Nintendo's HD remakes for Wii U?

With the Wii U getting HD capability, do you think there should be various HD remakes from Nintendo for it? Like for example Wind Waker HD, F-Zero GX HD, Paper Mario HD, Metroid Prime Trilogy HD, ect. They could enhance these games in more than resolution, i.e. with new features like a online multi-play mode for example, higher quality textures and the like. Also, what do you think of remaking SNES classics like the DKC series, Mario World 1 & 2, Super Metroid, Mario RPG, Kirby series and All-Stars in HD graphics? I think they could look amazing in true HD. A full-blown remake of Mario 64 and Ocarina in a new graphical engine would also be very nice.

What do you think?

I'd like some HD remakes, but not a ton.

I can't see N64 releases getting a full blown remake, at least not for the Wii U.

Nintendo only has so many development teams, and so many people. Unlike Microsoft, Sony or 3rd parties, I think it's a well known fact that Nintendo has smaller teams working on games, and will now need a lot more people to do HD games.

So using their resources to work on remakes, or HD overhauls when they could have those people work on original titles for the Wii U would be a bad idea.

I would like to see some HD upgrades similar to what they did with the God of War collection for example. But I think those teams could better be used for original titles.

Not bothered either way on the others you mentioned but, as I said in another thread, Wind Waker doesn't need a HD remake.spike6958

If you saw how sharp it looks via various "PC programs" you wouldn't think that ;)

I would easily buy HD remakes of games like Metroid Prime, Twilight Princess, Mario Galaxy, Xenoblade and The Last Story.

I could see them doing that for F-Zero GX, and adding an oline mode to it. I won't lie, if that were to do that, I would buy the game day one. That game looks great, even today, imo. Though, ofcourse I would prefer a all new entry into the F-Zero series rather than a remake, but what ever.

You have a major factor to consider:Nintendo's best exclusive online service, Virtual Console, the whole point is to be able to play tons of the games from yesteryear, HD remakes are work in themselves to the point where your starting from scratch.

No, I'll be very disappointed if they strip GameCube backwards compatibility and then spoon feed us those games again at full price as remakes. Which i'm certain will happen, and people will buy them. meetroid8

Honestly the Only Nintendo games that I'd want to see remade in HD are:

Perfect Dark (The 360 version has no Motion Control option so that doesn't count)

That's a RARE game not a Nintendo game, therefore there is no chance of it getting a HD remake for the WiiU.

I'm tired of seeing HD "remakes", all they are are old games upscaled to HD and some look bad because of it. They aren't remakes really, all they are are upscales and I hope Nintendo don't go down the same path with the WiiU.

I really really hope not. The HD remake thing is being beat to death, there aren't going to be any new games anymore, just an HD remake of every other game that ever came out. I wasn't crazy about the NPC Wii games and I have no interest in games being upscaled. Sepewrath

Take a chill pill and calm yourself down.

I read the other posts quickly and didn't see his :roll:

But anyway, there is more of a chance of The Last Story getting a HD remake on the WiiU than Perfect Dark because, unlike RARE, Mistwalker and AQ Interactive (co-developers of the game) aren't owned by another company.

Rogue Squadron games, all of them including Battle for Naboo given HD remakes.

Stunt Race FX would be glorious with updated visuals and better framerates,

That's the first time I've heard someone mention this game in this context :P

I think the Super FX enhanced games should retain their original look if they were to be remaked, just increase the resolution and framerate. Something like this would totaly do imo.

Take this as another example, there was an article on GI about how the creator of Alone in the Dark wants an HD remake, instead of making a new game in the series. This is what I mean, that same "Its alright attitude, it wont be that bad" you have, is the same one people had about DLC like 4yrs ago. Look at the situation now. When remakes prove to be as much big business as new release, but at a fraction of the cost, what do you think is going to happen?

Also, that video you posted would be PERFECT for remakes. I'd love a Stunt Race with that kind of Framerate and Online Play

melee...with online attached..

if possible smash bros 64 too with online..

please nintendo.

The Wind Waker would look great in HDZumaJones07

depends on what they offer. If all they do is port it to wii u with hd then no. If they upgrade the games textures effects and sound then yes.

Super Mario Sunshine looks awesome in HD too.

I think they should only release rare games as HD remakes because it would give more people a chance to play those games. I'm thinking games like Eternal Darkness, Doshin the Giant (Never released in North America), Cubivore (Never released in Europe), Zengeki no Reginleiv (Never released outside of Japan) Nintendo wants more hardcore gamers why not release some of these games in HD since alot of people never played them.

And Rare are 100% owned by XBOX now

[QUOTE="Sepewrath"][QUOTE="campzor"]skipped on GC and Wii (except mario and ssb) so i would HD remake em all and buy em allcampzor

If you play Wii games on the WiiU you'll still need to use the Wiimote, also the WiiU wont be BC with the GameCube so you'll either need to hope they get released on the VC or will need to buy a GC/Wii to play them.

[QUOTE="campzor"][QUOTE="Sepewrath"] It would be cheaper to just buy a Wii and get the Wii and GC games. KnightSkull

[QUOTE="campzor"] ye probably...but then id have to buy wii AND wii u to play both whereas if i get a wii u i can have em all on 1 system.. Also i HATE the wii and wiimote so id rather play with the tabletcampzor

Too bad :P

I agree, just running it in 1080p and cleaning up a few textures here and there would be good. It already looks fantastic at 1080p in Dolphin. This is the best Zelda game to go with too since OoT just was remade for 3DS and Majora's will probably follow.

It's not like it would do anything besides upscale the games to look better on newer TVs. It doesn't make the graphics look better. Look at Jak and Daxter HD Collection. The graphics are the same, the game just got upscaled to look better on a High Def TV. So in other words: No. I don't want them.

There's some games I'd like to be remade, particularly the ones that I missed out on. As long as they aren't treated as 'big' releases instead of actual new games. Basically, I don't want Nintendo to remove resources on a new project to make HD Remakes.

No disc no buy I hate dlc. With that said I'm all for hd remakes. I want to see Zelda WW TP and SS all on one disc. I want RE4 REmake and 0 all on one disc. I want both Viewtiful Joe games on one disc.

I would say Metroid Prime Trilogy but I already own it. It looks just as good on my LCD TV as PS3 remakes.

I am not a big fa of that idea. I would rather see them just focus on producing brand new games.
