It’s been many years since The Mysterious Murasame Castle/Nazo no Murasame Jo was first released by Nintendo in Japan. It was released for the Family Computer Disk System/Famicom Disk System in 1986. The rest of the world didn’t know about this game until the Internet came along. I’m thinking that we need Nintendo, Atsushi Inaba (PlatinumGames), and Goichi Suda AKA Suda51 (Grasshopper Manufacture) to make a reboot of this game for Nintendo Switch or the next-gen Nintendo console, not only for Japan releases, but for Western and Eastern releases as well, with the music from the original game remade/arranged and with new music! Nintendo and PlatinumGames have had a close relationship since 2013. As for Nintendo and Suda51/Grasshopper Manufacture, I guess they also have a close relationship? I’m not sure. Anyway, the game should have more/new towns, more/new fields, more/new castles, more/new weapons, and more/new spells. The game should also be open world. There are also other things I’d like in this reboot. This list may contain the aforementioned:

- Sandbox areas. (For example, Aosame Town, fields, and castle all in one sandbox. You beat the castle and move to the next, but you can travel back to other regions by some means.)

- Keep enemies easy to dispatch. Make up for it by having hordes of them after you. Limited health like in the original will be the true challenge. 3 bars is perfect.

- Maybe make enemies from chapters ahead be stronger while you level up as well.

- Be able to stock items.

- Give it an Uprising treatment. More characters (NPCs) that bring more lore and life to the story. Maybe be able to equip other weapons with different effects. Like spear has longer range, but it’s slower, etc.

- More Magic would be sweet.

- Backstory for Takamaru explained.

The game should also have multiple composers. Nine of them should be Koji Kondo, the composer of the original game, Noriyuki Asakura, Hideki Sakamoto, Masami Ueda, Tetsuya Shibata, Norihiko Hibino, Takahiro Izutani, Akira Yamaoka, and Masafumi Takada. Anyway, we gotta get Takamaru back! And hopefully, they could make a BIG franchise out of this game! The three main composers of the franchise should be, of course, Koji Kondo, Noriyuki Asakura, and Hideki Sakamoto. But hopefully, Noriyuki Asakura and Hideki Sakamoto will still get to freelance and do music for other things. Oh! And hopefully, Takamaru will be added as a playable character in Super Smash Bros.

Oh, and there should also be a Musou spin-off of this game developed by Koei Tecmo's Omega Force.
