Star Wars: Battlefront 1 & 2. End of story.

I think if the gaming gods decreed that the wingdamage staff was in charge of writing the next Space Quest, Luke and I would spend the entire time trying to turn it into Star Wars vs the Avengers the text adventure.

I am pretty sure Colin and Jonah would murder us.

I agree with Russ’ suggestion of retro games with a graphical re-polish a la Bionic Commando: Rearmed, and would suggest Strider as a good one to start with.
Also, any of the decent Disney games from the Mega Drive/SNES era like Lucky Dime Caper, Quackshot or Castle of Illusion would be awesome as long as they had a tweak of the levels as well.

Hey what’s wrong with Chrono Cross? At least you got it over there you ungrateful lot! I had to import it (and wait over a decade for Chrono Trigger to be released here too no less…)

Even then I still completely agree, with Conker and Battletoads choices especially.

How about Shenmue 3 while we’re picking out games from the laminated book of dreams.

Someone needs to buy the rights to the Space Quest franchise, then hire the WingDamage team to write it and have Colin do the character designs. He already has a backlog of them from the fan projects we could draw from.

I would play a new Chrono game in a heartbeat.

Russ, you earned like a 100 official WingDamage cool points by requesting an F-Zero sequel.

I also vote for an HD Gradius VI developed by Treasure (5 was them) and a Star Fox developed by Nintendo (Star Fox 64 was the last one they actually handled themselves and was the last good one IMO).

Also, your next list should cover retro games that need a Bionic Commando: Rearmed/Punch-out style graphical update. I elect Snatcher.

I don’t think Chrono Trigger needs a direct sequel; it is its own game and pushing any farther would just sort of kill it. You saved time, and there’s not a lot more you can really “save” after time. Look at Chrono Cross.

No, what we really need is as many members of the original Chrono Trigger team to come back and design a “spiritual succesor.” Square Enix will give them an unlimited amount of funds to complete said games. And it will be magical. So very magical.

Psychonauts, F-Zero, Kirby: Canvas Curse, and Elite Beat Agents also need sequels.
