This year, Capcom will be bringing DuckTales Remastered and Dungeons and Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara to the Wii U, as well as other systems. Remakes of two beloved past classics, these titles are apparently just the tip of the iceberg.
Speaking to Polygon, Capcom's senior product manager Matt Dahlgren and associate manager of global marketing relations Dan Pantumsinchai have revealed that other fan favourites could get the remake treatment, too.
While the pair couldn't devulge exactly which games are in the pipeline, they did reveal the title which fans have been asking for the most: the 1994 side-scrolling 2D fighter Aliens vs. Predator. The game has never been ported to any home system — the closest it ever got was a rumoured conversion for Sega's ill-fated 32X, which never happened. As massive fans of the game — and the side-scrolling brawler genre in general — we'd love to see it get a second chance, assuming Capcom can negotiate a new license with 20th Century Fox.
What other Capcom classics would you like to see given a new lease of life? Ghouls 'n Ghosts? Knights of the Round? LED Storm? Strider? Willow? Post a comment to tell us.

Knights of the Round remake please. Heck, just take on online multi and you can release all the beat em ups you want. That would be great fun on the Wii U!
Ghouls 'n Ghosts would be pretty nice, indeed!
chip and dale rescue rangers
You forgot to mention Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. That was one of Capcoms best beat em ups ever.
I'd like to see a Captain Commando remake
Captain Commando! Ah, and yes, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs.
Breath of Fire
@ferthepoet Nice choice!
Demons Crest, with awesome high def 2D graphics like Rayman Legends.
There's heaps of Capcom games I'd like to see remade. Black Tiger, Magic Sword, King of Dragons, Knights of the Round, Strider, Forgotten Worlds, Demons Crest, Willow, Ghouls n Ghosts, pretty much most of their 2D arcade games. Oh, and can't forget Red Earth, would love a Red Earth remake.
The other ones mentioned plus SATURDAY NIGHT SLAM MASTERS!
I just want another Mega Man game.
Ducktails 2 and little nemo dream master haha. Megaman 2 and megaman x would be super cool too.
Count me in for Cadillacs & Dinosaurs and Captain Commando, plus The Punisher. Also, if it's not too much trouble... Disney's Aladdin? It was a great game!
Trojan
@MeowGravy i like how you think.
Maximo hd, onimusha hd and vieutiful joe hd is the most i want.
@emeyece @majinx07
Here, here! Captain Commando for sure!
Also, while they're doing Disney games, I'd like to see a remake of Aladdin. That game was pretty challenging on SNES.
The Aliens vs Predator game would be fantastic, I think it should have been avaliable online long ago.
I suggested Red Earth/ Warzard in the survey. I´ve never played it but it seems very interesting. Looking forward to the translated D&D!
I'm surprised no-one has mentioned for a Power Stone remake.
And if possible, remake the Misadventures of Tron Bonne!
Mega Man X9, SNES style.
I'd love to see a retro remake of Aliens vs. Predator.
To be fair, the only thing I think that game could benefit from is slightly more accurate shadow shapes on the characters/enemies, as opposed to always being basic circles, but that's just being picky.
The rest of the game still looks awesome and in fact far more visually appealing than most modern games imo.
street fighter ex and alpha remakes with online please
AVP ate a lot of coins when I was younger. Truly Capcom is sitting on a gold mine of classic games in their CPS hardware range. But will they get the linceses to re-release them? I was happy they managed to make it so with "Dungeons & Dragons", so I keep hoping for ome "Area 88" // "UN Squadron" love along the way... and "Strider ]|[", of course.
How about the 1990 Arcade hit from Japan, "NEMO"? It's based on the film "Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland" which was animated by Tokyo Movie Shinsha, and supposedly distributed by Toho Company in Japan in 1989, before making it's way to here, in North America, in 1992.
I have all of this on my CPS emulator, but I would definitely double dip being a huge fan of Capcom's classics from the 90's and early 00's. Can't front....Capcom was running things back then. LOL
@Rawk_Hawk I was thinking the same thing. Cadillac & Dinosaurs was AWESOME!!!!
Gunsmoke was fun.
Punisher
Why do you only get to play as predator or marines in that alien game? That was always my complaint.
@shonenjump86 Oh yeah. Punisher and Nick Fury! That game was awesome. Wait..was it Nick Fury or Luke Cage. Welp, here I come Google.
Please do bring Alien Vs.Predator, as well as Cadillacs & Dinosaurs and The Punisher.
Breath of Fire, please!
avsp, fav arcade game of all time, hands down
Cadillacs & Dinosaurs, King of Dragons, Knights of the Round, UN Squadron, Alien vs. Predator, Stirder... So many greats Capcom, that you used to make.
Little nemo the dream master is a must. I still have that nes classic and play regularly.
Knights of the Round. Do it.
@shonenjump86 Yes! Great choice!
Strider, Strider and uhhh... Oh, what the hell... how about Strider?
And for dessert: Final Fight, Punisher, Cs&Ds, Forgotten Worlds, King of Dragons, Willow, Magic Sword, 3 Wonders. I like dessert...
I thought you guys meant the Super Nintendo AVP, which is pretty awesome too.
Oh and I totally have a Celtic Predator mask and a Facehugger plushie, if anyone thinks they're a big fan. >:3
You'd realise that if Capcom was actually listening to fan demand they would have made a new Mega Man game by now.
Ghouls N Ghosts Please!!!!
they can bring any retro game and its a win
3DS versions too please.
Dark Void Zero anyone? I know it's a fake retro game but it was epic!!!!
Strider HD?
Oooh, AVP would be very nice.
Commando & Gun.Smoke returning or given a sequel would be great!
Cadillacs & Dinosaurs, Demon's Crest.......and.....Trojan. Make it happen, Capcom!!!
Ghouls N Ghosts. Because today's games are just too easy.
just give me Captain Commando for arcade or SNES on Wii U or 3dS Virtual console!!
Yeah a Well done GNG would be amaaazing
Man oh Man I hope they do a remake for Goof Troop for the SNES that was one of my all time favorites!
Yes please get AVP on consoles. I've wanted a home port of this since the fifth grade!
Knights of the Round
