4. Cubivore
GameCube – November 10, 2002
A quickly forgotten and now quite rare piece of genius, Cubivore was originally designed for Nintendo 64, but was ported to GameCube in 2001. Unlike a typical Atlus game, the focus is not on storytelling, but interesting mechanics. The player begins the game as a small cube animal, and must work their way up the food chain, gaining limbs (and thus strength) along the way.
The problem with Cubivore is that it’s very unattractive. I’d suggest that any company looking to remake it should keep the cubic design but throw in different skin textures for the various animals, as well as a slight rounding off of the edges to keep things nice. It’s good to give overlooked games some attention, and Cubivore definitely deserves it.
I downloaded Super Mario 64 last weekend, because I had somehow lost the original… (I still have the box…)
In any case, I can remember back when I first played it, how amazing it was!
The Not having the C-stick above the buttons feels really weird.
I’d also like to mention: If Windwaker is remade, I think it should have a complete re-hall of it’s system. I loved being able to use anything as a weapon. I loved Beedle (And tingle). I think there should have been a pirate-esque feature, in that you can conquer larger vessels, to go faster…
I don’t think just making an HD version with Wii-control would be good enough…
Is Xenoblade Chronicles too recent to wish for an HD remake? One of my favorite games in a long, looong time… but the one weakness that can be pinned on this beautiful and ambitious game would be the graphics. Improve the textures, make the character models smoother and more realistic, get rid of pop-in all over the place, and maybe smooth out some of the rough spots in the environments. These changes would turn an incredible game into a sublime experience.
Then again, do I really need to get sucked in for another 100+ hours? Does this game really need to be more beautiful than it already is?
I’d buy it, ejamer! An HD Xenoblade… now that’s something I’d definitely like to see!
YES! Im at the end of the game (think so) im 82 hours into it, its by far the best game i have played this year, the best rpg i played this generation and my seconf favorite rpg of all-time, only behind final fantasy VII. Xenoblade is amazing, and i would love to see an hd version of it. Its a no-brainer.
Im dreaming about a sequel or something in the xenoblade world on wiiU, please Monolith/ Nintendo make it happen!.
I would like to see on hd.
