Vote to bring this game to GOG and help preserve it.551
A truly preserved and modern version of this game would mean online play with rollback netcode and all of the guest characters, but rollback will be a challenge to implement, and Nintendo won't play nice and allow Link to be on other platforms. Still, it would be great to see the other two characters and maybe a model swap for Link. Even if there's no rollback, the offline version of the game deserves to be preserved on PC too. This was THE fighting game that everyone in my middle school and high school was playing when they weren't playing Melee. It's easy to learn and difficult to master, and the series really perfected most of what made it great all the way back with this second entry.
If GOG is going to add another 1v1 fighting game it should be this one, because it has tons of content and as far as I can remember it was well balanced. mind you there is character creation, and the OG game didn't have online multiplayer hence I don't know firsthand what it was like but other than that it is gorgeous in its visuals and soundtrack!

The Godfather: Blackhand EditionThe Godfather: Blackhand Edition, is the highest rated version of The Godfather on Gamerankings and IGN, despite not faring as well with other publications. It features 20 normal missions, ten new hit missions, a new rival family seen only in the new hit missions, rooftop battles, new favors, and other methods such as blackmail and bribery.
The Blackhand Edition adds a second path that the player may take through the game, that of the operator. The main method of progression is by blackmailing police, the FBI or members of other families, and what the player does or says affects the outcome. While the enforcer's goal is to destroy the other families through brute force, the operator's is to blackmail the police chiefs of the five boroughs by finding enough "dirt" on them during missions. The player then blackmails the chiefs, enabling the bribe gauge to fill to the top for free every time the player talks to the chief, effectively allowing the player to take control of the police in that area. The police fight alongside the player's family members and can also arrest or kill rival family members. The path of the operator also grants the player additional tactical abilities that are not open to the enforcer, such as enhanced and regenerating health, the ability to call in the four-man hit squad twice as often, enhanced crew damages and health, ability to plant car bombs and make instant stealth kills, and reduced price on bribing on the police and FBI.Open world Action
