WANT REMAKE NOWS!
God I remember when I first played Joe and Mac on Super NES. Had to be one of the first few games that we owned as kids on it.
Still a very fun game...

Confirmed: Golgoth working on Joe & Mac remake after Toki
The prospect of Golgoth Studio updating Joe & Mac for the high-def era when work on the gorgeous-looking Toki remake is finished excited me greatly, and it definitely excited you guys a lot too. Data East's 16-bit co-op platformer about beating up dinosaurs until they wept worked in the early 90s, and it sure as hell works today. As fate would have it, my guess about Joe & Mac perfectly fitting the developer's tease was right -- it's been announced. As with Toki, you can tell Golgoth is putting nothing but the utmost amount of care into recreating Joe & Mac with beautiful new art. I for one can't wait to see more. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)me and my brother used to play the bejesus out of this game.. oh my.. good ol' days of making grandma buy us a game at the BX without mom knowing.. good times good times..
WANT REMAKE NOWS! It might be wishful thinking, but I hope they put this on Wiiware. Or even put the Super Nintendo version on VC.
God I remember when I first played Joe and Mac on Super NES. Had to be one of the first few games that we owned as kids on it. Still a very fun game... Sweet Jesus. I remember being 12 or so and my kid sister was CRAZY about me playing this game. I had to beat the game for her at least once a month. She loved dinosaurs and thought this game was funny as hell. To this day, whenever she comes into town from college, we thrown down on two games: Streets of Rage 2 (Wiiware) and Joe & Mac (I have to bust out the SNES.) I sent her the link to this. I expect her to explode. I may have to get a 360 for this or at least get one for her. I really hope they consider bringing this over to Wiiware, though. 11:00 AM on 03.16.2013 Pony Fighter to be remade with help from MLP:FIM creatorLauren Faust is a powerful person.
