no seriously the very best games on n64 were still made by nintendo Mario Kart, Zelda and Mario 64 in no special order

Heavy Rain, Uncharted, Infamous, LittleBigPlanet, Journey, Flower, Resistance, Last of Us, Rain, Puppeteer, Guacamelee, Beyond, etc.

ALL new IP which started THIS GEN.  How is that running out of ideas exactly?

don't think Mario Kart needs remade any time soon.  They can just put classic track DLC in Mario Kart 8 (or included).

There's your Majora's Mask remake. I hope for an Ocarina of Time one.

no i mean mario kart was one of the best, not that it needs a remade

I just want them to put some N64 games up, period. It's been almost a year since the Wii U launched and Nintendo can't even offer the same VC experience they did on the Wii. This is really one of the most disappointing aspects of the Wii U to me.

If true... and it some ways it sounds too good to be true... BUT if true, Paper Mario remake in HD would be reason enough for me to finally justify owning a Wii U. As it is, all I have right now is NSMBU and WW HD.

Assuming Ocarina and Star Fox are out of the running due to the recent 3DS versions then? Which are two pretty big games to not be part of this. I would also assume the original Smash Brothers as well as Mario Kart 64 wouldn't really be on the table because it would undercut the two versions they'd have on the market.

And should I assume Banjo-Kazooie, Perfect Dark and Jet Force Gemini are off the table because of Rare owning the franchises?

I suppose... Mario 64, Majora's Mask, DK64 (if the Rare-ness doesn't disqualify that too), Pokemon Snap, maybe Mario Party and Tennis? Diddy Kong Racing would be cool, again, if they can do that. F-Zero X maybe? 

I mean... I'd be happy to supplant two of those for Ogre Battle 64 and Harvest Moon 64, but I guess this will be strictly first party.

The ones I'd expect, though, would be: Mario 64, Majora's Mask, either Pokemon Snap or Stadium - probably Snap, Yoshi's Story, Kirby and the Crystal Shards, Paper Mario and some other Mario party game be it Tennis or Party.

Really, though, this should include Gamecube too, and some should be swapped out for Mario Sunshine, Metroid Prime, maybe Gamecube Twilight Princess.

Yeah, Nintendo are really lacking in new ideas as last gen showed us.

Nintendo also made many 'artistic classics' (whatever the hell that means) last gen, many of them just happened to sell well. I like how you make it seem like their commercial success takes away something from them.

Oh right, commercial success = mainstream = those inferior casuals. Forgot how your mind works.

The point of my post, especially when considering the post it was responding to, flew right over your head.
