To be honest, I agree with n00b. Reviving such an old franchise which, in itself, is fan-service for older players, by putting it through such a radical transformation is not the way to go. Either they make something at least familiar (not some random green hare with a malformed head shooting snakes), or at least on the platform the original game used to be.

Remember JJA? No, me neither. The fact that it was on a GBA was alone the reason the game played so differently (read:crappily). I think the best way to go would be to just put time into making it on the PC, and actually listen to the fanbase.

Of course, what I've just said is obsolete until they actually announce the game.
