Old school nintendo games making a comeback

Are they simply porting the games with a modified control scheme and nothing else changing? Or are they going to go the Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes route, where they improve the graphics and add in new items and/or techniques that have been added into the series in games since? Or will they go the Metroid: Zero Mission route, where they add in all of the above things, as well as new content to expand the game? Any way, if Ocarina of Time is coming to the Wii, that makes me quite excited.

 

Ocarina of Time isn't "Old School", you young whippersnappers you. "The Legend of Zelda" and "Zelda II: Link's Adventure" are what we would call Old School.

(Or we can go back to Pitfall on the Atari 2800. Or Tennis for Two, if you want to get pedantic)

 

I played the Zelda series untill Windwaker when i couldn't get into it, and the second Zelda sucked majorly compared to the first :|
Secondly, they shouldn't remake Ocarina of Time, sure i'm gonna try and get it at some point (i have no good game shops nearby) but compared Majoras Mask it was nowhere near as challenging.
Thirdly, if they mess this up like they did with the pokemon remakes - i don't want fancy graphics and what not, i want a decent game on a new console :dry:
Fourthly (i don't think i've ever ranted this far ) they need to port flicky from the genesis.

 

Ocarina of Time and Goldeneye were the best games ever........maybe I'm just nostalgic, but all these new games simply can't compare to the sheer awesomeness of some of the older games

 

agreed, although it is one of the best of the series

 

Ocarina of Time doesn't have to come back, it was already back to begin with.

SNAP SNAP.
/me rides into the sunset.... sexily.

 

Re-releases don't excite me. I still own all of my old systems and games. If I want to play Goldeneye, I plug in the N64. If I want to play Zelda 1, I plug in the NES.

 

Really?? they can worth good money.

 

when are we gonna get that resident evil 2 remake?

 

Zelda 1 and 2? Now those are just old (Remember that "generations" within the gaming world tend to last only a few years; the fact that the NES is four generations old certainly makes its games old.)

 

its dangerous to go alone take this wooden sword.

 

I think if they should be remaking any old school nintendo game it should be "Super Metroid". That game is one of the best period.

 

That's because N64 was the BOMB.

 

I'm going to derail this thread for just a moment...

This isn't means as a correction (I'm guessing you meant Atari 2600) but I just thought I'd give all those young whippersnappers a fun little bit of obscure Atari trivia. (I'll admit I'm a bit young to have grown up playing the 2600)

In North America Atari made a Sears Tele-Games branded version of the 2600 called the "Video Arcade." There was an iteration called the Video Arcade II and in Japan it was called the Atari 2800. The Video Arcade II/Atari 2800 was unique from other versions of the 2600 in that it had four controller ports instead of 2 and the controllers that came with it were a combined joystick and paddle.



Back to the original topic...

I'm not particularly thrilled with the re-release of old games. Sure they're great games but I'd rather just fire up the N64, SNES or NES (or even the Atari 2600) and play it with the original controller than dish out more money for a game I already have. There would be an exception and that is if they improved upon or expanded the game in some way. Like being able to play Goldeneye multiplayer over the Internet.

I do understand the appeal though to someone who may not have had a particular game or may have sold off his/her old system/games to pay for the next generation.

 

That would be awesome if they brought back the original NES Legend of Zelda on the Wii.. somehow that game managed to suck and rule at the same time!! Twas the start of a franchise! Long live Zelda!!

I'm half joking though.. I'd rather wait for the new Legend of Zelda scheduled for next year..

 

I'm a huge nintendo fan. Love their philosophy and the games they make. They seem timeless compared to other games. I'd love to see them release anthologies of all versions of the one canon of games... like one with all versions of the smash brothers series, or with all versions of mario, etc... I love a bit of posterity

 

I want to see a remake of Bomberman from the Turbografx.
