I wasn't going to buy anything downloadable online ever, but this video is probably going to change my mind. From the moment the original 8-bit footage was shown to the transition to the modern gameplay footage, I was sold. Definitely can't wait for this game.

Whichever branch of Capcom worked on this did a very nice job...very nostalgic and the tweaks don't seem to subtract from the original. Great OC-like remix, too!

If they'd only allow jumping in the game. At least you can pick up those pesky, progress-stopping barrels now ;)

Since Hitler and the Nazis won't be in the game…

M. Bison should be the final boss since he looks a lot like the current guy according to the concept art.

Guile and Cammy should be available as reinforcements or selectable for co-op play.

Imagine fighting all those Shadowloo baddies instead of the "Imperials".

huge crossover potential here

I wonder if Konami would consider remaking Castlevania 2 and 4 this way?

Somebody needs to make publishers realize that there's a ginormous market for these gameplay faithful/graphical re-imagining of classic console titles.

Hope it's Capcom. I for one have some very, very deep pockes when it comes to nostalgia, and can think of about 100 games that deserve a fresh coat of paint and my $10-$15.

Never played the NES original, but this looks like the way to do classic updates. If you read the IGN article, the Capcom guy talks about wanting to remake other old-school games...Mega Man Powered Up for XBLA? Strider? This could be the start of something sweet.

@Ishmae1: I don't know if they're keeping the Hitler 'splodin in (But man I hope so) but the interview at IGN says they're keeping the story the same, just expanding on it. The team that's working on it tried to get feedback as much as possible from people who worked on the original.

I saw this earlier today and I shit bricks immediately. Capcom is doing what so many companies have failed to do for years(with the exception of Castlevania and Rygar) by making this remake. It stays completely true to the original. Level layouts are recognizable from the start, music is the same with a modern beat, and they added co-op. If others companies (I'M LOOKING AT YOU SEGA) will follow suit we could have some great games to look forward too. I'd love Altered Beast, Golden Axe, Double Dragon, Final Fight, etc.. to be given this kind of treatment.

Revenge_of_Nekojin — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 15:48:59 MST

It looks great, and to the people wondering, it's quite obviously based on the NES/Gameboy versions (the commo room at the end, plus a few of the levels are a giveaway).

There's no doubt that I'll be buying this when it comes. However, I'm a little worried about just one thing; part of what made the NES version great was the controls. I hope they're faithful or at least really good.

Dreamwriter — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 15:27:17 MST

Yeah, without knowing if this is the NES version or not, we can't tell if it'll be any good - the NES version added some adventure elements missing from the arcade.

I also kinda wish the graphics were hand-drawn, not 3D rendered. But I guess they didn't want to spend too much time/money on the game, and 2D art is harder to do than 3D anymore.
