    Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

    Didn’t they already confirm there will be no more remakes?
    Remaking a Jpop design would probably go over badly right now. Hopefully he doesn’t get any royalties, but hard to say with how the licensing may work.
    Local Pinhead buddy just picked up up TOM and ToTAN. Great game, remake? Unlikely.

    Thought that was the rumor. One more remake (CCr) and then new titles. That's why they developed new architecture and hired on people like Lyman. If true, they might want to rethink that given the new crazy market. They just sold 1250 CCr LE's in a matter of minutes. Probably do just as well selling a unique title coded by Lyman. Not sure which is easier but remakes already come with completed layouts and code. Be great to have both - one game a year alternating between a remake and unique title.

    At this point, I don't think there are any bad candidates for remakes. CGC would sell every game they could produce of any popular A/B title. Makes no difference how many were originally produced or how much they trade for.

    Quoted from jfh:

    Never say never but I’ll be quite surprised TZ is ever remade. But there is a group of people absolutely convinced it’s next.

    Makes no sense to me either but would be cool to see since I love TZ. It seems like something like TOM or TOTAN would be better choices with what they have been doing. You would have to change tooling for widebody and deal with extra licensing for TZ. In general it would be more expensive to build so less profits unless you jack up prices. And that's on a game that sold more than 15000 which is a whole lot more than all the other remakes. TAF would be far better choice if they are going to go in that direction.
