I'm pretty impressed by a few of these remakes coming out... Rygar for the PS2 is fantastic and recreates the classic NES Rygar feel pretty well. I figured it would be a ho-hum adventure with the Rygar named slaped on it to give it that classic epic look. It's not like that at all, it really feels like a true Rygar game.

These remakes of classic series' that haven't been around in years seems to the be the flavor of the day. Shiniobi, Ninja Gaiden, etc. Nintendo is rumored to be making a cel-shaded 2-D Kid Icarus for the Gamecube (it's the new franchise that the big N is going to debut... although I hold out hope for a 3-D Star Tropics), Sega is making a new Streets of Rage...

So is this just a temporary fad or is going to continue? Will we see... I dunno, Kid Niki and Alex Kidd make comebacks?
