I don't see Nintendo doing opportunistic remasters like Mario Kart 8 and SMash Bros, those games will have replacements within the NX's 1st 2 years. Considering both teams had to previous develop 2 seperate titles for handheld and console I think we'll probably see Smash 5 and Mario Kart 9 even sooner then that. At least 1 might be a launch window title.

Difference with single player, campaign based games like Zelda is that sequels are in no way replacements so its important they make previous entries available to current consumers.

To answer the question though, assuming NX isn't backwards compatible:

-Xenoblade X remaster
-Pikmin trilogy
-Mario Collection (including 3D world)
-Pokken

I think the campaign from Splatoon 1 will come with Splatoon 2, which I think we'll see in 2017. 


Lol they only just finished smash 4 and are hard at work making dlc for it  and you expect smash 5 in 2016 or 2017? No chance, i dont think we will see smash 5 untill 2020 because they usually release smash every 6 years.

None will be ported like definitive editions, they can only be simple ports with new control option, similar like some GC games are ported to Wii.

This really isn't something Nintendo has done that often in the past. They usually don't remaster games until a very significant amount of time has passed, and even then they don't do it that often.


DKC Returns & Xenoblade were ported over just a few years after their initial release. Also many people thought Nintendo would never jump on the DLC or Mobile bandwagons but now they are embracing both pretty strongly so seeing how successful remasters of few year old games have been on PS4/XBO may cause Nintendo to jump aboard as well especially for games that underperformed due to the small Wii U user base.

It not same thing, they ported console game to handheld.

Whats a point of defintive edtion if NX will have BC or Nintendo can do simple port and realese Wii U games via Virtual Console.

How many Wii defenitive editions games we saw on Wii U!? Zero!

I don't think they'll rerelease games just like that.. they'll just make a sequel

Yup, or they can do just simply ports if NX dont have BC.

Super Smash Bros. 1999
Super Smash BRos Melee 2001

Context

They usually develop Smash once a generation, inbetween that they work on various other titles (kirby) if there is time. The games do not have a 5 yeard development cycle, their release is determined by the availability of new hardware. if NX launches in 2016, history shows that smash would be made available as soon as they can finish a new one as its one of Nintendo's main system sellers. Every generation following its conception Smash has been released within the openning 2 years of a consoles life cycle. For Wii U they had to develop 2 titles at the same time which slowed them down. Going by rumours this time they'll be developing 1 title, scalable across a handheld and console meaning devlopement time will be shorter then what we saw this gen, especially if they don't get bogged down by another title like they did with Kid Icarus. The leads to us getting a new game between 12 and 18months from the NX's release as a releastic expectation.

I never said 2016, I  said we could see one title (Most likely mario kart) as a launch window title which is not the same as launch title. Assuming NX launches fall 2016, a spring or summer 2017 release would count as  launch window which is quite a generic term. Finally the entire Smash team is not working on DLC.

I agree mostly! But I do think Zelda will either have a definitive version or they will dual release it as they did with Twilight Princess depending on the launch date of the NX.

Although I do think it would be smart to have Mario Kart 8 and Smash 4 re-released, I just don't see how they would for those.
