10 Cult Classic Video Games That Deserve A Remake

10. Bushido Blade

For certain members of the fighting game genre, Bushido Blade was the cool, edgy, alternative pick. Whilst the majority of people were sinking their teeth into entry after entry in the Street Fighter or Tekken franchises, those who got to enjoy Bushido on PS1 were probably all still trying to get to grips with its impressively high skill ceiling.

Even now, twenty-five years or so on from its initial release, it's still a title that feels like it has its own character. Bushido Blade has garnered a legendary reputation amongst the community for its realistic approach, as well as a number of original gameplay features, namely the one-hit finishes, lack of time limits and a strategic body damage mechanic.

And yet, the gaming world has been criminally underserved when it comes to the series. The spin-off, Kengo: Master of Bushido, on the PS2 remains the last entry to date, though appetite for the original entry to receive a remastering hasn't evaporated in the years since.

Grindstone's 2021 release Die By The Blade threw fresh fuel on the fire with how it invoked feelings of Bushido, showcasing how Lightweight's innovative 1997 title can still strikes true to this day.
