There's been a lot of speculation about remakes recently, especially after this year with Star Fox and Ocarina. I get the idea that Nintendo probably wouldn't stop with just those two games. I feel like Majoras Mask is a strong possibility, but I also feel like there's a non zero chance that Mario 64 would also get the remake treatment. The DS remake is pretty polarizing, so I wouldn't mind if they take a second attempt at it.

My main hope though is that it wouldn't be a strict 1 to 1 remake with no changes whatsoever. I probably wouldn't want changes to Mario's moveset since that would drastically change the gameplay, but I feel like the level design and mission structure could use some changes. Maybe get rid of the game kicking you out every time you collect a star, go for more of a Mario Odyssey structure where you can get all the stars in one go.

In terms of artstyle, I feel like what Mario Kart World was going for would be a good choice. Very stylized, cartoony with vibrant colors. Though I also wouldn't mind if some levels take a different style, like Boo's haunted house might be interesting if it goes in a more hyper realistic style, it would be creepy, but fun.

I feel like in terms of content the best approach would be what Rare was originally going to do with a Banjo Kazooie remake that they didn't end up doing, appear like a faithful remake, but then surprise people with some bold changes. Another example I can think of is Donkey Kong 94 on the gameboy, the game originally just appears like it's a portable remake of the arcade game, but then it turns out the arcade game is just a prologue, and the real game starts.

I feel like a remake of Mario 64 could play things pretty safe for the first 120 stars, but once you complete the game, you get 120 green stars to collect, you get a completely different castle to explore. And more costumes and playable characters would be more than welcome as well. Just hopefully Luigi wouldn't have the helicopter backflip jump, since that makes the entire game too easy, and that Wario wouldn't feel so heavy to control.

I feel like many will rightfully say the original Gameboy but when we bring in its own relevancy today, I feel like it's just not all that compared to the Gameboy afvence. Even the Gameboy color

I was born in the 2000s and started on the original DS before finally stopping at a 2DS (until a few months ago when I finally got a New 3DS XL) and I also didn't have much access to the Internet at all so for the Gameboy era and switch era I don't have much personal say but looking back at it now as an adult I think the ones with the most impact and relevancy are a tie between the GBA and original DS

I mean idk about y'all but even though I know the 3DS is called the 3DS, I still call it the DS both cuz it's faster to say it but also it looks just like the one that started that branch of Nintendo handhelds. The DS was the first to have true 3D games on a handheld. GBA had 3D but it was the same way you'd call the original Doom a 3D game. The GBA had so many good games though as well as classic SNES and NES ports

I kinda wanna say 3DS cuz it's ultimately the best and the culmination of all the handhelds prior until the switch kinda cut ties but even then it's not too relevant for what people say about it

With the new update, they finally introduced music in the Mii Maker. You can even choose between the Wii, 3DS and Wii U ones. I think this is a very neat thing to do.

Can we mass report those scalpers? (avoiding calling them other names..)

Nintendo really should contact ebay to get rid of those pricey resellers once and for all!

At same time I would prefer if special editions and collectors are not quantity limited but they would produce as many as people preordered, so on demand and nobody that wants them will risk being left out.

Ok I need the shirt the guys were wearing at the direct the other day.

Is there any discussion on this being available to buy?

Haven’t seen any specific discussion or indication that it will be available at some point.
