Nihon Asks: What Should Be Capcom's New HD Remix?
NihonTiger90 | 11:26 PM on 03.12.2009 34 comments




So, rumor has it that Capcom may be interested in doing more HD remixes of classic games after Super Street Fighter II Turbo's job was met with acclaim and success in sales. Capcom VP Christian Svensson said they could "potentially" apply the formula to other fighting games in the company's catalog, like Marvel vs. Capcom. But while he only mentioned fighting games, I have a hard time believing that's the only thing Capcom is considering when you look at the product they've been putting out for digital distribution on the consoles. And that led me to wonder: what game in the Capcom family deserves to be next to get a HD facelift?

Capcom has such a deep library to pick from, and while there are more "obvious choices" to pick from, I'm going to go with my gut and say Strider. One of my favorite platformers from yesteryear, a graphics upgrade would go great with this game. Imagine something hand-drawn, like the A Boy and His Blob remake, with vividly animated backgrounds and smooth animations. Sure, some might say any number of Capcom's fighting games, but we've already had one of those. Some might say Mega Man 2, and while its a noble cause, I'd rather it stay in its current form. A game like Strider, though, could greatly benefit from an HD update, both in terms of game quality and of franchise recognition. It might be enough for Capcom to jump start work on a new Strider for the current generation of consoles. Plus, a HD Strider could come out for all three consoles, leading to great sales potential for the big C.

But hey, that's just me. Let's hear what you think should be Capcom's next potential HD remixed game: pick any single one you want except the one that's obviously been done.

MvC2.
TheCleaningGuy's Destructoid Blog
Ever play Strider 2?
If not, go do it, it was badass and pretty.
Strider HD Remix would be great, but I was not a big fan of the style of Super Turbo HD's graphics. If they remixed this, I hope they'd add a few more animation frames and a dash a la Strider 2. I don't think it would be a big issue, considering that SFII is about frame counting, whereas Strider is about fluid, fast action.
But my ideal HD remix would probably be Vampire Savior. A fast, brilliant fighter with all sorts of crazy animations. (I actually might prefer MvC2 HD, but considering how long SSFTHDR took, I would never see it in my lifetime.)
Oh, hell, nearly any Capcom deserves an HD remix.

I came in here to say Strider, and I leave satisfied. You rarely disapoint Nihon.
Guagloves's Destructoid Blog
Strider. Because it was awesome.
Abagnale's Destructoid Blog
Bionic Commando!!....wait.
pedrovay2003's Destructoid Blog
I'd say Strider, Duck Tales, or possibly even Final Fight.
Rider Chop's Destructoid Blog
Strider or Rival Schools. In my heart of hearts I would like an HD Cyberbots.

@ Rider Chop: Cyberbots? Rival Schools?
You sir, are a genius.

Every single 2D NES and SNES Disney game they made.
Justice's Destructoid Blog
Man a remake of the SNES Goof Troop game or Aladdin would be pretty damn cool.
Overcrowd's Destructoid Blog
Christ... As great as Strider and Rival Schools would be, I'm inclined to say....


Third Strike. Why hasn't it been mentioned yet?!
Spork's Destructoid Blog
I would say Strider except it's already being remade for handhelds - not HD remixed, but still.

Maybe a Megaman game? A shmup would be good.
FitzLik3AlG0r3's Destructoid Blog
Final Fight or Captain Commando, I'm a sucker for 2D beat 'em ups and Capcom knows how to make them better then anyone else. Add online co-op and you've got something I'd be playing for years.
Cowboy TTop's Destructoid Blog
Strider will turn up at some point because 09 is its 20th anniversary. MvsC2 is in the pipe at Capcom.

Beyond that I'd love to see Alpha 2 and X-Men Children of the Atom. Wouldn't bother me if they weren't hd remixes.
lastSKYsamurai's Destructoid Blog
Disney's Magical Quest!....... . . . , ok. I cheated. I Wiki'd it....

 about me




Oh, hi there. Didn’t see you enter. Anyways, welcome to my humble little blog. For those of you not familiar with who I am, the name’s Brian. I’m 23 years old and hail from Lorain, Ohio, just outside of Cleveland. I work at the local newspaper here as a copy editor, putting my four long years of college to actual use. Kind of. I think.

For those of you who might recognize me from elsewhere, I work as Assistant Gaming Editor over at Blogcritics Gaming and as Features Editor over at Tomopop. It's a lot of work, but it's worth it because I get to do a lot of cool shit with a lot of cool people.

I've been gaming since the relatively young age of around 3 and I've played plenty of games, both good and bad. I'm continuously expanding my gaming collection, which has become more of an archive in recent years as I'm focusing on collecting older, less well-known titles. You'd honestly be surprised on what people are missing out on in bargain bins...



Other than gaming, I love anime, manga, sports, movies, TV, and a whole lot more. I also happen to have something of a legendary love for Cammy, to the point that I am the site's unofficial official Cammy fanboy. And yes, I do play as her in Street Fighter and do so quite well, too.

Also, I am Chad Concelmo's B.F.F., my prize for coming in first in The Great Retro Quiz .18 - ActRaiser. Accept no substitutes. Not even Aerox.
