Capcom is famous for reiterating games to death, yes? That said, when I saw links to "Bionic Commando Multiplayer" videos, I was a bit excited. However, that excitement quickly dissipated when I learned it was for the new 3D Bionic Commando and not the remake of the original game. I'll be blunt: I have zero interest in the "current gen" version. I only want Bionic Commando: Rearmed. You can keep your dreadlocks, thank you very much.
That brings me to another of Capcom's upcoming games: Street Fighter IV. I dearly wanted it to happen, but not like this. Here are just a few reasons:
A) Rufus is perhaps the ugliest/stupidest character design to exist in any medium
B) I greatly dislike the art style in general
C) I want it to look like King of Fighters XII, dammit. That game looks gorgeous!
So can you guess what I'm excited about instead? If you said Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, you'd be correct! And if you said it's because if the game is successful, there's a chance they could remake Street Fighter Alpha 3 in HD as well (my favorite fighting game of all time), you'd be doubly correct! So bring on Alpha 3 and Third Strike in HD with working netcode, please.
OK, so I haven't even played Bionic Commando (does this thing have a subtitle to differentiate it?) or Street Fighter IV. But admit it! If you had the choice of Capcom doing Mega Man X9 or having them remake Mega Man 2 and 3 in HD, you know you'd take the latter in a heartbeat.
So what new games would I like to see Capcom do? Mega Man Legends 3 and Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 are the only ones I can think of. Sad, isn't it? Just sequels. But that's what Capcom does.
But this idea of remaking games in glorious HD doesn't have to apply to just Capcom. As much as Square Enix and Nintendo have re-milked their franchises, I'd love to see some of my favorite games in HD. Super Mario 3 HD? Sold! Dragon Quest VI HD? Sold! Chrono Trigger HD? Sold!
I suspect the reason for this is that playing even just PS2 games on an HDTV is repulsive, but really it's because great games are always great. Who knows with sequels.
