Shinji Mikami, the visionary behind Resident Evil and other iconic video games, has expressed his desire to revisit a game that inspired his legendary series. In an interview with Eurogamer at Gamescom, Mikami mentioned Sweet Home, a 1989 Famicom title directed by his mentor Tokuro Fujiwara, as the game he’d like to remake. Though not involved in its creation, Sweet Home played a pivotal role in shaping Resident Evil’s development.

Key Points:

• Shinji Mikami would like to remake Sweet Home, influenced by Tokuro Fujiwara’s work and the inspiration behind Resident Evil.
• Licensing issues and the current project portfolio of Kamuy Inc., Mikami’s own company, pose obstacles to the potential remake.

Would a modern remaster of Sweet Home with contemporary graphics and gameplay improvements be worth revisiting for fans, or should it remain a nostalgic gem from the Famicom era?
