Yeah, it sort of destroys everything that is X-Com. I mean, none of the aliens are coming back (no Sectoids, no Chrysalids), there do not appear to be any random missions (there are different mission paths based on your choices, but that seems to be it), and there is no tactical combat. [sarcasm]Oh, but we do have researching alien tech. So that makes it ok.[/sarcasm]
I would say Secret of Mana, but I would rather just get a straight port of that game. None of its sequels have done it justice, and it is one of the best SNES games ever, and it still has yet to grace my handheld.
Ooh, HD remake: Super Metroid. Just make it even prettier.
