They wouldn't even be able to get regular GoldenEye, let alone making an online version.

What's the "one new thing" Nintendo could add to the N64 Mini (like Star Fox 2) ?

Capcom, Square Enix, Konami and Microsoft all have games worth putting on there.

Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon needs to be on there. I'd replace Mega Man 64 with it (since Legends is superior).

Oh wow, just looked that up. That would have been cool.
Bolded was my first though, actually go back and implement the stop n swop, could be amazing after all these years.

Id love an option to run the games at the original variable framerate or a locked 30/60fps.

I can see them only adding Master Quest but I'd love to have the F-Zero Expansion Kit.

This.
I would've played so much of that game if this had been released on N64 in Europe.

Yes.
No pokemon stadium is a travesty...
That will come with the GBA... player mini I guess?
unfortunately most of the interesting cancelled stuff was licensed, like Robotech 64, or was made by a now outside developer, like Twelve Tales and Dinosaur Planet.
The easiest one would likely be F-Zero Xpansion.
It'd be cool if they could get the prototypes / alphas of Ocarina of Time in there and present it as a historical curiosity, but I don't think we even know if Nintendo kept copies of those builds.

Metroid 64 early demos (if they ever existed).
Seriously though, the fact that we can't get most RARE games with this would make N64 mini very underwhelming.

They should put a handful of 64DD titles on there.
They effectively don't exist for the majority of the world, so I think that would be huge and generate headlines similar to StarFox 2.

There was a Metroid planned for N64 by an external developer (my guess is DMA Design).

F-Zero X 64DD.
What's with people begging for online play on the N64, it had 4 controller ports for a reason. The biggest and most exciting thing about the N64 for me was sitting around a screen with 3 friends, why take that away, it's not retro and that's what these mini consoles are - retro.

Releasing it with GoldenEye at all would be a bigger miracle (and a far more impactful one) than Star Fox 2.
Realistically: localized Sin & Punishment is set to be unobtainable at this point, with the Wii shop going down and the Wii U hardware discontinued. It may show up if VC on the Switch finally happens, but it would effectively be an exclusive on a prospective N64 Classic, playable on the original controller for the first time, and is an inclusion I absolutely see happening if an N64 Classic materializes at all.

I thought it was Retro making the N64 game that eventually turned into Prime on the GC?
Agree, it would definitely be the killer app, considering how beloved its multiplayer was. A would be a very notable absentee, most people probably aren't aware of the rights situation so it could lead to a lot of the N64 fanbase being pissed off.
I still think the N64 mini would be essential even without the Rare catalogue, but many others wouldn't.
There was always talk back in the day (Metroid using the OoT engine, etc) but there was never anything confirmed or shown. The earliest post-Super Metroid Metroid footage was the stuff with the dodgy framerate from the unveiling of the GCN.

WWE updating No Mercy with current talent is the only realistic idea I have.
Make games run natively in 16:9.
Include four controllers with built-in Rumble and Controller Paks.
Localise Animal Crossing.
Earthbound 64? Did that get deep enough in development?
I think Nintendo will do everything in their power to get GoldenEye 007.
They could put Virtual Boy games on it!

first post wins the thread.
the F-Zero X Expansion Kit i the only SF2-caliber thing they've got on N64 with a similar potential impact. this is the Mario Maker of the F-Zero series basically (minus online features for obvious reasons)
A cartridge slot.
This was asked several times over around the release of the nes classic, to the point of it becoming something that you would roll your eyes at in response. Having read through this thread I think having a cartridge slot would provide half an answer to those desperate for Goldeneye whilst avoiding the rights issue.
It would also be a "hey we listened to your feedback about your favourite game not being on the system" kind of thing. Although it would open up a quagmire of compatibility issues, particularly since N64 emulation sometimes requires per game compatibility fixes on low spec hardware.
It is arguably far less likely than 64DD extras like F Zero X, but outside of there being an unknown, unreleased first party game ready to be put on the system I would struggle to think of anything else that would be vaguely feasible.
The other possibility would be if they added something to an existing game that called back to old rumours and fan theories, like finding the triforce in Ocarina of Time or playing as Luigi in Mario 64, but again this would be really pushing it, since it would require 20 year old development resources being resurrected from the dead.

How about the original version of Wave Race, with the morphing speedboats?
Best footage I could find of it
I was always pretty curious about that one, especially given how it appeared to completely change so late in development.
