Forums - Nintendo - 1 HD Remaster (WiiU) and 1 3D Remaster (3DS). What Do You Choose? (Has to be 1st Party)

bunchanumbers on 10 June 2015

I want the Zelda collection (GCN) for Wii U. Updated graphics and a silky smooth frame rate for all. Also toss in LttP and screen filters for all the NES/SNES games.

3DS I'd make some kind of 2D metroid collection. Include the GBA games. They would look great in 3D.

WiiU HD: Super Mario 64

No question about it, this already amazing game would now also look amazing on modern hardware. If they'd ask use the DS version's extra content, we'd have a winner.

For 3DS is a much harder pick. It already has a brilliant 3D remake in Ocarina of Time (and we got three in total even) and I would only want something that really benefits from the upgrade. Old 2D games are as such basically discounted because there wouldn't be much of a difference. Can I count Rare games when they were 1st party? I know it won't happen because even though the company was first party, the rights to their original characters remained out of Nintendo's hands. I would nominate Banjo-Kazooie. Otherwise, I'd take the following, because it's sequel released on 3DS proved how much the 3D effect added (still the best use of 3D in a game as far as I'm concerned) to the gameplay of this game.

3DS 3D: Luigi's Mansion

Mario Sunshine on 3DS could also work and it's something I can see happening in real life. Even though it's my least favorite 3D Mario, I surely wouldn't be opposed to giving it another chance. I'd take Zelda Twilight Princess on WiiU's successor; it's still too new and still playable on current hardware.


Man, I loved Luigi's Mansion. The atmosphere in that game and the visuals were almost perfect! And the gameplay was actually unique and something new from Nintendo. While I played, it reminded me at times of one of my all time favourite game: Maniac Mansion. Probably because of the side scrolling view and the fact that it was a mansion. xD But yeah, it was awesome, and I'd rather them make a HD remaster of it, improved with added gameplay and gamepad features, than to see it downgraded for the 3DS. But that's also due to the fact that I'm not much of a handheld gamer. =P

I agree, great game. Even if it was a launch game, I'd say it was among the top, if not my absolute favorite of the entire GameCube's life. Excluding Twilight Princess (because I always associate that game more with Wii) anyway. So yes, an HD remaster would also certainly work wonders and I would get that for sure.

In this thread however, I can only choose one and have to mention both consoles. WiiU is less of a problem because there's plenty that would benefit from an HD upgrade of course, but I really wouldn't know what else I would like on 3DS . The nature of the game works so well with the 3D effect, the small rooms make it look like you're looking into a puppet-house or diorama, as proven by the sequel. It literally sucks you into the houses. I wouldn't mind seeing that again with the first game, if I really had to pick one.

But yeah, you wouldn't annoy me with a WiiU release either .
