What are some of your favorite video game upgrades, over the years. Perhaps Kid Icarus, whose modern take, with the 2012 release of 'Uprising', was a far different take, and major upgrade, over it's previous title on the NES, which released in 1987. 1986, if you count the Japanese release. Or perhaps Pac-Man, which was a 2D, 'one screen', arcade game, when originally released. And now, is a fully 3D, in a 3D world, with many, many more characters, it's soon to be released, Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures. That's a vast upgrade too, from it's original design.
What are your thoughts on this subject, and what are some of your favorite games that have gotten a major upgrade over the years. Perhaps even a genre change. Do you like the modern take on these games better, or do you prefer the original versions. What older game would you like to see get a modern upgrade. Perhaps something that's long over due, or perhaps something that has never had a sequel. What are your thoughts.
Interesting article. Just had to share. Video games sure have come along way in a relatively short amount of time.Now and Then: 10 Classic Video Games That Got a Major Upgrade

Looking back at the most popular games of the past, it's hard to imagine how you ever thought that looked good.
Regardless of the quality, we wouldn't have insanely immersive games such as Grand Theft Auto V if it weren't for their glitchy, pixelated ancestors, so we'll forgo our harsher judgments.

1. Grand Theft Auto
2. Tomb Raider
