Video Games Due For a Remake, Part One

Gamerzink has profiled two classic video games that they feel are in need of a remake, including 1989’s NES RPG Faxandu.

Qualities: A side-scrolling RPG for the NES, Faxanadu was an epic adventure title where the player took control of an unnamed protagonist in a bid to save the World Tree. With a more Adult feel than most games at the time, Faxanadu’s visuals and character design emitted a style similar to H.R Giger.

Reason for remake: Being such an old title, a remake would give the Playstation generation a chance to play a game that was not widely accepted the first time round, while offering a contrast to today’s JRPG.

I remember liking Faxanadu back in the day, though there are plenty of games I’d rather see remade before this one.
