Not necessarily a 'dream game' but I think one title that could use a remaster is the NES version of Strider. Yes, I'm aware of Strider 2014, and it's good. But I pick this title because a remaster would be an opportunity to actually release the completed game as it was intended. This game was scrapped for the Famicom, but ended up being released for the NES, and those who have played it can attest to it being playable, but buggy and unpolished. My dream remaster would include fixed item and walljumping. Austrailia would be redone so that it isn't just a retread of Africa, and LA could be extended to include more than just a redone bossfight. Speaking of bosses, I'd add more than just the 4 or so that are recycled throughout the game, but I'd keep the boss gauntlet at the end of the game. Lastly, as a final touch, I'd include the companion Manga that was made alongside the game as a completion bonus.

tl;dr Strider on NES is buggy and unfinished, and could actually use a remake.

This would be the GOAT in the NES library if not for the god awful controls. Change my mind.

> good music
> good graphics
> exploration and some backtracking but not metroid retardation amounts
