I'm going to make a couple of predictions in this thread and hopefully I'll be proven right in the future.

First of all, my predictions stand or fall with the the rumour that the joy-con controllers of the Switch include an IR-pointer. I think it would be a mistake from Nintendo not to add this. More control options can only be a good thing and I doubt adding an IR-pointer and accelerometer to these controllers will add much to the manufacturing costs of the Nintendo Switch.

Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2

A remaster of Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 for $60 could make a lot of extra money for Nintendo. Take a look at the video above to see how beautiful the game looks in 1080P. It doesn't look out-dated at all and the textures haven't even been touched. They could also market the fact that these games can now be enjoyed on the go.

Metroid Prime Trilogy

Nintendo needs some hardcore games to diversify their line-up. They also need to regain the favour of long-standing Metroid fans after the horrendous Metroid Prime: Federation Force. It would also be a good way for Nintendo to gauge how much interest there still is for the Metroid franchise. Just look at how good Metroid Prime 2 looks in 1080P! Despite being a GC game it doesn't look out-dated and could easily pass for a modern game. Only a slight texture update would be needed. So again, this would be a very easy remaster for Nintendo to do and it would diversify their line-up. They need to show the world that they're more than just a gaming company that makes "kiddy" games (an erronous believe, but one that still persists to this day). 3 beautiful classics at the price of $60 would be a steal!

Pokkén Tournament

My third prediction is an enhanced port of Pokkémon Tournament. Nintendo could just release the arcade version which has more characters and better graphics than the Wii U version. There are also many Pokémon fans who only owned a 3DS, so when they make the switch this will be like a brand new game for them. They could market the portability of Pokkén Tournament to make it stand out more. It again seems like a very easy port to do that would cost Nintendo little in resources. The arcade version has 3 characters for now that aren't on the Wii U: Darkrai, Scizor and Croagunk. More will likely be added in the future (there's room for two more characters in the selection screen). It would be a missed opportunity if these remained exclusive to the arcades. So please make an enhanced Pokkén Tournament for the Switch Nintendo!

Do you agree that Nintendo needs to release these 3 remasters on the Switch? Let me know below.

Or better yet, make Super Mario Galaxy 3 and Metroid Prime 4?!

Or just make new games

Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 running at 1080p..... yes nintendo! dooooooo it.

Not sure how possible, but I'd love to see a big push to digital based BC. All VC should automatically be included and any Wii digital releases that went to WiiU such as this particular trilogy.

Remasters don't come at the expense of new games... There's a new 3D Mario in development already. This would just be a way to avoid droughts on the Switch and the bad press that goes along with it.

I can definitely see Mario Galaxy HD collection on Switch, same like Zelda Skyward Sword HD.
I am not so sure that Nintendo will do Metroid Trilogy HD, but they would definitely need do that too.

SMG HD will come if they plan on making a SMG3. Same goes for MP. Pokken probably will go on Switch by default though

Metriod Prime would look gorgeous as an HD remaster.
Digital Foundry did their retro analisys on it recently and the fact that it has an insane polycount for the time makes it an extremely good contender for a remaster. You wouldn't run into the same problems the Twighlight Princess remaster had, because despite the realistic style the polycount is high enough to be satisfying to modern eyes.
HD textures, some nice bumb mapping, updated lighting, good AA and done.

As for the galaxies, same principle as Windwaker HD updated lighting and textures would proably be enough to make these shine.

I think eventually they should but right now Nintendo needs new games. If I were Nintendo, I'd buyout a company that specializes in things like remasters and ports (like Tantalus) and just have them focus entirely on remastering Wii U and older Nintendo games.
