Forums - Nintendo Discussion - What game(s) should Nintendo remake for the Wii U?

As of now, Nintendo has only released one remake for the Wii U: The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD.

I've said this before, but I'll say it again, I believe that full-fledged remakes are a great opportunity to fill out a console's lineup and avoid droughts. And for a console like the Wii U, this could do wonders. However, I don't think that Nintendo has taken advantage of their amazing catalogue that could potentially have a nice home on their first HD console.

I'll list several games I believe would be great games to remake, either from a sales standpoint or just for the sake of diversity:

First off, Super Mario Sunshine.

This game was sort of panned when it released for the GameCube in 2002. It was very different from the formula that Super Mario 64 established for 3D Mario games, and people didn't really like that. Since then, however, it's gained a sort of cult following and people typically appreciate its uniqueness and innovative concepts. It's already a beautiful game, but a remake would really let the game shine (), and can you just imagine those water effects in bright, vibrant HD? I rest my case. (Plus, it's a Mario game so it would sell well)

Next, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem.

Also a game for the GCN, but really the exact oppsite of Super Mario Sunshine. It was critically acclaimed, but shifted very, very few copies. So, why would I suggest Nintendo bring this game to the Wii U? Well, it's simple. The Wii U lacks key titles in the horror genre. As of now, it only has ZombiU and Resident Evil: Revelations, and Fatal Frame V is on its way, but that's really it on the horizon. A remake of Eternal Darkness would take less resources than a brand new game, and I believe it could potentially be marketed well and fill a necessary gap in the console's lineup. 


Finally, F-Zero X for the N64.

This game sold well, and was also praised by fans and critics. Recently, Nintendo has made claims that they can't make a new F-Zero at the moment because they haven't found the right control scheme. Well, guess what, you don't have to. Just remake this game. It would both drum up interest for the series (along with the MK8 courses) and allow you to gauge how much people want an entirely new game. Plus, like Eternal Darkness, it would fill a gap in the library of the console, as there are no futuristic racing games on the way (aside from FAST Racing Neo, which is a digital-only title).

So, these are only a few of the games I'd like to see Nintendo remake for the Wii U, but what do you think? What would you like to see get completely remade in glorious HD for Nintendo's quirky console?

We need a Super Mario Sunshine HD! it would be perfect.



F-Zero GX

F- Zero GX please!! It was the best of the saga, just add online, some new courses and gorgeous HD graphics and I´m ok.

Mario Sunshine HD would be a smart move, I´m still expecting it

Nothing more comes to my head really. Eternal Darkness was great but I think the gameplay is too clunky for today, unless they make a complete remake with free camera.

They should remaster Fatal Frame IV and release it on a pack with FFV too.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

F-zero GX and Twilight Princess HD. Especially Twilight Princess to hold over Zelda fans this year since Zelda U won't be releasing.



Luigi Mansion.Played Dark Moon and loved it, but never had a chance to play the first since i never had a gamecube.If Dark Moon is any indication, Luigi Mansion would be gorgeus in hd



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

If they are going to remake Sunshine, I hope they do the following:

1. Make it 60 fps (easily doable)
2. Take away the blue coins and add another course or more secret stars (only 8 courses in the entire game)
3. Make Yoshi survive in water. (optional)
4. Take away fludd, replace him with a spin jump from Mario Galaxy (not likely)
5. Give us back the long jump (not likely but why not?)
6. Give us back normal back flip (see above)
7. Replace Rocket Jump with another power up (not likely)
8. Remove all shines that need turbo dash and that power up as well. (not likely but why not? Power up wasn't that great)

Yeah I didn't like Sunshine.

I'm down for a F-Zero GX remake if they let us have 30 people racing online. If this means the graphics look the same besides any sharp jaggies in HD then that's fine. The game looks acceptable even in 2015. Just price it less than $60 and I'll be happy.



F-Zero GX and the Metroid Prime games.



F-Zero X or any F-Zero remake in general would make me happy.
