Nintendo proves with Metroid Prime Remastered that the GameCube library is worth revisiting. Here are 22 more games that deserve some HD love.
F-Zero GX was (is) so so SO good. Would love to see that a proper remaster. Already looked stunning back then, and played so smooth. Gamecube controllers were good as well. I think mine all still work flawlessly.
Never played Skies of Arcadia, but would love to some day.
Power Stone 1/2 deserves a comeback.
Deffo Luigi’s Mansion
I doubt it but it would be awesome to have new modes when going through it again similar to the Mirror Mode
They should release a collection of 1 and 2 together as remastered (although I would prefer a remake).
Luigis Mansion 3 was amazing
Mario Kart: Double Dash - SSX Tricky - Star Fox Adventures - Tony Hawk's American Wasteland - Sonic Adventure 2 - Pokémon Colosseum
You pick Star Fox Adventures but not Rogue Squadron 2 or 3??
I'll take some Star Fox though. Would rather then remaster Zero instead. Just stop the motion controls.
I haven't owned a Nintendo console since the GameCube, but if they were to do a quality remaster of Eternal Darkness, I'd get a Switch in a heartbeat...even if only for that game.
I’d like to see a full remake rather than a remaster of this one. It would benefit so much from a more modern control and camera setup. It felt a little cringey to me when I tried playing through a couple years ago.
By far my favorite game during that era though and my #1 pick as well to see brought up to date!
NO!!
No more remasters! I want NEW iterations of Nintendo IP, not rehashes! Give me a NEW Mario Kart, give me a NEW F-Zero, give me a NEW Metroid Prime, give me a new Waverace, etc!!!
but we are getting a new Metroid Prime. What's the harm in having some classics remastered to help fill in some gaps?
Because Nintendo struggles at being prolific with putting out 1st party games as it is! I dont want their seemingly limited resources being tied up with remastering old titles. I want new stuff. I cant believe we are 6 years in with the Switch and still, no new Donkey Kong, no new Punch Out, no new F-Zero, no new Waverace, no new Mario Kart, no new Star Fox, no new Kid Icarus, no new Metroid Prime, no new Earthbound, and only one new Mario game! ONE new Mario in 6 years (well two I guess if you count Mario Maker 2 bur I consider that a rehash). And they have a freaking movie coming out this year, with no game tie in! What has happened to Nintendo?? I remember between 2006 and 2015, we got nine new Mario games! In six years with Switch, one! But by God they'll flood us with a hundred Pokémon games, farm sims, and cell shaded anime junk!
@RaiderNation this is where 3rd party studios can come in though. Plenty of skilled studios that could handle something like a remaster since the game itself isn't being changed.
Good Mario games take time to make. How many 3D Mario titles did we get on the Wii? Galaxy and Galaxy 2? Wii U we got Mario 3D World. The "New Super Mario Bros" games were just filler in my opinion.
Nintendo doesn't make Pokemon titles, Game Freak does. And what does cel-shaded graphics have anything to do with the quality of a game? Are you 15 or something where only 4K photorealistic graphics make it possible to enjoy a title?
@Neonridr
No I am far from 15 lol. Cell shading is fine once in a while. Its a graphical style that can look beautiful if done correctly. But I feel there's been an over reliance on it with Switch, (no doubt to help counter the weak performance of the hardware). Its like anime. After you see so much of it, it all kind of starts looking the same.
"Good Mario games take time to make"
You're right and I didnt realistically expect 9 Mario games in 6 years on Switch. I just pointed that statistic out to show how huge of a drop off it has become. Mario Odyssey was great...six years ago! Wheres the new one? Yes they take time but...six years?? Come on! Hideo Kojima made Death Stranding in 3 years with infinitely more complexity! And to not have a new Mario game ready to coincide with the release of the movie?? That seems like a misstep. What the hell have they been doing the last 6 years?? Have they ALL been working on just Zelda???
It's time for Homer to get back behind the wheel.
No, thanks. They need to make a new game instead. They could do alot more with the advanced tech.
You know they could do both right?
It's not like it's some rule they could only do one or the other ?
The Simpsons Hit & Run already has an unofficial remake made by a developer Reubs who has done it for fun.
The publisher should just get together with him. It would save them time and money and give him a financial reward for helping bring back the hype for what is one of the best GTA style games.

We’ve been asking for this forever and while I would love it, I doubt we’ll get it.
Chuck it onto the “needs a remake” list alongside MGS etc.
I'd love it but it's in licensing hell by all accounts. Seems rights are tied up everywhere including now defunct companies.
I'd prefer a new Simpsons game. Hit and run while fun relied to much on racing. Eh. To this day I would love for them to just make a straight up open world Simpsons game. So much could be done it would be dope af. Last I knew ea had game rights. Good luck
With emphasis on the planet and that these days. A captain planet open world game could be dope af to.
No thank you.
I think this is massively viewed with rose tinted glasses.
I picked up a PS2 again a couple of years back and Hit&Run was one of the games I got alongside it. Yeah…rose tinted glasses.
Absolutely, definitely was one of my most played PS2 games alongside San Andreas & SOCOM.
Some game should stay in their respective generation.
Nintendo's little purple square didn't get the acclaim at the time, but the best GameCube games show what a powerhouse it really was.
Oh man... FZero. That is actually the only game I ever got sick off of. And Im not talking motion sick but full on seizure induced sick. It was so damn fast that my eyes just couldnt keep up and I found myself waking up in the hospital. Havent even tried to play it since, nearly 20 years ago. I can play wipeout, fast racing RMX, burnout... lots of other really fast racing games no problem. FZero really F'd me up that day.
Other cube games I never get tired of playing are mario kart dd, metroid prime, rogue leader and ikaruga
Man, we need a Viewtiful Joe and Viewtiful Joe 2 remake, along with F-Zero GX, Metroid Prime 1,2,3, can't forget Eternal Darkness, damn that game was amazing, Baten Kaitos as well. Noticed I said remake not remaster, I would love them to be remade in a whole new engine brought up to at least 2022 standards.😊 Remade on Switch and ones that are 3rd party can go multi-platform.
Honestly that console was up there in my top 3. So many good innovative games. Eternal Darkness was brilliant with the way it messed with you….aka your controller is disconnected… lol. Metroid, Zelda, Viewtiful Joe, and so many others. I miss playing them. Been thinking of buying a GameCube and jumping back into the nostalgia.
Legit series keep it up
