Topic: Gamecube Re-releases on 3DS?

Do you think it is possible or a nice idea to re-release classic gamecube games on the 3DS and add 3D capabilities in them?

no that's a horrible idea.

I Think, Nintendo has made all the money they need on Re-makes

whether its possible or a good idea, I can't imagine it happening. The Wii is already a means to play old GC games.

lmao, I agree with JumpMad. I'd like to see some original content, plz.

Please no more remakes of games you could already play on your Wii. It makes absolutely no sense to me since most hardcore gamers who will buy a 3DS have most likely a Wii, too. I would love to see remakes of rare and older Nintendo classics like Earthbound. But all these remakes of last generation's bestsellers are just lousy cash-ins in my opinion. Especially when a next-gen console is already backwards compatible.

Do we really need "New Play Control now in 3D"-releases? My answer is NO! First of all I want new games on 3DS (with some new franchises) and the handheld Virtual Console with many Gameboy/GBC/GBA classics. Nintendo should reduce its excessive output of remakes especially on the handheld sector. I would prefer if Nintendo concentrates on delivering new franchises instead.

I think Luigi's Mansion would be awesome in 3D... Or maybe, a sequel?

Sorry guys i didn't mean it as a straight up re-make i met a gamecube game with added touch screen, voice input, and of course 3D capabilities. on top of that, it'd be portable.

I think it would be cool. I mean, sense they don't sell them any more, I think it would kinda nice to get some that I missed out on.

I would like to see Some games like wind waker not a ton of games like a new npc series.

Well, since we're getting 64 remakes, I'm thinking we'll get GC remakes on 4DS

Why not? Especially with Luigi's mansion, that game was built with 3D in mind!

The Ds 1 had super mario 64

The only game that's on the GameCube that needs a remake let alone a sequel is Kirby's Air Ride. End of topic.

I can't believe that they didn't make Super Mario Sunshine a launch title! Seriously, they amde Super Mario 64 a launch title for the DS, why not Super Mario Sunshine for 3DS?

because SM64DS was a fairly dissappointing remake outside of the bonus minigames and Sunshine is one of the least liked Mario platformers?

Because they could be making something ORIGINAL?

Because there are enough remakes announced already?

not just that but:

• even though the GBA was the home to most SNES ports some made it to the GBC
• some NES ports found a home on the GBC but there were probably more on the original GB
• the GBA was known for its SNES ports but the best SNES ports appeared on the DS (Chrono Trigger, Yoshi's Island)

I know some people own every system and every game from every past system but most people don't. I don't think its crazy to think that the 3DS will end up with a bigger install base than the SNES, N64 and Gamecube. More to the point, if people are happy to buy a 3DS version of Wind Waker or Luigi's Mansion or even Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64. Why not do it? If you own all the past games then nobody is forcing you to buy it. These "normal people" on the other hand are more than happy to pay money for it.... do you want them to leave the platform?

There is also the argument that doing remakes takes development time/money away from making new IPs. I doubt that. What's more likely to happen is that they put some people on these comparatively easy games and then rake in the cash. Cash that they can then spend on the R&D which is used to make those risky new ideas work. If it wasn't for the newbies buying New Play Control Pikmin and such there wouldn't be a 3DS.

If that was so, I wouldnt be buying any rated T + Games, I dont need to be in a hospital nice joke

@skywake Actually yoshis island DS wasn't a remake and they had yoshi's island on the GBA.

@soccer686 yup, but it was sooooo close to the original that its more of a remake than a sequel or re-imagining. There are even a few levels in it that are copied exactly from the original..... all up though, I think its fair to say that the DS "remake" was a better quality "port" than the GBA version.
