Wait....... could this be Bluepoint's "most ambitious undertaking" that they kept hinting at?

I doubt they would be remade in-house at Nintendo.

My guess is the majority of them will be done by Nintendo (games that don't take much additional work). Grezzo would be the perfect candidate for Super Mario 64. They did The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D and The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening before.

 

[Jayjayhd34]

Peeps gonna be paying a full $60 to play Mario Galaxy again

I would in a heart beat

 

[JimboJones]

Well I hope it's better than their 25th anniversary, Super Mario All Stars Wii, £40 for a rom on disk and as an extra slap in the face 50htz to boot.

 

[Erimus]

Hugely on board with this. Never had the chance to finish Mario Galaxy or play 2. Exciting.

 

[Spukc]

MOAR REMAKES REMASTERS

 

[entremet]

MOAR REMAKES

Technically these will be remasters ;p

 

[iconmaster]

still liked Sunshine more than most 3D Mario games and I have impeccable taste

Sir, you may consider your taste pecced!

 

[Rock And Roll]

I'm all in for a Galaxy 1+2 HD Remaster. Was never too big on 64 or Sunshine, but it would be nice for them to do something with Sunshine. I know a lot of people hold that game in high regard and there's really no other way to play it other than owning a GC or emulating it.

 

[Senua]

This is great but it would be nice to get games I haven't played before.

You don't sound like a switch owner to me. Imposter! get him boys

 

[Orta]

Somebody hold my penis! Erm hand, I mean hand.

I'd love to see an updated Mario All-Stars above all.

 

[iconmaster]

Hugely on board with this. Never had the chance to finish Mario Galaxy or play 2. Exciting.

You are in for some good times. And if they're brought over at 1080p60...

 

[yodine53]

Happy because i didn't play Super Mario Galaxy, but RIP to Super Mario Odyssey 2 on Switch. No way they will release another mainline game this gen with all this.

 

[EightBit Man]

Where the fuck is Metroid Prime Trilogy HD?

This is just my take on it: maybe next year, along with Metroid Prime 4? There's also a rumored Super Metroid and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past remake supposedly in the works, and both of these series have a 35th anniversary in the upcoming year. I do hope earlier though, because the Metroid Prime games are amazing

PLEASE DON'T FUCK UP YOSHI'S ISLAND PLEASE DON'T FUCK UP YOSHI'S ISLAND PLEASE DON'T FUCK UP YOSHI'S ISLAND

on another note

SUPER MARIO GALAXY HECK YEAH SUPER MARIO GALAXY HECK YEAH SUPER MARIO GALAXY HECK YEAH

 

[Codes 208]

The galaxies games and sunshine is the obvious ones.

Id say 64 is the obvious one.

Peeps gonna be paying a full $60 to play Mario Galaxy again

I dont see the issue with that, there are people who will spend $60 two to eight times just to replay skyrim on all their devices.

hell, skyrim SE and skyrim psvr both launched at $60 as seperate sku’s on one single platform.

 

[phil_t98]

Remasters Mario 64? please tell me it aint just a straight port. it needs higher res textures and keep everything else the same

 

[RAIDEN1]

Instead of this, they should have been re-mastering F-Zero....

 

[Erimus]

You are in for some good times. And if they're brought over at 1080p60...

Definitely man! Exciting times, hope it’s true haha!

 

[GV82]

Like this sort of thing but remastered and different games obviously

Or

Like this but over 2 collections?

 

[Windows-PC]

Awesome!

 

[Self High Five]

Please do not dump a rom, run it in a crappy emulator with a ton of input lag, and call it an anniversary collection this time.

Thanks.

lol, they'll charge $60 a piece instead and their fanbase will eat it up.

 

[Lionel Richie]

lol, they'll charge $60 a piece instead and their fanbase will eat it up.

Stay mad friend.

 

[its_Ditz]

.

 

[Doom85]

Mario 64, Galaxy 1 and 2, and 3D World all on Switch??! Will be awesome if true. (I like Sunshine okay but not as much as the others)

New Paper Mario, huh? If it's more like the first two games, then hype levels through the roof, but it'll likely be more like the two most recent games. God, I'd rather even have the 3rd Paper Mario game over what it turned into afterwards, the 3rd one wasn't on par with the first two but it was still fairly good.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

lol, they'll charge $60 a piece instead and their fanbase will eat it up.

If they do a good job, that's fine with me.

 

[Self High Five]

Stay mad friend.

If they do a good job, that's fine with me.

Scratch that, $100 a piece. Nintendo underestimates how creepy their sychophantic fanbase is. It borderline Stockholm Syndrome.

 

[Ceadeus]

You have to understand that a large number of Switch owners will have never played any of these games, smart move by Nintendo if true, I personally would like Sunshine, as I never gave it a proper go when released.

On the other hand, they could also use this resource and time to produce something new. That is why I struggle with this idea!

Nintendo Life article:

Nintendo is set to remaster "most of Super Mario’s 35-year back catalogue" on Switch to celebrate the franchise's 35th anniversary this year, according to a new report.

The monumental news comes from trusted site VGC, which credits "multiple sources" for the information provided. Apparently, Nintendo is set to hold an event which will coincide with the anniversary, with all plans due to be revealed alongside new details of Nintendo’s partnership with Universal and more.

The specific games theoretically coming our way haven't been mentioned, but the report mentions that as well as the remasters noted above, "several other Mario titles" are also launching in 2020, including a new Paper Mario game.

We can't quite believe what we're writing, so we'll be staying glued to our screens for the foreseeable future and will, of course, update you should Nintendo announce these plans officially.

In the meantime, though, feel free to share your excitement with us in the comments below. Which games would you like to see? Super Mario Galaxy? Super Mario Sunshine? Everything ever? Wow.

Nintendo To Remaster 'Most Of Super Mario’s 35-Year Catalogue' For Switch in 2020, New Report Says

Update: Galaxy, Sunshine, 64 all reportedly in the works

www.nintendolife.com

Update from Eurogamer:

Eurogamer sources have indicated that Mario Galaxy is indeed one of the games being readied for a remaster, alongside a couple of other 3D Mario favourites. [UPDATE: Gematsu has now confirmed these as Mario 64 and Mario Sunshine, which Eurogamer can corroborate.]

Many earlier Mario games are already available on Switch via the console's Switch Online NES and SNES apps.

Second, the report states "several other Mario titles" will release in 2020, including a new Paper Mario.

Eurogamer sources have confirmed a new Paper Mario is in the works, along with a Deluxe version of Super Mario 3D World, which will include an array of new levels. This long-rumoured Wii U port is one of a couple of first-party games from Nintendo's previous console currently due for a new lease of life in 2020.

Sunshine, is its damn time

Also, not the case considering this Rumor talks about remaster, but why not remake Mario 64 in an odissey vein?

Would be awesome, as well as the same thing with sunshine

 

[buizel]

uh huh

im sure theyll just re-release them rendered at higher res for most.

 

[TwoDurans]

Awesome idea! I really really really hope they don't try to push these at $60 unless it's a bundle.

 

[Esppiral]

Gimme Dolphino Plaza that's all I want.

Almost as bad as the other lot masturbating over an ssd in an underpowered console.

 

[V2Tommy]

Cool! A neat play to play a blurry, upscaled version of Yoshi's Island with the sound effects incorrect! Just what I needed!

 

[Zog]

Wait...ports on the Switch? I can't imagine that.

 

[Benjamin_MFF]

When is the date of the 35th anniversary?

 

[Zog]

Almost as bad as the other lot masturbating over an ssd in an underpowered console.

Well, you can't really call the PS5 under powered in a Nintendo Switch thread.

 

[GV82]

I’ve never played the Galaxy games, looking forward to all these.

If they all turn out good remasters and then we get Prime Trilogy eventually too, I will argue that this Nintendos best console for games (but the online and other features maybe not the best)

Whatever happened to the extra Metroid games rumoured to come too? anyone remember that runour too?

 

[ultrazilla]

What are the chances this collection comes on a single 32 gig card?
I've always wanted a proper Super Mario 64 high def remaster.
Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 Remastered Collection right into my veins please.
These(again IF true) *should* all run at 1080p/60fps docked, 720/60fps handheld.

 

[Yoshi]

I guess we will have to wait for Switch 2 to get some new games?

 

[Fake]

N64 games on Switch is a big win for me.

 

[ultrazilla]

I guess we will have to wait for Switch 2 to get some new games?

I really think they were gonna announce it but due to the current pandemic, are waiting for later in the year. Perhaps they will
around the time E3 *would* have taken place. /looks back for iconmaster entering room

 

[EverythingsOverrated]

I just hope that the Mario64 remaster is based on the N64 version and not that silly DS port.

Also would be great if they could tweak certain things in Sunshine like the camera or being asked to save the game every time you get a blue coin

 

[iconmaster]

/iconmaster entered the room

Oh, I've got no beef with a Switch 2. If it plays new games not compatible with Switch, that is absolutely a product I expect to happen.

Yes!!!!!!!!

 

[Rin_Chan]

Not a fan of remakes and remasters but god damn, Mario 64 and Galaxy are literally the best games ever released. Must... resist...

 

[Deleted member 17706]

If they rebuilt Mario Galaxy to be played without motion controls, I would be delighted.

I'd also be down to play through Mario 64 again.

 

[Wunray]

Kinda want a remake for 64 the others can be up resed remasters.
