What classic game series needs an update?

I'm beginning to wonder if we'll ever see a new Kid Icarus? Or a Metal Gear Solid-type Bionic Commando remake? Anyone else have an old favorite series they'd like to see updated?

i'd place my bets on a Nintendo DS Kid Icarus....
call i t a first thought prediction... but imagining two screens placed on top of each other would make for an interesting "vertical scoller".....
and kid icarus seem to be the best vertical scroller i can think of...

maybe the first?

as far as bionic command goes... you may be in luck....
check out the images from "Chain Dive" for the PS2
seems to be a "spiritual successor" to bionic commando....
but it seems more to me like a cross between bionic commando and Zone of the Enders...

check it.

lets see if i can find a link...
If you can find a link of this Chain Dive, please send it. Is it made by Capcom?

Good thoughts on the Kid Icarus too.....I'm just wondering if Nintendo will bother. I don't think they realize how well received a new Kid Icarus game would be.

Kid Icarus should be given over to Retro for a full GCN update ala Metroid...

Hmm I never thought of the DS being used for a game such as Kid Icarus...probably Ice Climbers too, even Bubble Bobble.

Anyways, definetly would like to see a follow up to Bionic Commando. Hmm can't really think of another game.

Retro screwed up metroid and hasn't done anything good ever in existence and only made one game in like 6 years and are slower than rare and twice as retarded. Why should they get icarus?>

the phantom denis strikes again.

ignore it.

anyway.... yes punch-out should be remade.....
but to satiate your want for punch-out style boxing... check out Wade Hixton's Counter-Punch.
Its not as good as tyson, but not as bad as punch king.... some of the BEST animation on the gba. should be worth checking out.

I would love to see a new Splatter House, most of all, but here are other favorites I would love to see updated or sequels to:

Crystalis
Conquest of the Krion Empire
Lolo
Golden Axe
Battle Zone
Vector Man
Gunstar Heroes
Guardian Heroes
Dragon Force
Bonk
and hell yeah a new Kid Icarus would be great I don't care which format it comes in, I want to woop up on the Eggplant Wizard.

Treasure supposedly never makes dirct sequels, so it's unlikely we'll see Guardian Heroes or Gunstar Heroes. Sucks, but that's one reason their stuff is so valuable. But man, I'd love to see a 4-player Guardian Heroes (in the regular game, not battle mode) with cleaner polygons and widescreen support.
