Turrican

While at Tokyo Game Show promoting Lair, head of Factor 5, Julian Eggebrecht was cornered by Gamasutra's Brandon Sheffield and forced to endure a question that had nothing to do with Lair or the PS3's motion controls.  The question was about bringing Factor 5's past into the future. 

Specifically, Turrican.  Even more specifically, he was asked about bringing a hi-res Turrican to console download platforms.  His response?

Yeah absolutely, both for XBLA and PSN, it’d be fantastic. I think that probably a high-res Turrican more based on the Amiga Turricans would be great on those platforms. We obviously have the Virtual Console out there on the Nintendo side, and that’d obviously work well for the Genesis and Super Nintendo Turricans. So yeah, we’re talking!

There you have it.  Hi-res Turrican (based on the Amiga versions), under discussion.  Any total cynic out there with a reason this would not be a good thing?
