I'll be beating it soon, and I don't feel like I'm missing out on a classic anymore. I agree, we need more nostalgia! There are so many games that I'd love to play but can't. And I'd also love the feeling of seeing old themes and gameplay tactics in new games. I never got to play Chrono Trigger when it came out years ago, but I recently got it for my DS.

Given the successes of Mega Man 9, Street Fighter, Bionic Commando, and Chrono Trigger it seems inevitable that we'll see more comebacks. Whether that exists as games being brought back as they were, or games being renewed and remade, I'm not so sure.

Super Street Fighter II Turbo HDR is a great example of this. For all intents and purposes it is the original game with a gorgeous coat of fresh paint on it and all the bells and whistles we need to reach out and play other gamers. I'd like to see more of this as it is fanservice, but it also pushes us in new directions at the same time. Great article! The whole retro/remix trend right now is great.

That is why I loved the ending to Halo 3; it brought me all the way back to CE. That is why I am more than looking forward to the Ghostbusters video game that I will probably buy regardless of how good or not good it ends up being. That is why I love when the LEGO series covers a new movie; it gives me the opportunity to introduce classics to the kiddos. Great article, and I agree!
