  1. Nintendo Should Try It Too by Gothic_Walrus · · Score: 4, Insightful
    If Nintendo did something along the lines of the Sega Ages program and remade some of their classic NES games for the GC or its sucessor, it'd be a huge success - and since Nintendo's remakes sell very well, we know there's demand for something like this. Wonder if they've got anything like that in the works...

    As for the Sega series...I'll be happy when they get to the Sonic games and "Altered Beast."
