Xenoblade Chronicles took years to come to North America. I remember seeing multiple petitions trying to get it released over here.

Very clever, only problem is it’s not a general solution.

Actually no. This year was the last spring forward, at least for the US. We’re not falling back to standard time this year and never will again.

I’m curious how these numbers compare to kbin.social.

Edit: I’m stupid, all the numbers are in the link at the bottom of the OP.

I’m on Kbin. That was the case a few days ago when I joined, but they’ve since rolled it back and most of the content I’m seeing here is from Lemmy.

Not that Picross isn’t a game, but there are speedruns of Microsoft Excel. I’m not convinced something having a speedrun proves it’s status as a game.

I’m actually against the idea of a reboot / remake for most of the games listed here. They’re already good games, a modern update would only serve render them obsolete in the minds of many and reduce the lasting cultural impact of the original titles. Re releases of the original versions, sure, but full on reboots / remakes, absolutely not.

I believe that, like film, game remakes should be reserved for titles that had potential they never lived up to, or where a developer has a fresh interpretation of a title that doesn’t supplant the original, such as the case with Final Fantasy VII.
To that end, some games I personally would like to see remade or rebooted are Whiplash, Jurassic Park Trespasser, Sonic 06, Enter The Matrix, and Nightmare Creatures.
