| RolStoppable said: I changed my mind. I remembered that Cadence of Hyrule will get a physical release on October 23rd, so Nintendo lumps it closely together with Pikmin 3 Deluxe. Earlier today Nintendo of America tweeted an image with Mario in a Sunshine setting, so the long rumored 3D Mario collection became a lot more credible as mid-November release; will likely contain Super Mario 64, Sunshine and the first Galaxy with remade graphics. Why not the second Galaxy as well? Because of remade graphics which led to time constraints in development; also, three games for the price of one is already generous enough by Nintendo standards. Pokémon New Snap in December to close out the year. That would make four games already. Still leaves the late September/early October window and that one will likely get a game too, although not necessarily a retail release. Another Picross will be due in late 2020 too, but that's definitely digital-only. 4-5 retail games, 1-2 digital games. |
I don't think they'd do 3 Mario's including Galaxy but then leave out Galaxy 2. I kinda think a 4-game collection ever being planned is unlikely in the first place because knowing Nintendo they'd normally just HD up a single one of those games and sell it for $60.
I could see an HD Galaxy Collection perhaps with slightly remastered graphics, or if it is all 4 games just a straight HD port with no other work put in which would be the best deal I could ever imagine Nintendo doing. If they completely remade the graphics on any of those games they'd sell each for $60 - so like a Mario 64 remake could be one game and then a HD Galaxy Collection or HD Sunshine/Galaxy1+2 Collection as a separate game could be possible if they decided they want all the games ported over but wanted to offer fans something remade as well. I don't really see anything GC or later being remade because graphically that's close enough to modern day if you just do at most an HD upgrade and a little bit of graphically remastering or whatever - it just wouldn't be worth the effort and money.
