Through the use of download services and fully redone retail remakes of the classics, you can't deny that there have been some positives and negatives. Super Street Fighter II Turbo and Earthworm Jim got HD remakes, and Sonic CD has been updated with both regional soundtracks and Tails as a playable character.
There's still a lot of potential for great remakes though. Here's one of my ideas:
Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World - HD Edition:
Sure, we recently got a port of this for the Wii, but there was nothing new on the game itself, and it was limited edition. What a great way to celebrate the 25th birthday of arguably the most famous series in gaming.
In addition to being an HD remake for either retail or Wii U's eShop, there are other new features that other remakes failed to include. For example, no version of Super Mario Bros. 3 so far has allowed the player to replay levels once they have been completed. This can be a pain, primarily due to the need of an item in order to get past a certain obstacle in levels. Stage Select menus could also be added to Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros. 2, and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels.
Not to mention with such beautiful colors that we saw on the Super NES, I'd love to see what that digital rainbow on my TV screen could look like in HD. Leaderboards for high scores would also be a good idea to include. I think Nintendo could try this for Mario's 30th birthday, aside from a Mario take on Sonic Generations. A history book and music CD could also be included if it ends up being a retail release.
So what would you guys like to see redone on modern consoles, and what changes to the original game or additions would you like to see?
