Nintendo has one of video games’ most impressive backlogs, but it is missing a lot of golden opportunities with its Virtual Console.
"30 years after its launch, however, Super Metroid for the SNES remains the undisputed king of the franchise in terms of its atmosphere and tone. " - Ollie Reynolds | NintendoLife
Fusion did a great job at it. Really love that horror feel with metroid. I mean you are completely alone on alien planets filled with horrific monsters and toxic environments.
Releasing the Nintendo Switch 2 with a Super Mario 64 remake would be the perfect way to unleash the console to the world.
If they ever did I hope they would add onto it, there's so much you could do with Princess Peach's castle alone
Or just make the Mario 128... the cancelled sequel that sounded amazing (or was it just an amazing tale).
Funny that after all these years, we still use 64 bit CPUs, so it wouldn't make sense to call it that.
Each level is pretty small today in the original game, I don't like huge levels but I think they could be at least 2x bigger, or close to it and more of them, with more things to do.
They could do a mix of having open levels and more linear ones like in 3D World or Land, I doubt they will do that but it would make a change.
I mean Odyssey's levels weren't massive, but requiring you to do different things in each world is what made the levels feel bigger than they were.
I'd prefer a Oydessey 2 or Galaxy 3. Besides the DS
game was a Mario 64 remake complete with more playable characters, stages, bosses and muti player content.
I did not like Odyssey i found the idea of ot lame.. i find it boring to just look for moons instead of exploring and enjoying the levels. Let’s not talk about the extremely repetitive and ridiculously easy bosses. Level design is so meh most of the time. Galaxy 2 is a far better game so Galaxy 3 anytime!!!
Agreed. I enjoyed Odyssey for a while, but it quickly became very formulaic where each level felt like a checklist of things to do with WAY too many moons to find. The Galaxy series were the best, as they took some of what made 64 great and juiced it up perfectly.
Yes! Let's release an almost 30 year old game to kick off the next generation for Nintendo...
I'm over re-releases...FEED ME NEW MARIO!
The 2024 Game Anniversaries include some major titles including Half-Life 2, Uncharted 2, and Minecraft.
Meh
they really should have an online component to games like melee, or mario kart 64 or mario party 1-3, it would really tug nostalgia strings and friends that have separated can relive their memories.
They need to add Gamecube games
You know how there's a sonic's ultimate sega genesis collection? They should come out with an ultimate n64 collection, with increased resolution and widescreen. Only problem is if they don't have rights to rareware's games, the collection wouldn't be near as good without it.
Hope Nintendo figures it out & gets it together. The Virtual Console games brings back memories, Nintendo has the chance to have one of the best catalogs of games ever compiled that is within reach at one location. More games are needed.
