If you could take one game and modify it..., keeping the main idea of it

If you could take one game and modify it while keeping the main idea behind it, what game would you choose to modify?

Basically, if there's one game that you really loved the idea behind but really wish had gone better, which game would you choose?

For me, it would probably be Metroid Prime 3, since I loved the first two, but the second one completely destroyed the trilogy (even though it was the last one, anyways).

Sonic 2



man Sonic Team had so much planned it's not funny

i would make order of ecclesia have less grindan and more connected map

see: symphony of the night

fix'd


Also, Nuts & Bolts should have been a platformer, Sonic Unleashed didn't need a werehog, and Street Fighter IV should have been 2D.

And Sonic the Fighters should have had more characters…

And Epic Mickey should be cel-shaded…

And Kingdom Hearts should have used the original chainsaw idea…

And Mario Galaxy 2 should have came out yesterday…

And Phantasy Star Online should still be online for Dreamcast…

and- (abridged for sanity)

I'd make Pikmin 2 co-operative in the main story mode and with the ability to switch between all 3 characters.

Punch-Out WII

need more Narcis Prince and Masked Muscle
oh and a Doc Louis fight(Not the wiiware game)

Super Smash bros. Brawl

It need Geno. And a couple of more characters.

Hmm...

if we can make them more modern, OoA--no wait we're doing that already...

I'd actually have to say TP or OoT or something.

I'd say Little Big Planet but really, with all the DLC that's been coming out, plus Create mode, there's no need.

I'd probably change TP and make it more moonlike open and immersive. A little less linear. It had a great feel to it, but it felt rushed a lot of stuff never got fleshed out.

Any game in the Disgaea series and make them less grindy


the system and customization and all is nice, but it'd be great if it were executed a little better so it were possible to outsmart enemies and such rather than just GRIND GRIND GRIND two characters to uber stats and smash through the game with them

Brawl, totally...

Or Punch-Out Wii.

I'd change Myst Uru to have enough funding to have actually survived in its original form.

Brawl needed to be less floaty and more fast paced

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

-Rank up the diificulty a ton.
-Change the camera angle to OoT styled.
-Make it so you don't have to do the temple of the Ocean King a million-billion times.
-Add more originality.
-Change the amount of shades on the models to one.

uh, then it's a completely different game.

kept star wars galaxies the way it always was and not change it to be more "star warsy and iconic"

Pokémon Puzzle League -> Tetris Attack 64 (or Panel de Pon 64)
Or Lip as secret trainer with Yoshi as Pokémon to refer to the prequels.

Also, away with Subspace Emissary from Brawl and in with an improved Melee Adventure Mode. There is little to no reference to other games in the stages and most of the enemies are brand new. IT'S A FRIGGIN CROSS-OVER FREE FOR ALL!!! Redeads, Octoroks, the polarbears and those small fluffy white dudes from Ice Climber should have been left in and enemies like badniks and Kremlins should have been added and those stages should have been themed after various games.
The Subspace Emissary is also probably the reason for those character cuts. Sakurai did mention that we should not worry for they'll try to fit it on one disc.
Now that I mention it, SSE on a seperate disc could would have been better IMO.

But enough about Brawl.

Paper Mario series: Replayable bosses!

BiS
Replayable bosses
Have the "max" items actually fill it up all the way

Probably Paper Mario, as it's likely my favorite game of all-time.

I'd make a lot of those beta badges usable, make the end of the game harder, and allow you to level your stats higher than 50-50-30 (maybe 200-200-99 or such?). A Pit-of-100-Trials-esque challenge would be sweet, too. You never know, a DS remake of the original could still be possible.

That or one of the sequel SSB's, but I figure anyone can find a zillion ways to improve on SSBB, and SSBM doesn't have much lacking, IMO.

Oh, @Moneyman, heck yes to both (especially the latter).
