Rumour: Nintendo working on a Remaster for 2015

I think their plate is already quite full and I don't see them doing another console remaster of a Zelda game shortly before the next big one releases when next year is Majora's Mask's anniversary and the 3DS remaster is such an obvious thing for them to do after OoT 3D and it could be a thing for the New 3DS.
What seems way more likely, as I mentioned earlier in this thread, is some type of Mario remaster. Specifically 64 and Sunshine. Mario 64 would pretty much be a full-on remake since they can't (and likely won't) just uprez an N64 game and try to sell it. Why is it more likely? Because Mario turns 30 next year. After they farted out the super disappointing Mario All Stars thing for his 25th which everyone gave them a lot of shit for, they might try something a bit more respectful of the caliber of this franchise. I don't think they'll include the Galaxy games, though, as they're too recent and would require complicated interface redesigning to work with the touch-screen instead of the pointer, similar to Skyward Sword. Of course they could always do a special bundle with a limited Wii Remote Plus packed in.
Ultimately, I see old Zelda games releasing on 3DS/N3DS only next year with Zelda U capping off the year as the big Holiday title.
That's a different than there being a "tiresome tutorial." It just doesn't "feel" like you're doing significant stuff since most people are after the dungeon gameplay. The Ordon Village area feels a bit claustrophobic with its narrow passages and walls everywhere so you end up feeling boxed-in in this starting area even though you're already collecting key items, learning a bunch of stuff you'll need later and furthering the plot. The problem is that it's front-loading all of this before you enter the first proper dungeon, not the activities themselves. I can see how people were eager to "get to it" after fiending for a new Zelda game for 3-4 years and then you have to run around as a wolf, herd goats, follow a monkey through a poison cloud and lure a kitten with a fishing rod before you can enter your first dungeon and subsequently leave and go out into the wide world.
But on a replay, I found myself quite interested in the way the game opens and slowly introduces you to the world, the place Link comes from and how it sets up the larger conflict.
You're not meant to be rendered in 16:9!

I swear to God if they do a remake on 3DS. Nintendo actually has decent hardware with the Wii U. What a waste that would be

If it ended up doing well and they revisited other entries in the series with this sort of polish and perhaps new games, it would be all that I ever need. I'm a huge supporter of 2D sprites and preserving the classics, and I think that 16-bit games will always look perfect. BUT this sort of detail applied to the Metroid series would just work so well.

They should make a new Mario game with FLUDD. That thing was awesome. Truly. Sunshine HD isn't good enough.
Galaxy HD is a confusing request. They're relatively new games. But we live in a world where Last of Us HD was the second coming, so who knows anymore?

So unless the rumor got things mixed up and it was referring to Xenoblade 3DS, I would seriously doubt a HD Xenoblade, given that it would be way oversaturated, unless Nintendo wants that.
My guesses would be Twilight Princess or Metroid Prime Trilogy.
TP just because they already did WW and Skyward is too recent. Plus I feel it's going to take a couple of years before the actual Zelda U knowing Nintendo so they may want to put something Zelda out in between.
MPT would be great if they want to once again tackle the Metroid franchise and take it back to Prime style after the less the welcome reception Other M got.

This is something I really hope Nintendo do. A game like Xenoblade would really benefit from the option to play anywhere, from wherever you left off.

I feel bad just for posting it.... if they did a prime remaster and just stuck this in there I would probably pass out from excitement.

Probably an IP nightmare... More than half of the racers are Microsoft properties now.

Sorry to bump--but is it safe to say this was MM3D?
Edit: Nvm, OP says it's for Wii U.

Nah, I wanted to believe that one for the longest, and as much as I want it, I've been slowly persuaded to believe otherwise.

Yes, I'm sure Nintendo would love to cannibalize sales of Xenoblade 3D just as it comes out.
Yup. Hopes got shattered D:
Why gaf, why do you do this kind of things?
Someone start an unreasonable hype train!

Adding to that, I don't see the logic in suggesting that it would be either Galaxy or Metroid Prime Trilogy when those are about to release on VC.
It's almost certainly either Sunshine or Twilight Princess.
EDIT: Fell for a necro =/
Best game ever made, but it doesn't need an update as bad as SM64 does. 64's level design is still masterful, but its controls and especially its visuals are showing their age. Plus I don't want Nintendo to water down Sunshine's great use of the GC's unique L and R buttons in order to be played on the Wii U.
That being said, going off of the nostalgia theory Iwata mentioned-that Pokemon R/S and Melee released around the same time, and thus a lot of young adults are having nostalgia for them and want to buy sequels and remakes of them-Sunshine seems like a very possible pick.
