Mike from Twinfinite writes, "ESO is kind of an obvious choice for converting into this genre since it takes place in a massive world, is a fantasy game, and largely consists of fetch quests sending you to the far reaches of the map. The real question for me is why didn’t this become an MMO sooner? Anyway, it got me thinking about some other popular games and series’ from years past that I think could successfully make the jump from a single-player game to an MMO. Some of these ideas are admittedly a bit of a stretch, but there’s no harm in speculating, right?"
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Welcome to A Late Look, a series of article where I take a belated look at games from yesteryear that I missed out on the first time around. Not quite review and not quite rant, it’s more a casual assessment of what I – the gamer of the future – consider to be each game’s strengths and weaknesses in retrospect.
Just last month Nintendo released a remake of the cult-classic Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, so what better time could there possibly be to take a look not at that game, and not at its original, but at the Nintendo 64 game from 2000? None is what I say! This very first release in the Paper Mario series will also be my first entry point. So, let’s get to it."

“While everyone is currently playing the new The Thousand-Year Door remake on Switch, I went back to play its Nintendo 64 predecessor thanks to Nintendo Switch Online. So, how well does the start of the Paper Mario franchise hold up?” - Martijn van Gent from Video Chums.
Nice! Love the Deus Ex/Mass Effect ideas. A Pokemon MMO is long overdue.
Thing is TESO is actually based off a good rpg with amazing lore so the transition to Mmorpg is great, the only one off this list that would be a success is pokemon.
Mass Effect also could be a bit interesting but it would have to take place before ME3

Fallout MMO would have been far better than Elder Scrolls...
They made Skyrim and then Elder Scrolls online. I'd much rather watch them put the Elder Scrolls series on ice for Fallout at this point.
Of this bunch, Mass Effect is the obvious choice for an MMO. Wonder, though, if The Old Republic has burned EA so much that it'll never try an MMO again.
