Great list, fun to read. Shame Onimusha 3 didn't make the list - if ever a game needed a remake/re-release, that's one.

Thanks for reading! ...For real though!! I'm guessing the Onimusha 1 remake probably didn't sell that well, and Onimusha 3 wasn't even a big deal when it came out, so it's probably not gonna happen... Weirder things have happened though.

Onimusha 1 is not that good though, they really should have done 3...

Boring story, do not read:

I've been on a quest for like a decade, to re-play Onimusha 3 to confirm it's as cool as I remember. My original PS2 stopped reading discs in like 2009, so I bought a brand new one around 2014, with the intent to mainly play the ps2 tony hawk games, castlevania games, katamari games, and Onimusha 3.

Then I realized my brother took my Onimusha 3 (ok fine, it was his all along), and it took me a while to remember the game existed and go buy another one.

By the time I got around to playing it (years)...my TV broke. It took me another year (of laziness) to get around to buying a new TV... But I accidentally got one that doesn't have the ports in the back my PS2 cables need. (I hate buying smart tvs so I always buy the worst TV possible.)

Then I procrastinated for another year or two to buy a new cable to hook the PS2 straight into my PC monitor, because screw TVs. That didn't work, so then six months later, I bought another one.

By this time it's been like 6 years, so this newer PS2 gets disc read errors too, for many games, including Onimusha 3. I've had browser tabs open forever, on ways to open up the PS2 and try to fix disc read errors, and I'm still procrastinating on that. (I remember trying some fix on the original PS2 and it was still janky afterwards.)

So yeah, this is why backwards compatibility and/or porting games is important! I had a PS4 throughout this entire story, they should have let me play Onimusha 3 on it!!
