Metal Gear
Mega Man X
Dragon Quest
Castlevania
All Disney 2D platformers from the 80's and 90's
Nintendo-Rare
Mario Kart
 
Metal Gear, Castlevania and Silent Hill all need it, but Konami. etc

Marvel, Warner Bros. and Disney 90s platformer collections also need to be a thing

Xenosaga.

Dont care how or on what platform, Xenosaga needs a rerelease in some capacity.

Xeno Unity.

Xenogears
Xenosaga Trilogy
Xenoblade Chronicles + X

Three publishers. Six games. Reveals strange connections and teases a return to Fei and Elhaym.

What? I got really drunk one night and had a fever dream.

LOL, I wouldnt go that far.
 
Final Fantasy Adventure
Secret of Mana
Secret of Mana 2 (English translated)
Secret of Evermore

Cmon Square and whatever other company is doing the collection.
 
Can we please get all the Call of Duty games in one place, for Pete's sake?

Heh. Just kidding.

Seriously...how about F-Zero? 6 games, 4 systems, and I'm pretty sure only the original SNES has been on any other system (Virtual Console, Wii & Wii U).

Put the arcade version of 1 and AX in there, too, even if they're barely different.

Another vote for Castlevania, but I'd also like to see 2D Metroid games and the 16-bit classic underrated series Aero The Acro-Bat.
 
Honestly the Legacy Collections seem to be not very much in-depth, which ruins them for me. Say, I would love a NES Sunsoft Legacy Collection since combined with Virtual Console and other retro compilations it would allow me to basically stop considering buying an NES. But then I imagine them skipping something like Gimmick and arrrrrrgh.

I wonder why didn't Konami release MD Castlevania on Wii Shop, by the way. Though they didn't release Dracula X either - that came out on 3DS and Wii U though... Too bad there's no native MD VC on Wii U.

I love everything about these.

The annoying part is that the first and third could easily be done via PS2 Classics (which would be lazy...but whatever) but hey, I would love those too :).

That Sonic collection....I REALLY want that to happen at some point.

Or this. Dammit I'm so mad. That's such a good idea I wish it was mine.
 
Quake

Complete with all the weird one-off console versions of Quake 2. N64 Quake 2 at 1080p with a stable framerate would be great!


Burnout

The first one isn't that great, but I'd love 2 and 3 running in HD.

First one is great (but probably hasn't aged well), 2nd one sucks though. So I'd go with 3 and 4 (best one)

Oh my gobrino. I love this and will probably post in it later. <_<;

To be clear, I specifically don't want a Xenosaga collection. I want:

Xenosaga Trilogy -REMAKE-
Fold in story elements from Xenosaga The Animation, Pied Piper, I Reloaded, Freaks and Xenosaga I&II to give the most complete Saga game to date. Reworked gameplay of the engine from three (to make I and II less of a slog). Direct connection from Xenogears to Xenosaga. Standardized voice acting and character models. And the coup de grâce? New Ultimate Bosses including cameos from Xenoblade characters as well as a direct story link from Saga to Blade!
 
Mickey's Magical Quest 1-3! All using the SNES versions.

Edit: Actually, I'd like all the Mickey platformers from the SNES/Genesis era together. Gotta have that Mickey Mania!

It would be really great if Koni release date a Castlevania collection to coincide with the Netflix series that contains 1-3 from NES, Super CV 4 for SNES, Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night.

But they won't. In fact I bet they will utterly hate the positive buzz the animated series might bring.

"Fuck you for being a fan, play our Pachinko machines you pathetic sack of meat."
 
Castlevania

I want them to try to keep it cohesive and logical, though. I can't expect like 20+ games including all the Metroidvanias from current Konami and also get good emulation, presentation etc. It'd be a miracle if they didn't just do one title and give it the FFVI iOS treatment.

So all the whip-centric OG platformer ones should be by themselves first, and make sure there's as many platform variations of those as possible.

Minimum ideal for me:

Castlevania 1, 2 3 & 4
Bloodlines
Dracula X SNES
Rondo of Blood
Rondo of Blood PSP remake
Sharp X68000 + PS1 arranged version
Adventure Rebirth (Wii VC)

Just make sure the emulation is great, with some nice display options, a good main menu UI and no crap like game borders that can't be disabled (like Dracula X Chronicles had).

If you can throw the Gameboy ones in there, or weird stuff like the MSX Castlevania, go for it, but focus on quality execution of those important ones first.

The bolded would be especially lovely but it would also mean the collection would retail for like $300 minimum.
