Wishful Thinking: Remake of WolfChild

One of my favorite games on SegaCD was WolfChild. After replaying it recently I can see why this game wasn't popular; it has a thin story and difficult gameplay. But that doesn't deter my love for this game. I find the scifi-werewolf-action-platform game to be just as intriguing as it was when I first played it years ago.

I think this game should be given a second chance, with some alterations:
  1. Deeper Storyline and Plot -- Father gets kidnapped, son goes to save him. That's all well and good, but we live in an era where gamers demand substance. They want compelling characters and gripping plots... well I do at least...
  2. Different Modes -- The second level of this game, the jungle, was difficult and confusing to navigate, so I think it would be a good idea to add an easy mode for beginners.
  3. Cell-shaded Animation -- I'm hesitant to say add CGI cut-scenes, especially when the SegaCD version of the game had a very nice animated intro movie. They should remake the original intro, keeping it in the traditional American cell-style animation and making it less pixelly. I don't think a game like this would benefit from anime-styling.
  4. Extra Missions - Despite the difficulty of this game, its only five levels long. So to compensate, there should be extra missions added
What do you think of my ideas for a WolfChild Remake? Post your comments below!

Games That’d Be Great in 3D

I'm not a big fan of this new '3D' movement for movies or games. A lot of the time I feel the effects are a waste of money and aren't utilized to their full potential (and strain your eyes and brain in the process).

But here is a small list of Games that would look cool in 3D, if done properly:

  • DOOM -- Just imagine, first person shooter, aliens come running at you and you blasting them to slimy pieces, all in 3D, that would be awesome!
  • Ecco The Dolphin -- This game is beautiful in 2D, just imagine the potential in 3D.
  • Knuckles Chaotix -- This would be a fantastic co-op 3D game. The original already attempted some 3D-esque graphics, the really thing would be even cooler.
  • Corpse Killer -- first person shooter with zombies; zombies in 3D; blasting zombies in 3D. Need I say more?
  • NiGHTS -- I know the Wii sequel to the Sega Saturn original was a bomb, but imagine the original remade in full-spectrum 3D, accompanying that with an epic orchestral remake of the soundtrack. It'd be mind-blowing!
  • Ristar -- This little guy deserves another chance, in 3D. I can imagine a beutiful, spacey, stary, galactic, planet hopping adventure.

What do you think? What games do you think would look great in 3D?
