Great! While I've never been a "fan" of Karateka, I've always thought it was interesting with its style of combat and cinematic feeling. Great stuff to expand in the remake.
Also, the coolest thing in the original was the option of bowing to your opponent. Very classy.

I really like Karateka, in a Urban Champion sort of way. It's not aged well, but it's got pretty interesting AI for an old game, and the twist at the end is a classic.
I hope this one keeps up!

I wonder how the controls will be handled. That is, if the old system will be replicated, or if it'll be remade to accommodate modern controllers.
Well if the guy sucessfully updated Prince of Persia, I believe he's going to do something great with Karateka too. Because damn, the only enjoyable thing about it now is the way the camera cuts to the bad guy and then goes back to you. Otherwise it's unplayable.

IMO, he should get in touch with folks who have actual experience developing fighting games. Personally, I'd love to see him collaborate with Sega-AM2 on this and take some tips from the VF team.
I really can't judge this before we've seen anything more. Mechner is cool and all but I sense there was much more behind Sands of Time then just him, and Karateka could really go in any direction.
I loved me some Karateka back in the day. Had it on Apple II+ with a green/black monochrome monitor.

I'd put up the ability to commit suicide at the very start of the game as the coolest thing.
