whatever HD remakes come they need to be nintendo based, like Zelda as someone posted above.

Or fire emblem.

nope - already own them. also, seeing as the top selling re-releases are GoW collection at 1M and RE4wii at 2M with everything else far far below that ... it's probably not worth the time for most publishers to go into their back catalog for the wiiU. anything less then a year old maybe anything older than that really only has a market value of like $10 now-a-days.

I couldn't afford an HD console, but if they were to bring them to Wii U I would get one or two new, the others I would wait till they lower in price (I'm cheap...). But at 2M sales for RE4 with minimal effort, it's def worth the time. I understand it's an upper cap, but many of them would be between 100k and 1M. Even Super Mario All stars sold 2.66M...

ROI is good here, I disagree kitler.

but RE4 is the exception imo or the best of the best if you will.  take a look at all the other re-releases that have more or less flopped.  financially perhaps they didn't lose money on them but i don't think they made much either.  and like you said...you'd buy one or two of them to which i agree one or two games could probably do well but by and large i'd expect a lot of nothing.

...i mean really, wouldn't you rather be playing one of the new games that actually leverages the wiiU in a new way instead of something dated and old and probably ported in the laziest way possible?

...or put another way, like to admit it or not but game design is getting better every year.  once you get past the nostalgia of it, last generation games are just not as good as current generation games.  hell, early this gen games aren't as good as now gen games.  i expect that to be the case next gen too.

Yep, I understood the RE4 being top game part, take a peak at my post again I italicized it. But I went on to say they can sell between 100K and 1M each ballpark. Let's take a few more example to see.

(Trimmed due to row overload)

There are many others, but I'm not sure if they've released, if vgchartz tracked their numbers, or if they just faired very poorly. They list as 0.00 sales, and many HD collections are releasing this year, so it's hard to judge... But from the successful ones above, it looks clean.

Hey Kitler, here's another good post about what you're saying. By none other than Viper1! He says the same thing as me about ROI (bolded above).

I'ld only really be interested in first party collections. Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Metroid Prime Trilogy remaster, and a Zelda Collection (Windwaker, Twilight princess, Spirit Sword?) would all be fairly cool.

I would LOVE a Smash Bros. Smash pack, which included Brawl and Melee upscaled with GOOD online support for both.

I might get a Mass Effect Triliogy..... I own one and two on different platforms (PC and Xbox) and don't plan on getting 3 for quite a while due to lack of time. Besides that though, I can't really see myself bothering with any third party offerings. Might be good for Wii only owners, though.

I know it's a theoretical approach, but I don't think that we will see many remastered games from this generation for the next one.
The jump from 720p to 1080p isn't really that huge. Maybe Nintendo developed games would make sense, the others... not so much.

And it's questionable if a WiiU exclusive collection would make sense. I mean PS3 has not received ME1 and still got the second one. Assassin's Creed franchise is in my opinion far too big to justify a port/collection to Wii U.
Red Dead Redemption didn't even got a PC port, which is weird for Rockstar games.
Bioshock Infinite has not much to do with Bioshock 1 and 2. We didn't see a System Shock collection this gen either right ?

@System Shock. I don't know tbh.

A brief look at this article didn't point to any remake/port/collection of it.

But then again though Bioshock is spiritual successor to it, Bioshock and System Shock are games with very different developers, publishers, and business stakeholders as far as I can tell, so a decision for one wouldn't justify the other imho.

Gimme Metroid Prime 1-3 with HD graphics and I'll be there DAY 1.

...and eventually a "Dead Space Triogy" would be nice.

Those games are already HD LMFAO.
You want an HD remake of Red Dead Redemption? In fact all those games you listed are all current-gen games that are already HD. IF they game to the Wii U they would be simple ports. Nothing more, nothing less.
