Picture this: You’re running around a maze, you drop a bomb behind you, you turn the corner and there’s another bomb there waiting for you, seconds away from detonating.

When you really stop to think about it, the original Contra games were basically parroting action movie tropes from Predator, Terminator, and Aliens, so why not lean back into that, and go the ‘Far Cry: Blood Dragon’ route? Make it over-the-top, make it first person, give us full-auto alien-blasting jungle shooter with big dumb 90s action.īomberman. But it doesn’t have to be the end for this franchise. So, Contra Rogue Corps was really not good. Make it Like Dead Rising but with greater enemy variety and a light-hearted Sunset Overdrive vibe and resurrect this Zombie, wouldya?

90s gamers remember this game for its extremely varied weapons and enemies, fun b-movie vibe, and its unique day/night cycle mechanic. This game isn’t even on the virtual console, which is basically a crime against one of the most fun co-op shooters of the SNES era.

Ok so Zombies Ate My Neighbors was technically developed by Lucasarts and published by Konami, but at this point I don’t care who reboots it as long as someone does. But just imagine the possibilities of re-making these incredible games in the style of FFVII Remake, with all the requisite polish necessary to bring the story of the 108 stars of destiny to modern audiences.

Suikoden 1 and 2 are two of the best RPG games of all time, but were so rare to see upon release and so watered down over time by just-ok sequels, that the series never really got a chance to maximize its potential. If we can have a half dozen samurai games and 57 space marine games, we can have just ONE MORE perper western, can’t we? Make it a 3rd person action shooter, keep the 4player co-op, kinda like a wild west Borderlands, if you will. Maybe keep the deadeye mechanic like Red Dead and Gun had, only you’re also playing as a Bandido wearing a giant pink sombrero with a matching poncho and dual-wielding sawed-off shotguns. But what if there were a more arcadey, action-oriented western game with slightly looser physics and a lighter tone? Something like Sunset Riders! I think most people liked Red Dead Redemption 2 for the story and the world-building and aloof that, but there were certainly parts of it that at least a few of us found tedious. DID YOU KNOW that Criterion Games, the developers behind the Burnout series, were at one point in the early 2000s at least A YEAR into development on a remake sequel to Skate or Die? Imagine if Konami were to pick up where they left off, and bring this OG counter-culture skate series back to life. But in the absence of a Skate sequel - and to provide some friendly competition - it's only natural that Konami should bring back their most bitchin' rival, "Skate or Die". It's great that we're getting what looks like a proper Tony Hawk remake this year. Maybe add in a remix mode where you can swap characters between games and you’d get $60 out of us, pretty much no questions asked. All you really have to do here is bundle all three titles in one collection, give the visuals a little tune-up, translate some of the more novel DS stylus controls to Xbox and Playstation controllers, maybe send Igariashi a check and a handwritten apology and you’re off to the races.
