Nintendo has an incredible catalogue of old games that would scale very nicely if they were to be remastered in HD, and this would be a wonderful way to fill out the early Switch lineup. Frankly I'm surprised we haven't heard more about this yet. Nintendo I want to pay you for your old games, why won't you take my money?

Imagine this shit portable.

Here are my top candidates, all of them classics:

Mario Galaxy 1+2 HD

Metroid Prime Trilogy HD

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door HD

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD

Super Smash Bros. Melee HD

Xenoblade Chronicles HD

F-Zero GX HD

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Nah. I've got a new piece of hardware...I'd much rather play new games than the old ones again.

That's the whole point of the Virtual Console, after all.

 

[Anth0ny]

Melee HD Kreygasm

 

[Zalman]

There are quite a few HD remasters I would be interested in. I say go for it.

 

[zewone]

Don't bring back motion controls.

No one asked for those.

 

[Pinky]

Agree with Metroid Prime Trilogy and Galaxy 1&2.

Don't bring back motion controls.

No one asked for those.

Speak for yourself. I love motion controls.

 

[Real Hero]

melee hd keep dreaming

 

[Jawbreaker]

They should, as I think remasters are great. I don't personally care since I have a capable PC, but I'm sure a lot of other people would be excited.

 

[HStallion]

The Nintendo Boost has a ring to it.

 

[moltonasty]

how would pointer controls work for Galaxy and Prime Trilogy?

 

[windsostrange]

We *did* hear rumours about Melee on the Switch (with local/remote multiplayer, etc.), though, didn't we?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Cheap excuse to use the milking gif again.

 

[TheDinoman]

I wouldn't entirely mind it, but I have to say...

I think it's kinda funny how people were bemoaning how the Switch would be nothing but a port machine at launch with all the rumors regarding Mario Kart 8, Splatoon and Smash 4 at the time...and now we have people saying they should go crazy with ports and remasters, lol.

 

[Spaghetti]

I'd take "HD" versions of Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask 3D.

 

[Lights and Waves]

Please let Melee die. The others can stay. Get rid of those obnoxious motion controls though so they can be backwards compatible forever.

 

[DarknessTear]

All I want is the Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask 3DS games to end up on Switch in HD.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Or they could make a new Metroid

 

[mrmickfran]

I don't understand why Nintendo is taking so long on Melee HD.

They don't even need to change anything (actually, DON'T change anything). Just boost the resolution, add online and it's done.

We can finally retire CRTs in Evo.

 

[chillybright]

Aren't some of those games very awkward to play in probable mode without motion control? For example skyward sword and some levels in Galaxy?

 

[EDarkness]

Don't bring back motion controls.

No one asked for those.

Actually...they did. Whole reason I'm buying one!

 

[Skyzard]

Not keen on this idea as a WiiU and PC owner, Mk8, Zelda, and Splatoon basically are already.

 

[Flandy]

Hey my Xenoblade screenshots made it to the OP :lol

[Movalpolos]

No thanks.

 

[EndlessFloydian]

Eurogamer's Tom Philips thinks we're supposedly getting GameCube games on Switch Virtual Console.

Still not sure how some of the games will work with Switch's digital triggers though.

 

[Hastati]

#FE HD

Could even run twitter campaigns #FEHDupwithgreatgamesgoingunnoticed

I really hope they save some of Wii U's library

 

[marc^o^]

Remasters would be cool, though I'd gladly take a Virtual Console launching day 1 with Super Monkey Ball & Excite Truck.

What are the chances of this happening?

 

[Angel_DvA]

Bayonetta 1/2 + Xenoblade for me.

 

[Jigolo]

Galaxy 1 & 2 pls

 

[JB2448]

Given that Nintendo seems to be following certain industry trends, both positive (Nintendo Accounts, no more region lock) and negative (paid online), you might just get your wish.
As for whether or not it's positive or negative? Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

 

[Peltz]

Xenoblade Chronicles would be amazing.

 

[TheDinoman]

Maybe they want you to buy the latest Smash games instead or something.

Honestly, I'd just prefer for Sakurai to get his head out of the mud and just make the next Smash a proper successor to Melee gameplay wise instead of doing a cheap port and keeping the series and its fanbases divided forever. Give Smash its Mario Odyssey, I say (and this is someone who likes Smash 4).

Speaking of which, said it once, I'll say it again...Kid Icarus Uprising HD. Make it happen.

 

[-shadow-]

Metroid Prime Trilogy and Xenoblade Chronicles HD would be amazing. But only if they outsource the projects of course. Also no mention of Eternal Darkness OP? Shame!

 

[JStein0222]

The value proposition is really high for me when considering the games are portable too, honestly makes Virtual Console way more exciting. I have never bought into it in a meaningful way, but N64 games (and potentially gamecube ones) sounds amazing. Recently I've been itching for Diddy Kong Racing in particular.

The games posted in OP are great starts. Would definitely revisit the Mario Galaxy games, and I never played the Metroid trilogy or Skyward Sword!

 

[Gitaroo]

just want Metroid Prime Trilogy remake, not remaster, full remake.

 

[cubicle47b]

I'd love to see Galaxy I & II. They keep releasing remasters of Zelda games.

 

[FarFromAnyGame]

Unless they remove the motion controls. Otherwise, no thanks!

 

[opricnik]

Please no make new games,milk engines,assets but new games. Majora mask 2 with botw engine, 3D world 2 with oddsey engine etc


Fuck remasters play them on PC if you want so much. Nintendo unlike other companies makes ports mostly in house ,that should have gone for new game(manpower).

 

[JohnTinker]

F-Zero GX ;_;

 

[GinoFelino]

Yes please!

Nintendo HD remasters actually deserve to be made + having those great games portable makes it extra good.

Easy money and easy padding of the release schedule!

 

[Visualante2]

It has been ten years since Metroid Prime 3. It has been 8 years since the prequels were remastered. We need to move on. New game or let sleeping Metroids lie.

The thing is Nintendo never responds to what people actually want.

 

[Persona7]

I would prefer direct ports rather than low quality emulation Nintendo is known for. Input delay on Melee in any form would make it DOA to competitive players so I can't see Nintendo going that route.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

I don't understand why Nintendo is taking so long on Melee HD.

They don't even need to change anything (actually, DON'T change anything). Just boost the resolution, add online and it's done.

Why would they take the time and effort to rework Melee in HD when they already have a high definition Smash game ready to go to sell you?

 

[jon bones]

Yes! Tantalus should be doing all of these and removing motion controls.

Fuck remasters play them on PC if you want so much. Nintendo unlike other companies makes ports mostly in house ,that should have gone for new game(manpower).

Wrong on both accounts - my PC doesn't fit on the subway and Nintendo outsources ports.

 

[VDenter]

F Zero GX HD

 

[Mortemis]

Yes please to all of those in the OP

Also us to bringing over the FE wii games, always wanted to get to playing those.

 

[oti]

All I want is Mario Galaxy HD on the go.

 

[Stevey]

Or they could, you know, make new games to play on their new system.

 

[zoukka]

And. So. They. Will.

 

[infinityBCRT]

Ones I'd like to see in the first year:
Super Mario Maker
Smash 4
Wind Waker HD
Bayonetta 2

Others I'd like to see eventually:
Punchout
Mario Galaxy 1+2
New Super Mario Bros collection
Super Mario 3D World + 3D Land
Metroid Prime Trilogy

 

[Cipherr]

Gamers have gone mad.
