So, I have a few wishes gaming wise that I know will never happen. But regardless, they still are hopes and dreams of mine! They actually are ALL either sequels, remakes, or remasters. So anywho, here’s my wishlist:
- Jade Cocoon 2 Remake/Remaster, or a sequel (Jade Cocoon 3). In either case, add in a New Game + option.
This was a PS2 game that not many people have even heard of, let alone played. It’s also where my avatar comes from. There’s a character called “Levant” in the game, and that’s who my avatar is.
Anyway, this game was way ahead of its time. It’s a turn based JRPG. Best way I could describe it is that it’s a more strategic version of Pokémon. I have played this game SO damn much in my life. Every other year or so I go back to it and play it. If it was remastered only, I would be fine with that IF they added New Game + and also an online mode.
- Enchanted Arms Remake/Remaster, or a sequel! (Enchanted Arms 2). In either case, add in a New Game + option.
Enchanted Arms is also a turn based JRPG. This game released on the 360 but I also believe it was on the PS3 as well. The game didn’t get too great of reviews, but man, I absolutely love this game. It’s another game that I’ve put thousands upon thousands of hours into. It has SOME similarities to both Jade Cocoon 2 and Pokémon with its turn based combat, and again, just more strategic! This game was actually made by FromSoft, the same company who made the Dark Souls series. And likewise with this game, if it’s just a remaster, I would think a New Game + would be a mandatory addition, as well as an online mode.
- UMK3 or MKT remaster or simply a re-release with GGPO or just NRS’ current netcode. MKT has never been officially released with online play. UMK3 has, but the two times it was (not counting the DS version) the netcode was AWFUL. And with MKAK, the netcode is awful AND the port is awful. Both times UMK3 was “re-released” it was done by a 3rd party company. How awesome would it be if NRS themselves actually put time into a UMK3 or MKT re-release? Much like the 3rd Strike Online re-release. All they did is added a godlike netcode, updated the graphics slightly, and didn’t touch the actual gameplay. That’s exactly what I want. And this above all else, would make my dreams come true and I could die a happy man.
- A Halo 2 remaster release that has all the original glitches, MAINLY super bouncing! This is actually the least likely out of them all. Since Halo 2 HAS been remastered and released with the Masterchief Collection. The only issue is that super bounces were removed. Super bouncing was one of the most fun aspects of Halo 2 for me outside of playing it competitively. I was actually apart of Bounce FX, and if you were around back then, you probably have heard of us. We were a team of players who were really good at super bouncing. Probably 99% of the super bounces you ever did in Halo 2 were probably found by us. We still have super old videos on YouTube, back when 240p was the highest quality you could get, lmao!
Anyway, those are my main wishes. I would also love a remaster/remake of a game called “Wrath Unleashed”. It’s a game that combined table top strategy with also fighting game components. Once you interacted with a tile your opponent was on, you went into a fighting game stage and fought like you were playing a fighting game. This game was way ahead of its time and I think it would be a massive hit if it were revived!
