Not that much of a stretch. In Europe, there's Captain Toad, Splatoon, Kirby, Yoshi, Mario Maker, Zelda U, Xenoblade, Star Fox, Mario Party, and maybe SMTXFE, Devil's Third, and Fatal Frame.

Luigi's Mansion 2. Didn't it show up in retail listings some time ago?
Seems like a ton of work. Games like SMG they can essentially up the resolution, maybe up the texture resolutions as well, and call it a day.
Mario 64, every single model would need to be upgraded. There are very few textures even in the game. Shaders. Etc. If I'm looking at pure ROI, Mario 64's not the game to upgrade.
Welp, there's the possible one game per month....

It should be the Oprah affect.
You get a remake, and you get a remake, and you get a remake!

I'm a weak man, I'd buy the Metroid Prime Trilogy again just to have proper, without underscan, 16x9 support.
The game is going to be on the Wii U though.

Mario Galaxy collection with pro controller support please? It's probably Majora's Mask, but I would love Metroid Prime Trilogy as well.
I don't remember hearing anything like that. I mean, I heard Reggie say that they weren't going to let the momentum slip again this year but he never explicitly said 1 game per month

I don't believe this for a second, so the rumor is probably fake. Nintendo promised that there would be no software droughts in 2014.
February: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
March: Nothing
April: Nothing
May: Nothing
June: Mario Kart 8
July: Nothing
August: Nothing
September: Hyrule Warriors

I hope it's not xenoblade. I payed a ridiculous amount of money for it and I still need to play it
My guess is Mario Galaxy but you never know.

Thinking purely from a NA perspective, I doubt it will be Xenoblade Chronicles since the sequel is around the corner, Gamestop recently sold reprinted copies of the game and the fact that Wii games can be played on the Wii U. Also, I really think it is not high profile enough.
If they have not chosen to do Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, then I expect them to pull out another title from the GameCube library a la The Wind Waker HD. Not sure which one, though.

consider the source of that statement though. of course Nintendo is going to spin their release schedule in a positive light.
Was bracing myself for a 3DS remake of MM, but a Wii U one would be fantastic so I'm all up for it!
Mario Kart 8 released in May. Plus, they don't say Wii U; they say Nintendo will release a title every month - could mean with 3DS releases. Also, Nintendo released digital software during some of those "off months". Wii Sports was released at retail in July.

Going to go with either Kid Icarus: Uprising or Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. Probably more the latter.

Xenoblade would be awesome. Mario Sunshine would make sense since it would give them a Mario game for next year and it wasn't as widely played as some others.
I doubt they'd do another Zelda, though if they did, they've been being cagey about Majora's Mask for a while.
I'd rather they announce a new Metroid than a remaster of one of the Prime games, though I'd get it either way.
F-Zero GX would work too.
Kinda hope it's not Luigi's Mansion, though that seems like another likely target too.
Or an up-port of the 3DS Kid Icarus?

Let's get either Super Mario World or Super Mario 64 in 16:9 1080p.
Go back to source drawings for World. For 64, it can be on the 3D World engine using the same assets in place of the originals. Just imagine getting up to Bowser 1 and swinging his high quality 3D version around.
It could be a 3DS game. The boring answer for this remaster could very well be Majora's Mask.
If whatever this is comes to 3DS, it's a cop out.

Gonna go with Mario 64 if it's for Wii U and Majora's Mask if it's for 3DS. That'd be the only one I'd "love".

I doubt it's a Wii game, since those can be played on the Wii U.
I don't think it's a Zelda game either when the new Legend of Zelda is already planned for 2015.
I'm hoping it's F-Zero GX with online.

Good man!
I think I'm in love....
Seriously, I love Eternal Darkness and wish I could replay it in some form, even just a simple VC release (but with Nintendo, no release is simple)

Maybe those Amazon "leaks" are real:
Luigis mansion 3DS port
Kid Icaris 3DS port
I'd put money on a Galaxy Collection though.

Galaxy HD collection or Metroid Prime Trilogy HD are really the only realistic (F-Zero GX ) remasters that would probably get me excited. I'd be down for Twilight Princess or Skyward Sword, but Twilight Princess feels like it would need a lot more work put into making it presentable in HD unlike WW or SS, and SS feels too recent. Plus Zelda U's supposed to be out next year anyway, so I don't see much reason to bother.
I was absolutely certain Galaxy HD collection would be announced at E3 this year what with Mario basically being an annual franchise now, but then we got Captain Toad instead. So I'm going with that, assuming the rumor is true.

I want F-Zero GX or Metroid Prime.
Nintendo please take my argument : both would not only fill a gap in Nintendo's 2015's release calendar but they could also fill the gap for genres not already well covered on Wii U.

and more importantly I want to play one of these two games in glorious 720p / 60fps with more advanced effects and smart use of the Gamepad

Super Mario All Stars HD??
I can dream, but at least we're for sure getting Mario Maker
