Uridium 2(?)

Ah, I didn't experience Amigas back in the day and I bet it didn't leave Europe either. That would be why I hadn't heard of it.

Harvester and Night Trap.

Harvester is already a pretty console-friendly game in terms of controls, so no real adjustment there. Since the in-game footage sucks, I say reshoot and redo everything, audio and visuals. And release on consoles and PC/Mac. Maybe the iPad.

Night Trap already works on consoles, though the gameplay could be tweaked to appeal to current-gen gamers while not alienating the fans of the original. Also, reshoot all of the footage. I'm thinking of casting choices already.


Also:

* SMASHTV: this would be great for XBL/PSN
* Crimson Skies: and no, the Snoopy flight sim doesn't count (IHMO SFA feels like a clone of the Xbox CS game)
* ICOM games: remade for portables and smartphones
* Heretic/Hexen: remake for XBL/PSN/WiiWare, sequel for 360/PS3/Wii/PSP/DS
* Streets of Rage
* Space Harrier
* Panzer Dragoon

Gunstar Heroes:

Seriously... it needs to be done. Gunstar Super Heroes didn't really do it for me. Even though it had a few cool new abilities, at the same time they got rid of my favorite elements of the original and what made the original special and unique to me; Weapon combining, throwing enemies and bomb, and co-op play.

Vector Man:

Why there hasn't been a Vector Man 3 yet is beyond me

Jet Moto:

This is one of the coolest concepts for a racing game, especially for its time. Futuristic hover bike racing. It was very well done, the engine was great and the music was REALLY awesome! (especially in Jet Moto 2). I would kill to see a Jet Moto 4 for PS3. But sadly it'll probably never happen =(

Rival Schools/Project Justice:

PLEEEEEEASE CAPCOM! I love this series. It's pretty much a toned down vs series game. If they were to make another for next gen consoles, it would look so amazing and play amazing. sigh...... ;_;

It seems to only happen after every odd-numbered generation. So we should expect a 3DS Pokemon Pinball based on Black and White, probably around the time the third game comes out.

Odd-numbered generation for Pokemon games or for Nintendo console? They had pinball games for the Gameboy Color, and again for the Gameboy Advance..

Pokemon Pinball was with Pokemon from Red/Blue/Yellow (Generation I), and Pokemon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire SHOULD be self-explanatory (Generation III).

Pokemon Black and White will be Generation V.

Makes sense! I always thought it went by console. Here's hoping they DO make a Pinball: Black & White for the 3DS..
