I know it's impossible, but I would absolutely love if they re-did Twilight Princess into the artstyle of the original ZeldaU demo (When he fights the giant spider). That was the first Zelda thing in about 10 years that was exciting and had me on the edge of my seat!
Wow, this Link looks horrible.
He seriously looks like a Disney Pixar villain. No, not villain, they tend to look cooler.
But pretty much like a lonely school bully.
Never want to come down, never want to put my feet back down on the ground.
This is one area Nintendo is super backwards on. They really need a dedicated team the just churns out HD remasters of old titles.
Imagine all the NES, SNES, N64, GameCube & Wii Games (Mario, Zelda, Starfox) remastered in HD.
Especially with the Mario Maker platform, they could easily release a NES Mario HD game collection with HD switchable skins for classic and modern. They could do the same for Zelda, etc. So simple. Heck, bootleggers have been doing it for years.

Ain't nobody need that. Besides, what are they going to do? Remasters only really make sense for 3D-rendered games. 64, duh, but all of the other Mario games look fine. The best series to remake would be Metroid Prime, but they really just need to make a new one now. Sure, they could remake A Link to the Past if they hadn't already released a quasi-new game doing just that.
I think the path forward for Nintendo is to reestablish themselves as talented, prolific developers in the present tense. I'd be happy to wait 10 years for TPHD, etc and so on.
That kind of looks like a CGI cartoon with a budget of about $40.
So yeah, Clone Wars.
Whereas the Zelda U tech demo had a budget of ~$50~.
No. It probably had a budget of at least $5000 for a tech demo that was worth a look. That's how good those graphics were when they showed it. The price gets lowered after they figure it out.
That's why I am saying they probably won't make an HD remake of TP(anytime soon), because it's basically impossible to expect anything less than the 2011 tech demo. anymore. Zelda U has pretty good graphics for the type of game it is, IMO, but the Zelda tech demo was the best example for the type of graphics TP had in the first place, which is why I'm not comparing the tech demo to Zelda U, but why I would still think a TP HD remake should have the tech demo graphics.
Remakes of past entries have had better graphics than later entries in the series(obviously), by storyline, which is why even if one did happen, I think it would happen after Zelda U has already released.

Well given that this is the sort of NES "HD remaster" that gets the best reception....
........... how about we just "live" with the Virtual Console for pre-N64 era games?
HD remasters are a good way to get people into the ecosystem who are late adopters or that maybe didn't buy your last system. All of those HD remasters that came at the end of the PS3's life were a great way to drop maybe $400 and get a good system with a couple dozen fantastic games.
So kind of pointless on Wii U, since there aren't going to be many late adopters and let's be honest, everyone has a Wii, nobody has a Wii U. But maybe not a bad idea towards the end of the NX.
So Anakin kneels before Monster Mash and pledges his loyalty to the graveyard smash.
Well, all the companies basically can't get away with ignoring BC through your online account, anymore, so it might not even matter when they release a supposed HD remake. The Nintendo Account might (will probably) have all this worked out, so it doesn't really matter what Nintendo's next system is as long as a supposed TP HD remake runs on it, in terms of console life cycle.
That's why PS Now exists and why your PS4 being unable to run things you bought on PS3 isn't really all that good of a sign, because they should have already done what Xbox One is with Xbox 360 support, especially if the software and console sales actually matter anything over Xbox; for the consumer.
That's also why Banjo Kazooie won't ever be anything over 1080p, unless Phil Spencer goes crazy in the office or something like that.
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door HD would be neat.
At least that way I could play it. Darn gamecube disc and its "the wii is too mainstream, I only work on the gamecube" mentality.
Original Wiis play gamecube discs—I still have mine from '06 and it works fine.
And I hope you all see the utter futility of creating an HD 'remaster' of a game composed of 2D FREAKIN' SPRITES.
What I see when I think of Paper Mario HD:
What you see when you think of Paper Mario HD:
I have bought the game multiple times (used), it's the one and only game cube game my two wiis could never read. It starts, but then gives an error shortly after.
Anyway, you're aware 2d sprites and textures can also get better definition, right?

Strange. That's a lot of combinations so it'd have to be a helluva coincidence. I played it on my original Wii just this summer—worked fine.
Anyway, you're aware 2d sprites and textures can also get better definition, right?
I am if you're aware of how the phrase 'paper: now in HD' sounds. Honestly, the gamecube is more than sufficient to render simple, brightly-colored 2D sprites. I don't see the purpose in HDing those games, even for the backgrounds...
Even just re-rendering the output at 1080p would be a marked improvement though. It's better than stretching a 480i 4:3 Gamecube native image onto an HDTV. There's stretching and blur, artifacts, and other imperfections.
It's hard to find screenshots of non-emulated Gamecube games these days, but here's an image I took from NintendoLife itself, so it should be legitimate. And I've stretched it to 1920x1080.
They still looked fine, though. I played through all my GCN games again, just because I had a 720p HDTV in 2009. That's why none of this is actually all that high of a step if you already played them. Remake was basically the same on Wii through component as it was on PS4 and Xbox One, taking time of release into account. That is why I don't care about buying them again(for most reasons), why Banjo Kazooie shouldn't get a remake, IMO, and why people should feel fine about playing them on these consoles, anyway.
EDIT: This is only from my perspective, because of aforementioned reasons.
I think it varies depending on the game. Four Swords Adventures - which mixes 2D and 3D elements - looks lovely on my TV but I've had mixed results from different titles across different consoles. On the GC/Wii Pikmin 2 is odd looking and Twilight Princess is a horror of blurry jaggy proportions but Wind Waker is still gorgeous. Another thing to bear in mind is that not all HDTVs are equal in terms of upscaling ability so while it may look good on my TV it might not on another person's. Still, nothing beats the clarity a good HD remaster offers.
