I don't see any point on why 2D zelda games should be remade. Not worth it imo. Same thing for the DS games.

That only leaves SS and TP. SS is to fresh so that leaves TP by default.

This man fucking gets it!

I don't want anymore remakes. But if it happened: Zelda 2. Fix the xp system and I'm happy.

Some games REALLY need tweaking, though. I downloaded Super Mario World for my Wii U as a Club Nintendo reward, and was shocked at some of the changes that the Game Boy Advance remake had made, changes that i thought were only natural, like how getting hurt when you were Fire Mario or Cape Mario reverted to Super Mario, instead of all the way back to Tiny mario, or how every time you restarted after "saving" and quitting, your lives and score would reset.

Other older games had problems much more severe in terms of difficulty balance or other things which were accepted standards then but would be aggravating as all hell right now (can't imagine actually playing the real Fire Emblem 1, for instance. The game would be a nightmare compared to Fire Emblem 11).

Old games, games that were released some 20/30 years ago need tweeking? I fail to understand this logic. Isn't that basically George Lucas mentality? He did the same thing to his movies and fans universially puked.

I think what makes those games classic is because they're...classic. Once you take an old game and modernize it, it's no longer old OR modern. It's some weird inbetween. I think it's better to just leave the past in the past. If people want to have a peek into the past, then play what we all played back in the day and experience the way it was originally meant to be experienced.

But my post was more about getting old games, games that I already beat a bunch of times, instead of brand new experiences. I'd rather buy and play new games with new stories than plod through old story lines again.

The tweak I want is you don't need to touch the XP number to gain it in Zelda 2. That was the worst thing in the game. It never made any logical sense. Plus, all the nosensicle text. And 2D games would be better because we've never seen it in 3D. Remaking TP, SS has no real benifit. Except if they made Fii not info spam you every start up.

I want a remake to Legend of Zelda 2. I'd like it to be called New Legend of Zelda...and be in the vein of the New Super Mario Bros update. I'm really not sure what can be done with the overworld, though a painterly sprawling look with terrain changes and draw distance would be cool, while still retaining the top down 2D feel. The side scrolling aspects would be a no brainer...just up the polygons on the sprites and include a few new mechanics and you're good to go.

The beauty of this is that you could also create an entirely new franchise based around this style.

i would love to see a zelda 2 style/remake for nintendo's next handheld

Twilight Princess, but not for WiiU. It's too soon, I'd like there to be at least a full generation in between original and remake (of any game) for it to be worthwhile. Therefore TP for the next Nintendo system.

If you remake any of the early games you might as well just make a new one, because that would be just as much work.

Yes I know, spemanig. And it was already essentially an annual release between 2000 and 2007. I just said I'd rather not...
But it wouldn't really affect me too much as long as all the remakes sell to someone!
