Since Co-Op games are making a comeback...

[TwwIX]

Which games would you like to see be brought back to life?

I have always been a sucker for beat 'em up co-op games such as Streets of Rage, Double Dragon and Fighting Force. They definitely need to make a comeback.
I Am surprised that haven't seen any recent games in the vain of these classics.

Oh god Streets of Rage remake plox.

 

[Reginald]

Syndicate.

 

[Hectic Glenn]

I loved Fighting Force, I don't know why. It wasn't very good. But co-op fighting was amazing fun with mates back in the day.

Nuclear Strike.

Anyone remember that old square beat em up (I think it was called "bounce")? I'd like to see something like that..done by a decent developer

 

[Krynn72]

I would like to see new ideas and not rehash old games that would just get slapped with new make up and shoved out the door onto the streets under the facade that shes a new girl who is still a virgin and thus she'll charge more for the very same services she provided years ago when he originally became a whore.


What?

In addition to what Krynn said:


Dynamite Headdy.

Fighting Force 3 was in the works, but died (second game was terrible).

have you given castle crashers a try? best side scrolling co-op (4 player) in a long time, not as awesome as the classics (tmnt, final fight, SoR, AvP etc) but still very cool. alot deeper as well, with leveling characters and unlockables, well worth the small amount it costs on XBL.

edit: and in answer to the thread, a GOOD next gen toejam & earl!

Streets of Rage and Syndicate also get my vote. They could be so great with days hardware.

I would absolutely love a modern take on something like Secret of Mana. None of this NWN stuff - I want decent action, big ****ing dragons, and 3 player goodness.

A co-op Oni - with tag team style take downs and linked combos - would own pretty much everything.

Castle Crashers is amazing. If you're in Northern USA or Western British Columbia, give me a shout to play (gordonfreeman11)

Jizzed. Pants. In em.

Game seriously needs a remake/sequel/"spiritual successor." In ANY form. Whatever, just gimme moooore.

 

[Jintor]

Coop Oni plz

 

[swan_song1973]

the simpsons arcade game, that was the shit.

 

[Ennui]

More support for Streets of Rage here. That game was golden, a game inspired by it with current technology would be excellent if done properly.

Yes!!! Fighting Force was awesome, if incredibly SHORT. Me and my sis used to play that game to ****ing death, over and over again until it was bed time.

It wasn't that short. Also, with 4 characters it offered a lot of repayability. The sequel on the other hand was a piece of shit.

 

[Agent.M]

A 3rd person remake of Ikari Warriors!

Sonic 2. There's your ****ing co-op. My buddy Tails hipping and hopping all around the place getting rings for me and and saving my arse. Tails, get your imortal self on that boss while I hang out in the corner of the screen. And the ****ing special stages. ****ING SPECIAL STAGES! Playing with my brother, hitting eachother whenever we dropped the rings. That's what co-op is about, ****ing punching the other guy when he ****s up. Have I mentioned Sonic 3 yet? **** YOU I WAS GETTING TO IT! That's ****ing co-op gameplay. You think it's cool first, oh, Miles can fly (TAILS' ****ING NAME IS MILES) but then you realise he can pick up Sonic and ferry him around the map like a ****ing crazy ass ****ing foxcopter. And you know why Tails has to carry Sonic? BECAUSE HE TOOK THE ****ING AIR BUBBLE WHEN SONIC WAS ABOUT TO ****ING DROWN YOU ****ING BASTARD TAILS YOU CAN'T DIE!
