It’s been about 10 years since we’ve seen an original MediEvil game, even though we got a PSP remake in 2005 and a PSN port in 2007. Sony’s popular platformer hasn’t been through many revisions or updates lately, despite the fact that I know many people who would love to jump into Sir Dan’s role [...]

The online marketplaces of XBLA, PSN, and WiiWare have been a great place for gamers and developers alike. However, these markets, along with the DS, seem to have promoted quite a few remakes of old games- and I see this as a problem. It’s not just the new markets that we see remakes for, but they are what prompted me to write this article.

Perfect Dark for the Nintendo 64 was an absolute treasure as far as retro(ish) FPSes go, so when the XBLA remake, complete with online multiplayer and improved visuals, was announced, it was a no-brainer pickup. And if the reviews didn’t convince you that you should pluck down $10 on the remake, then maybe this neat easter egg will.

Just before Nintendo’s roundtable discussion session with Shigeru Miyamoto and Eiji Aonuma, a teaser trailer for a 3DS version of the N64 classic Ocarina of Time was shown, confirming that the game will be coming to the platform.

Nintendo have revealed via a teaser video that a new remake (that’s not quite an oxymoron, literature fans) of Fire Emblem will be coming to the DS, likely this year in Japan.

Remember when I said that the EA Sport’s NBA JAM remake coming exclusively to the Nintendo Wii in 2010 wouldn’t look like the Photoshop image I worked up above? Well, boy was I wrong. Check out the sneak peak screen from the latest Nintendo Power issue.

The remake of LucasArts’ classic adventure game The Secret of Monkey Island has been bumped down to just £3.49/$5 on Steam today, in honour of International Talk Like a Pirate Day, which is coming up on the Nineteenth. That’s what I like to call a good deal which you should probably take advantage of. I [...]

Destructoid have posted a set of comparison shots between the upcoming Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition and the original game. The best part about the update is that whichever set you prefer, at the touch of a button in-game, you can switch between them. Personally, I’m leaning more toward the old style: I prefer [...]

[vimeo width="510" height="383"]http://www.vimeo.com/4159817[/vimeo] My love affair with Klonoa is absolutely no secret- I played Lunatea’s Veil back in 2002, and have been looking forward to the series’s revival ever since. Of course, when Namco-Bandai announced the new Klonoa last October, I was at a crossroads. Sure, the game is a remake of  the Playstation’s Door [...]

Be advised that these Watercooler stories are not necessarily videogame related (they usually won’t be), and are often silly, controversial, and/or not safe for work (NSFW). If this [...]

Thirty years after the original Space Invaders, Taito has resurrected the popular game and made it better than ever. Of course, after thirty years and with the technology we have these days, the game should easily be better than ever.

Square Enix’s Yoshinori Kitase, who directed the original FFVII, mused that a remake could be possible with some serious collaboration.

First he says no; then he says maybe. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII director Hajime Tabata dangles the carrot and hints at what it would take for a FFVII remake. Hit the jump for more.
