It's hard to believe that Street Fighter V released only four years ago because it feels like it's been a keystone of the fighting game community for much longer.

Monster Hunter: World's Frozen Expansion, Iceborne, Slides onto PC
Long-running series are often bolstered by a very loyal fan base that can be relied on to carry a game through new iterations year after year and generation after generation.

As far as attempting to insert a level of accessibility is concerned, Capcom was slow on the draw for Monster Hunter. But in 2018, Monster Hunter: World came as a breath of fresh air to the series, and a reintroduction to a mass audience. Capcom was rewarded for their efforts in reinventing the beloved action game by becoming the mega company's best selling game of all time.

Thanks to the lofty success of downloadable HD remakes like Resident Evil, Capcom has moved to make the practice of upres-ing and re-releasing games a hard focus in their future. It’s a “key business activity,” even. So if HD remakes are our unconquerable future, I can only hope that Capcom do the right thing, and give the remake treatment to some of these blasts from their 35-year past.
