10 Lesser Known Video Games That Should Be Remade

Everyone has an old game they think of with equal parts nostalgia and sadness. Not sadness from bitter memories, of course, but sadness from the slight pain that comes from the knowledge that there is something you love that you likely won't ever convince someone else to play.

Because, in an age where we can play games so well-rendered they almost look more realistic than life, many opt out of playing older or less visually impressive games.

And, while this is dangerously close to a gaming cardinal sin, it's also something that is understandable. When you can play through a beautiful experience, why would you slog through something that makes your eyes hurt after and hour and has bugs that could ruin your save?

This is exactly why so many beloved and fantastic games need be remade. Even when they hold up to the test of time, there's no shame in putting a new lick of paint on them in order to make sure that they get picked up by new admiring eyes.

If there's one good thing about remakes, it's that wonderful games are appreciated all over again.

Tragically, the World Ends With You appears to have been passed up for Kingdom Hearts in terms of beloved spikey haired protagonists - as while Sora got famous, Neku got the short end of the stick.

Which is a shame, because both are about the same in terms of completely hogwild yet lovable stories.

Only, The World Ends With You is the more intricate RPG of the two. The fighting mechanics incorporate the Nintendo DS' duel screens, by having you use both together to choreograph fights. It takes a little while to not find this the gaming equivalent of patting your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time, but when you do you feel as though you've genuinely mastered something, which is a feat for a game to recreate.

While this could pose problems with a remaster, the potential for it to see a full remaster on the Switch or even next gen of Playstation and Xbox is too immense to ignore - which means it's worth incorporating the two screens into one for the sake of upgrading the console it comes out on.

Also, the plot is basically that you are a dead person fighting through a week of intense battles to prove you deserve to be alive, and if that's not metal as hell, nothing else in this world is.
