There's some amazing gamecube and Saturn era games that would look amazing updated to current gen systems.
Eternal Darkness
Lost Kingdom
Batten Kaitos
Nights into Dreams
Guardian Heroes
Panzer Dragoon Saga
Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver
Ok I know this hasn’t gotten any posts in awhile but I thought I’d (maybe? Probably not) bring this back with a few extra games I would like to see remastered/remade.
The Rayman trilogy: honestly I got this idea from antdude talking about the Rayman series and it does look like a great series of games and I would honestly love to see Rayman 1-3 to get remade heck they could give Rayman 1 some QOL changes since I heard that the game wasn’t properly play tested.
The hamaro adventure trilogy: yet again another idea from antdude talking about the games and the games yet again look like a solid trilogy of games. Heck they could even take the opportunity to release rainbow rescue outside Europe and include that one game they made before ham-hams unite that was some sort of fortune reader as a bonus.
Rabbids go home: ok before the Rabbid haters go and hunt me down go home looks and sounds like a legitimately good game and combine the fact the game actually has a petition to release it on the switch shows that there is an audience for a remake of Rabbids go home.
The people who voted for TTYD years ago in this thread get a sticker.
Even though it would never happen, I think a smb3 remake would be neat — like one which really massively updates the graphics and changes some things. Maybe even a 're-imagining'. I feel like that is the type of game where you could have a total remake and the original and still want to play both as seperate games.
More boringly, a port/minimal remaster to get the missing new super mario games on Switch would be nice.
@FishyS
It's certainly interesting but not at all surprising that people two and a half years ago were replying to this thread with TTYD. I think TTYD is fairly unique in terms of being a stand-alone release that is both critically acclaimed and has never been re-released in any form. Not on VC, not on NSO, not as a 3DS remaster or something on a mini console. Hard to think of another title that fits in that same category, at least in Nintendo's back catalogue
In terms of my answering of this question. I think if I was asked this two years ago I probably would've said one of the 2D Zeldas. I think that's probably still a fairly good shout. But after the discussion in the Direct thread and flipping through some old games in my collection I think Twilight Princess is my answer. Partly for potential visual improvements, partly for performance improvements, partly for QoL and audio improvements..... but mostly so we have an official portable version of Twilight Princess
Some playlists: Top All Time Songs, Top Last Year
An opinion is only respectable if it can be defended. Respect people, not opinions
Also, a large glass of mountain apple juice to the ones who said Baten Kaitos, a gleaming energy orb for Metroid Prime, and a giga power band for Persona 3.
That aside, we really haven't had a lot of what people asked for. The takeaway for me is that there a heck of a lot of games that deserve a remake, but we just aren't ever going to get most of them.
I'd think that it's a pretty safe bet that the next Zelda game is going to be a remake of some sort, but precisely which one is anyone's guess. An option that rarely comes up is one or more of the multiplayer games. Aside from the blink-and-you'll-miss-it release of Four Swords Anniversary, they've never been revisited, which I'd think is something that deserves rectifying.
@Matt_Barber
There are probably several theoretical options for Zelda remakes. Some more likely than others. I think revisiting the idea of Four Swords is certainly an option but I think if it was to happen it would be in the form of "Zelda 99" or something. Not entirely sure how such a thing would work but I'm sure Nintendo has people clever enough to make it work. I could definitely see it happening
But obviously at the top of any list, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. Mostly because they're the only two "big 3D" Zelda games that aren't on the Switch and they could easily translate to fairly impressive modern releases. They're also beyond the scope of what NSO covers so they're one of only a few Zelda games you can't play on the Switch. I think just under that there's a stack of 2D Zelda games. Minish Cap, Oracle of Seasons/Ages, A Link Between Worlds and probably A Link to the Past. All potentially worthy of a "Link's Awakening HD" type treatment (although I'd personally like to see a new 2D Zelda rather than these)
Then next would be, I believe, Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask in that order. Both significant releases but NSO currently scratches that itch. Possible but surely you'd go for the GC era titles before these. After that, Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks. Both quality titles but hard to translate outside of the DS and certainly not the best regarded of the Zelda titles
.... and the NES Zeldas I think Nintendo just views as relics
Four Swords Adventures is the only Zelda game I want to get a remake. Would be nice to be able to play it properly without needing an expensive GameCube disc, four GBAs and link cables. I don't know exactly how the GBA connectivity works but maybe it could be recreated with one player's Switch being docked and the others in handheld mode, and the characters could move between the TV and the handheld Switch(es). Failing that, just release it with online multiplayer and Tetra's Trackers and I won't complain.
Thank you Nintendo for giving us Donkey Kong Jr Math on Nintendo Music
As of now, the games I hope the most will get a port/remaster/remake is the Ace Attorney Investigations duology, including an official localization for the second game. And after that is Professor Layton Vs. Ace Attorney, just so the complete series can be available on modern consoles.
Also, Bloodborne... but I expect Sony will likely utilise Bluepoint to undertake that project as a potential PS6 launch title - tie in with the film also etc
As such, the next Zelda remake we're looking at now, is probably Breath of the Wild for Switch 2.
If Breath of the Wild comes to the Switch 2, then it would be a port, not a remake. Nintendo would be crazy to remake a game of its scope (and recency) from scratch.
@SillyG I never said that they'd remake it from scratch.
Whatever you want to call it, we know that they've been demoing and improved version for Switch 2, so it'd make sense to get it into a state where it can be released.
@Matt_Barber
Honestly those games could just have a higher framerate and resolution and they'd be fine. I had a bit of a spin of TotK at a higher resolution through, ahh, various means. It was pretty good. Well, good except that the pre-rendered cutscenes are heavy compressed (which is jarring even on OG hardware) and if you run at a higher framerate dialogue goes all out of sync. But otherwise they really don't need to do much
Did BotW have the same issues with heavily compressed cutscenes that TotK had? If so I'd be down for a new version just for that. Although I don't really remember that being an issue on BotW.... maybe it was less of an issue because the cutscenes weren't as dark?
@WaveBoy you pretty much nailed a few of my wants in that list. Most notably, zelda II, star tropics, and super mario bros 2. In regards to zelda II, give the keys to a well regarded indie studio like Yacht Club or Sabotage, and let them remake it. Those guys get action platforming and I'd love to see how they'd handle it.
Having recently replayed and beaten TTYD on Switch, I’m now aching for the same treatment of the original Paper Mario. Still my favourite of the series to this day, though TTYD is still a great title to me, not far below the 64 release.
I’ve actually been thinking, on Sony’s side, how great a remake (or sure, remastered) trilogy of Sly would be. News just came in pulling data from play activity on PS Plus and the original Sly Cooper is doing well. Great trilogy, would love to see someone treat it as Toys For Bob did Spyro.
Xbox, do something about the original Fable titles. That would be nice
