Nintendo will be entering the brave world of HD later this year with the release of the Wii U and whether you like it or not, Nintendo is going to release HD remasters of classic games for the launch and probably at least for the first year afterward. We’ve seen ports happen for every Nintendo console since day one, the NES had arcade ports, the Super Nintendo had NES ports and the Wii U will no doubt see ports from the previous consoles.
Relive the golden age of gaming with these timeless video games. From Wind Waker to Monkey Island, get ready for a nostalgia-filled ride.
I'd put Street Fighter 2 over 3. 2 and all its different versions dominated the arcade scene back in the day in a way that 3 never did.
Ms Pacman?
Robotron?
SSF2 Turbo over 3 simply by the 10000000000's ports of the game we're still having
Castlevania SOTN?
Zelda Link to the Past over Wind Waker
Super Mario Bros 3?
Chrono Trigger?
Resident evil4?
COD MW2 (the original)?
Uncharted 2
Metal Gear Solid?
Here's my reasoning for all of them versus the list proposed in the article.
They are still quite enjoyable from start to finish on their original platform, unlike some Wind Waker or Okami that are fun when you play the remastered version (unless you call: forced to watch a 20-minute cutscene or have to blow for wind chance constantly fun).
Some of them are the pinnacle of what the console could do (MGS, Chrono, MGS)
Lots of them are still considered the go-to-go game for their genre.
F-Zero 99 is a fantastic new way to play the franchise, but it falls far short of a new game built for modern hardware.
I would have loved a F-Zero GX remake, not remaster, or a brand new F-Zero game.😞
Was Tetris 99 a new game built for modern hardware? What about Mario 99?
Does this person not know that Fzero 99 is built on the SNES title? Were they actually expecting a brand new Fzero game? hahahahaha
Also, what's with all of the spammy ass tags?
Let’s break out the wine glasses and celebrate the legacy of the last great entry in this overlooked Nintendo racing franchise with F-Zero GX!
I bought this for GameCube the day it released, it was fantastic and I think a Switch port would totally hold up as well as Metroid Prime did. I would buy this again…
Does that say something good for the game or something bad about the progress of graphics over 20 years?
It would be a day one buy for me if this was re-released on the Switch. My favorite racing game on the Switch is Fast RMX. I would like a sequel to that game as well.
The AX tracks are hidden on GX on the GameCube. Weird how you can only access them using a Datel cheat disc.
Absolutely loved this game. Nintendo needs to stop messing around and give us a new F-Zero.
I think they're scared of releasing a new entry after all this time and the sales don't meet their expectations. There are very few racing games I'd pay full price for, but a new F-Zero? I would get a limited edition if they offered it.
Because their 3D remakes on the 3DS were that well received? If people did not want to pick up a remastered version of Ocarina of Time with improved graphics, what makes anyone think that people will go for an updated version of Wind Waker or Twilight Princess in HD?
It's unfortunate since OoT 3D is actually quite good. People seem to have had enough with rereleases though.
As for old school titles, just let me import my Wii VC games. That's better than buying them again.
I wouldn't say people are over remakes. I see people constantly talk about old games they'd love to see on todays consoles with modern graphics.
Not to mention the 3ds is a handheld with a screen so small it hurts my eyes after more than a few minutes. I could see them doing some kind of HD collection like MGS just did.
Oh my gods yes to the Rogue Squadron games and Episode I racer(One my my N64 favs).
And to everything else on the list. Take my money!
donkey kong 64, or star fox 64 would be much welcomed but true hd remakes because the 3ds doesnt represent the views of older nintendo fans, so as to if they were well received on the 3ds doesnt mean much, it still after all is only a handheld system so...when has the nintendo community ever been on the same page when it comes to handheld games and console games that nintendo puts out.
making older games suitable for HD resolution, and maybe polishing some rough edges is good enough.
I think doing entire remakes is time that could have been spent on making new games.
