This game is an unbelievably funny and also smart. There was a PC version released back in the day so there is some probability this game gets a GOG treatment. Everything depends on Konami I guess.
I don't remember much about this game, but the parts I do are permanently stuck in my brain. Comically large blood sprays when you take out living enemies (to the point where the volume of blood wouldn't fit in a human), the same animation spraying out gravel when you kill a golem, and archers and flying archers being super good. I'd love to play this again and remember the actual game itself.
I never finished Vandal Hearts despite absolutely loving the game's sequel, but I really like what I played. Every character has a unique class, the story is really engaging and pulls you in with its political drama, and best of all, when you annihilate an enemy you witness an epic blood geyser shoot out from their sprite. Given Konami's push to bring back Suikoden with the remaster of I & II, they really need to do Vandal Hearts, next! Unfortunately the PC version was only released in Japan/Asia as far as I'm aware, so I can't speak to the quality of it, but I really hope something can be done to bring it back for worldwide audiences. Honestly can't believe VHI and II have never been re-released, ever (not even as a PSone Classic on PS3/PSP/Vita).

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind WakerThe Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is the 10th sequel of the Legend of Zelda action-adventure series. It's the first game of the series to be set on a group of islands in the sea. Therefore, many of Link's actions base on sailing and travelling from island to island, making a baton for controlling the wind the key item of the game.
Wind Waker is the first game of the Series with a cel-shaded graphic style. Since fans expected a Zelda game with realistic graphics like being shown at the Space World in 2000, the cel-shading look was critisized and discussed controversial for being too cartoonish.Action Fantasy
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight PrincessThe Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was initially developed with the Nintendo GameCube in mind, but ended up receiving a Wii port when it was released to promote the new console. This version has motion control compatibility for the sword and pointer controls for the menus, the bow and the boomerang. This version of the game has a completely inverted map and locations when comparing with the GameCube release. The change in layout was meant to adapt Link's usually left-handed design to right-handed people, given the motion controls.Action Fantasy
