Bushido Blade: Should it come back?

This is more or less just me posting something that I would like to make as a game.

If you are not familiar with Bushido Blade, it was a series of 2 games on the ps1 that was known for amazing collision detection and using the idea if a sword gets you in the face, you are dead. PERIOD. It is highly regarded and is one of the overlooked fighting games of that generation. Why do I bring this game up?

I want to make a new one but better!

Would it be "Bushido Blade" persay? Maybe not, but I would love to buy the rights to it so I can get a team to work on it. I would have a story mode that makes you create a character as well as the roster that is already there. Much like the originals, it would not matter as much who you chose as a character (though I would have stats to back up the choice of who and what they are good with) but the choice in the many weapons is what would matter. A game like Bushiod Blade could have lasted an hour or even a few second depending on how well thought out your moves were.

As a community who loves games about souls and swords, what do you think of this Idea? Should one of my games be an quest to remake and revolutionize the fighting game market by making a game that is or like Bushido blade? I would like to hear your thoughts.
 
Well, it could be good, but nothing gets me going better than a good arcade game like Soul Calibur.

I prefer my games to not be super realistic, I like bouncy females and no blood :P

But I like a huge depths of moves and lots of stuff to memorize and adapt to.
 
Kengo is apparently the successor to Bushido Blade 2. All of them turned out to be remarkably terrible.

As for a remake to BB, I'm pretty sure enough people are jaded by the current fighting game oligopoly to play it.

There is a market for it. With how fighting games are going, at the very least it will be a breath of fresh air.

Kengo lacked something that the BB games had: Collision detection and well made animations. Kengo was choppy at best.

The only other games to try their hands at this kind of game are the recent download games from deadliest warrior. The problem with those is that the AI is stupidly difficult and the controls are stiff.

Knowing these faults, I know what I can do to prevent these. More over, If i have a number of weapons that all balance the gameplay, I think it will not only revolutionize the market for fighting games, but would have a pretty long lasting life span.
 
To that end good luck. Provided the art style is appealing to me I would buy it. Of course I do not buy games that's art is super realistic, but that is me.
