Team Talk: Which old game should get new DLC?

---

Mario’s latest leap onto the Nintendo Switch is a re-release of Super Mario 3D World from the Wii U. It also includes the all-new Bowser’s Fury add-on, which got us wondering which other old games might benefit from a new slice of gameplay.

Which game from days gone by has you keen to take another bite of the cherry? Let us know in the comments.

Liam | The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
 
With this being the anniversary year of the Zelda franchise, I’d like to see Nintendo give one of my all-time favourite games, The Wind Waker, the Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury treatment to celebrate.
 
A Switch port of the 2016 HD remake is pretty likely, and even though I’d happily play through the original content as is, it’d be nice to have an additional new experience as well - something akin to 3D World's Bowser’s Fury expansion. What would be really great is if it were inspired by Phantom Hourglass, the Nintendo DS sequel to Wind Waker.
 
It’d obviously be a big ask, considering that the game would pretty much have to be rebuilt from the ground up to work on Nintendo Switch (it’s only got one screen, after all) and the 20-hour length would likely need trimming down, but it’d still be amazing to see Phantom Hourglass given a second chance.
 
Nintendo have shown they aren’t averse to modernising older Zelda titles on Switch, as we saw with the excellent Link’s Awakening remake. Recent patent renewals of Phantom Hourglass could also point to some sort of revival, so there’s a chance, albeit a slim one, that my hopes will become reality.

Getting this on Switch might take some work, it doesn't even fit the page properly.

James | Dragon Age: Origins

Being a huge fan of “classic” BioWare you might think I’d be content with the upcoming Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, but in fact I have a yearning for the more fantasy setting of Dragon Age.

With the next installment (possibly a soft reboot?) already on the way, it’s very unlikely, but having not been on Xbox 360 at quite the right time, I missed the much-lauded inception of the series.

Given the gameplay improvements noted even in the mired sequel, to get an exciting new area would make the already substantial DA:O (especially accounting for Awakening, its existing expansion) rival the likes of Skyrim in terms of fantasy RPG scope.

More isn’t always better, so it would need to be driven by a compelling story - a must-have for all BioWare adventures worth their salt - but with the breadth to explore within the genre there’s surely plenty of ideas left on the table.

BioWare’s more recent output has hardly been knocking it out of the park, so a return to familiarity could be just what fans need, and a perfect alternative to the sci-fi adventures of Mass Effect​.

Many of us Mass Effect aficionados missed out on BioWare's fantasy epic.

Sam | Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

MGS3 is an all-time classic that already has an HD re-release under its bandana. The chronological sequel, however, does not.

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops is a mainline entry in the iconic series that most players missed. Hell, I owned it and never finished it because playing with a single analogue stick was plain gruelling. If the PSP game was released as DLC for the MGS HD Collection, or bundled with a remastered version of Snake Eater, that problem would be solved.

It’s a long shot with Konami at the helm, but handheld stablemate Peace Walker held up incredibly well on consoles. Accounting for that and the fact that MGS3 has already received a lauded visual remaster, which unfortunately belongs to a tie-in pachinko machine, there’s real potential here.

In terms of all-new content, Portable Ops sees players rejoin Big Boss six years after the events of Snake Eater. What better reason could there possibly be to bridge the gap between entries via a new expansion?

With Sony rumoured to be pursuing a purchase of dormant Konami IP, maybe the PlayStation manufacturer will see this dream become a reality on PS5.

Would it need a name change if it came to home consoles?
