Wind Waker and Twilight Princess are a given. The Oracle games should have been remade like they did with Link's Awakening. A HD or a brand new Four Swords Adventure would be fun.
Just imagine the successor not being backwards compatible. Ready to buy Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Plus Plus Plus? Tears of the Kingdom HD? Pikmin 4 HD Plus? Throw in a new attempt at NSO and we'll be back to square one
I'd rather have Sakurai work on a new Season Pass than a Smash Sequel. Just like Mario Kart the series pretty much reached a high point that is rather hard to achieve a second time around. I also believe Nintendo should focus more on remaking GameCube classics, as they did with Metroid Prime, with classics such as F-Zero GX. Upgraded visuals, more tracks and/or characters is all these games need.
@Maulbert despite it's flaws it's still a pretty darn good controller. I found the N64 controller more of an abomination and not one to easily go back to.
For me Ruby/Sapphire felt like a downgrade coming from Silver/Gold. Yes, the graphics were better, double battles were pretty cool, but the lack of a Day and Night system and the opportunity to go to a post-game region like in G/S felt like generation 3 was three steps back and only one forward. Now, I fondly look back at the GBA games as a staple of the series all thanks to the mishaps that game after. I am looking at you Scarlet/Violet...
Somewhere in the back of my head I completely agree with @Maulbert. This controller is also terrible for playing retro games. But in my heart I want to buy four of these lovely controllers the second it's restocked in Europe.
I always look forward to releases of new games. Not to buy/play those games, but to witness Nintendo getting a franchise out of their system for a while so they can focus on the next big thing.
I am definitely happy to see more GameCube games coming to Switch, but if Nintendo doesn't go all in on remastering these games like they did with Metroid Prime than they should lower the price of these ports a bit.
It was all right. I know they say Super Mario RPG is one of the best ever made and that a "new" 2D Super Mario will probably rock everyone's socks off, but I can't say there was a game in this Direct that I would immediately buy.
Oracle of Seasons/Ages, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD, Metroid Prime 2, all releases dates. Maybe Pokémon for Gameboy NSO with a Pokémon Direct soon after. What can I say, I am a sucker for remakes/re-releases.
2024 will be the year that the Big N finally shows some gameplay. After the success of the Prime Remaster my best guess is that we'll see something of Echoes remastered at the end of this year.
The "actual" Prince of Persia is not the main character, the choice in music for the trailer was absolutely abysmal, I can't help it but I don't like the art style, plus is looks like one of those endless runners you can get on mobile... So, definite no for me.
The minute I read: "We're getting some serious The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap vibes" while playing the trailer I thought: "Vibes? The assets are stripped right out of the Mimish Cap!"
This question shouldn't be that difficult, since it's technically the same man in every game, right? I still have to find out how TotK's Ganondorf fits into the picture, so I am choosing my first experience with meeting this threat of a man: Ocarina of Time. Twilight Princess being a close second.
Nintendo will continue to drip feed games on NSO until they are ready for the next Direct which most certainly won't show its face until the earliest of August.
I would love to see a Open World reimagined Majora's Mask. Tackling Termina's corners of the map in BotW/TotK open world fashion sounds really cool to me.
I like how Ocarina's Ganondorf is actually the same man as in Wind Waker and in Twilight Princess, but in different timelines. I gotta stick with the orignal man in Ocarina of Time also due to the fact the he let his hair grow in the seven years he rules Hyrule.
I was wondering when Nintendo would give their Online Service some love now that the 3DS e-store has closed it's doors. Didn't expect it would be another disappointment, but then again shame on me for expecting something more
What really set Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask apart was indeed the story and the world. Now we now that the map in Tears of the Kingdom will be pretty much the same as in Breath of the Wild, but what do we know of the story? This is were I think Tears of the Kingdom is gonna be more of the same, because the story of Breath of the Wild was really thin to begin with. Yes, Zelda games are following the same story pattern that Mario does: save the princess, save the world, but it's the new world(s) that keeps dragging us back in. If you ask me Tears of the Kingdom has some big shoes to fill and if the story doesn't grab me by the balls, I will let go.
Am I the only one who just wants a traditional Zelda? I don't care about multiple weapons, durability and now crafting. With this new entry it feels more like Breath of the Wild 1.5 instead of a full blown sequel.
If we don't talk about remaking Melee can we then talk about the GameCube controller and Nintendo being able to re-release that lovely piece of technology? They are very hard to come by and a practicality a money printing machine for the big N, or am I exaggerating?

Re: Random: Fan-Made Legend Of Zelda Trailer Is A Wholesome Link To The Past
After seeing this I can't stress enough that Nintendo really has to re-release Twilight Princess and Wind Waker for Switch.

Metroid Prime Echoes Remastered, when?
Re: Talking Point: How Does Switch's Year 7 Compare To Previous Nintendo Consoles?
Nintendo 64 was pretty great, but no console can be the perfection that was the GameCube. Nintendo 64 was good, but GameCube made everything better.
Re: Review: Fire Emblem - The Blazing Blade Is Still As Sharp As Ever
And here I am still waiting on a Fire Emblem Advance Remake just like they did Advance Wars 1+2.

Re: Sonic Fans Are Already Really Mad About Sonic Origins Plus
@presenttense Cancel. Sega will dump releases of their classic
Sonic games annually if they get the chance.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's GBA Library Next Week With Fire Emblem
Nice. Something good to play until Nintendo finally decides to add Oracle of Seasons/Ages on the drip feed.

Re: Round Up: All Switch Games Announced At Future Games Show Summer Showcase 2023
I'll raise you one, @Poodlestargenerica, this was probably the worst Games Show I have ever seen in my life. Must have been the terrible presentation.
Re: Round Up: All Switch Games Announced At Future Games Show Summer Showcase 2023
Can I also vote for "none of the above"?
Re: Poll: Are You Excited About Ubisoft's Metroidvania "Inspired" Prince Of Persia Platformer?
The "actual" Prince of Persia is not the main character, the choice in music for the trailer was absolutely abysmal, I can't help it but I don't like the art style, plus is looks like one of those endless runners you can get on mobile... So, definite no for me.

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Color, SNES & NES Library With Four More Titles
This isn't Oracle of Seasons/Ages, Nintendo. Come on already

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
It's more Breath of the Wild.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's GBA Library With Three Super Mario Games
I was hoping for Oracle of Seasons and Ages, but that's probably too close after Tears of the Kingdom's release...
Re: Expect More Open-World Zelda Games Going Forwards, Suggests Eiji Aonuma

Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Release Windows For Upcoming Switch Games, And It's Slim Pickings
This might be the time to double down on Switch Online, Nintendo. Together with some more GameCube remakes they should be able to survive a dry spell.
Re: Post-Apocalyptic RPG Biomutant Is Officially Coming To Switch

Re: UK Charts: Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp Tumbles Out Of The Top Ten
That's cool and all, but when are then going to remake Fire Emblem The Binding Blade and The Blazing Blade?
Re: Anniversary: Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade First Launched 20 Years Ago Today
Come on, Nintendo, remake these bloody games already. Advance Wars Reboot was a step in the right direction.

Re: Poll: Which Is The Best Ganondorf?
I like how Ocarina's Ganondorf is actually the same man as in Wind Waker and in Twilight Princess, but in different timelines. I gotta stick with the orignal man in Ocarina of Time also due to the fact the he let his hair grow in the seven years he rules Hyrule.
