they'd reach a whole new audience.

(BTW, I don't consider the FF6 on FF Anthology to be a remake. It's just a simple port from SNES to PS1.)

Why would you want this game remade? I think a Port would be wonderful (which wouldn't need load times) . A few 2d games should get face lifts though. Like Super Mario Bros. I would love to see that game made to look like the Adventure mode in SSBM. A 3d Fireball and 3d Fireplant would really make me happy. Maybe SMB3, with the Tanooki and Frog Suits......Oh yeah!

[musical]

Why would you want [FF6 or FF7] remade?

Because it's easier to identify with and connect to characters that have full-sized bodies & facial expressions (like FF10 or Grandia 2 or Skies of Arcadia), than with little itty-bitty sprites that look like dwarfs. It would improve the expereince.

[WiseSalesman]

I don't give a damn what they do with the travesty that was FFVII, but should they ever corrupt FFVI, possibly the masterpiece of the series, with "updated" graphics, I may boycott square for the rest of my life.

I would buy an outrun trilogy that would be great.

[Sotenga]

My idea is that of a Turrican collection: The Amiga versions of Turricans 1, 2, and 3, both Super Turricans, (the NES one and the SNES one, both completely different games) and Super Turrican 2. Maybe they could throw in some history, mentioning the different ports of the games and how Turrican 2's format was bastardized to suit the film Universal Soldier. Perhaps interviews with certain members of the team like Holger Schmidt, Andreas Escher, Chris Huelsbeck, and Manfred Trenz himself? They could also have a translated version of this one interview I saw talking about the scrapped Turrican 3D project! This would be awesome, and since Factor 5 is still around and prospering greatly, why shouldn't they get back to their roots and reprise the game which made them famous? :D

I was going to post the very same idea! I would also include the Turrican games from the C64 and I would put the OSTs on a separate disc. The music for these games, especially the Amiga versions, is too cool! :-P

Crap, I forgot to give Chris Huelsbeck's masterworks a nod! I like the soundtrack idea, I do, and the C64 idea is good as well. Nice thinking, Pedro. :)

I just had another idea: A Cave collection? Donpachi, Dodonpachi, ESP Ra. De., Guwange, Dangun Feveron, and Progear? I'd especially like to see that last one, seeing as MAME can't emulate it yet. Maybe the company hasn't been around long enough to warrant a compilation, but as long as I see one in the next fifty years, I'm happy.

Yes I am familiar with that website. Great site actually. I just called it the Soul trilogy off the top of my head since I had typed my orginial post when I was burning a copy of the Terranigma ost.

[ubersaurus]

Oh for a zillion compilation+update...

I'd also love to see one for Compile's shooters...the Aleste series was fantastic, and I can't give Zanac and Zanac-Neo enough praise.

[musical]

I don't understand your viewpoint. Suppose that Square released FF6-Remake on a PS2 with FF12-quality 3D graphics. Would this event prevent you from playing the oiriginal? No. So why would it matter that the remake exists?

IMHO the existence of a FF6 Remake is like the existence of the Psycho Remake. I can choose to ignore it, and stick to the original.

Hmm, that'd be an interesting concept. I'd actually love to see how that would pan out, and if Square ever released it, if they included the orginial version with it, that'd be even better.
