Say it with me now.
LET THE CONTROLLER DIE!
Regardless of what skeptics on the internet like to say, literally EVERYBODY has their
ideal remaster for their preferred platform.
I don't care HOW MUCH you SAY you only want new games, there's a remaster announcement
that could excite you if it were to come to pass.
Some people are just more honest about it!
In the interest of that honesty, I wanna talk about some GameCube games that I think should
get a second life of sorts on Nintendo Switch.
GameCube was a really under appreciated console in Nintendo's history.
It was the last time they cared about competing with Sony & Microsoft on a 1:1 basis, it was
the beginnings of Nintendo lending their I.P to other studios to make cool *censored*,
& it was the birthing place of what dumb people call the best Nintendo controller.
Now before I really jump into this list, 3 things: FIRST, this isn't meant to be THE
DEFINITIVE collection of GameCube games that have ever existed and should therefore be
the only remasters to exist on Switch.
It's MY list!
Turns out, you're legally allowed to have your own opinion.
Leave'm in the comments!
I'd love to check'm out.
We'll even talk about some of them on our podcast!
Directly to You!
That goes live every Saturday at 4PM Eastern!
NEXT, remasters don't mean new games can't exist.
It does not take up any resources.
Outside studios work on these games.
Not big studios that would work on the next big thing, so, no point of complaining about
that.
We all want new games.
They will come regardless.
LASTLY, Virtual Console is dead.
Let's all except it.
MOVING ON!
First of all, HOW IN THE WORLD is Luigi's Mansion coming out later this year and NOT
coming to Nintendo Switch??
I know there's still people that are unfortunate enough to be stuck with the rotting remains
of Nintendo 3DS and everything.
I appreciate the fact that they want fresh content, but, why make Nintendo Switch owners
suffer??
We should get Luigi's Mansion too!
HD Rumble could enhance the experience a lot, ESPECIALLY when you consider the audio capabilities
that come with it.
I wanna hear ghosts, Luigi's terrified musings, and Poltergust sounds.
Also, the obvious benefit of playing a higher fidelity version of the game both on a screen
that has a better resolution than a postage stamp AND on the TV.
Cause, y'know, the original game IS a console game.
I get that Nintendo developed the game with the intention of making it stereoscopic 3D
and everything, but, who is REALLY using that?
Let's be honest, most people will use the 3D once MAYBE twice at best.This game is WAAAAYYY
to spooky to play all the way through in 3D.
No mere mortal could handle the sheer horror that is Luigi's Mansion.
So much so in fact, I'm gonna stop torturing you guys and talk about a much more light
hearted game Eternal Darkness.
This game was knocking on the door of maximizing the potential of the medium.
To me, a game that's worth crazy accolades is a game that seeks to use the medium for
everything it is.
They shouldn't just want to be a movie that lets you press X sometimes, they shouldn't
just be a game with a pointless story to facilitate phenomenal gameplay.
It should be a marriage of all of that.
Eternal Darkness specifically is notable in this regard because of how it uses the medium
to freak the player out with the usage "Sanity Effects."
All of which could be improved with the increased capabilities of Nintendo Switch.
Maybe some effects could be updated to be more believable like the TV volume bar using
information from the system settings to display a volume bar that's indicative of your actual
TV model, or maybe they could include a more Switch handheld specific sanity effect that
makes it look like your screens cracked, I'm sure HD Rumble could be used in interesting
ways to mess with us too.
Point is, I wanna see what Sanity effects could happen in a remaster of Eternal Darkness.
& I'm sure I'm not alone in that.
Nintendo has been renewing the trademark on that I.P for forever, there was the crowdfunding
attempts for a spiritual successor.
Why not gauge interest with a remaster?
Because I'm sure NO ONE wants to see a colorful, feel good, fun game like Super Mario Sunshine….
Because literally everyone has been leaving that comment on our channel and many other
Nintendo focused channels I'm sure since the dawn of time.
& I can't blame them!
Nintendo had the AUDACITY to NOT put a Mario Sunshine Kingdom in Super Mario Odyssey EVEN
THOUGH Isle Delfino is CLEARLY on the map.
I for one vote we all demand Nintendo to green light a remaster of the original game for
Nintendo Switch.
THEN I vote we all boycott it to show Nintendo we ain't *censored* around.
All jokes aside, Super Mario Sunshine was one step closer to the perfected 3D Mario
formula.
The camera could use some more work and we can go without the pachinko nonsense, but,
other than that: just give me some sweet sweet HD water goodness, remove Bowser's voice
acting and we're golden.
The Dolphin emulator version of this game is a good indicator that Mario Sunshine could
be GORGEOUS on Switch.
Also, I just want to be able to play literally every 3D Mario game on Switch.
Give me very stupid business move on Nintendo's end that is The HD Super Mario 3D All Stars
pack.
Nobody would spend upwards of $40 per game or anything like that.
They'd TOTALLY put all 5 or so 3D Mario game on one $60 cart.
Wishful thinking aside, I'm all for polishing up GameCube gems in the way they polished
Wind Waker and to a lesser degree, Twilight Princess.
Mario Kart Double Dash is a lot of people's favorite Mario Kart.
I'm not one of those people.
It's way too loose.
If I'm being honest, I'd even put Mario Kart Wii & 7 over it.
What I DO like about double Dash is the double driver mechanic.
Mostly for the novelty of it all.
Also, this was back in the days that Nintendo didn't absolutely DESPISE Diddy Kong.
I'd like to see that make its way to Switch.
It's a great candidate for best game to play with a friend with split Joy-Con.
Maybe Switch Online can facilitate 24 player online races considering the fact that half
of the players have half of the functionality half of the time, maybe they could add some
more courses from newer games?
Give me Mii's.
Maybe add the option for 200 Cc.
Subtracting the loose physic (that I don't think they should change to keep it distinct
from the superior Mario Kart 8 Deluxe) & we have a perfect game.
SPEAKING OF PERFECT GAMES,
Remember when Paper Mario wasn't soulless?
Yeah…
Me too…..
Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door is the best Paper Mario game.
If you don't agree, you better think the original Paper Mario is the best Paper Mario
game because any other opinion is stupid and anyone that has that opinion has failed their
parents.
After this game the Paper Mario series began the gradual erosion of everything that made
it a great game that's distinct and separate from other Mario games.
This is the peak of the series that inspired the gameplay of South Park Stick of Truth.
This was one of the games that further explored a Mario world with characters that have endearing
qualities.
Now Paper Mario games are more platformers with a vastly inferior battling system.
Maybe this game being remastered on Switch can remind Nintendo of why we love Paper Mario
in the 1st place?
F-Zero is another series that Nintendo has very clearly ignored a fanbase that loves
one of their classic I.P.
GX, in my opinion is the best of this series.
Which is interesting because it's one of those notable games that I alluded to when
I mentioned GameCube being the place where Nintendo allowed more developers outside of
Nintendo & to make things EVEN CRAZIER in the time this game came, it wasn't just
ANY outside developer.
It was SEGA!
That was wild to think about back then.
But I digress.
I talked a lot about this series and game in a video a while ago.
Check that out by clicking the card in the top right corner.
After this of course.
This game, like many others in this video, can serve as a trojan horse of sorts to justify
a new game being considered for Nintendo Switch, even if that means tapping a third party to
make it happen.
F-Zero deserves a seat at the table.
Nintendo needs to realize it's a different experience than Mario Kart and they both can
co exist.
Kirby Air Ride is BAR NONE my favorite Kirby Game since SuperStar.
& that is 1000% because I'm sick of playing iterations of SuperStar.
Kirby Air Ride was an awesome change of pace with the best Kirby multiplayer mode to date
in City Trials.
There's a lot of building blocks in this game that could amount to something much bigger
in a future game, but, in the meantime I'd love to experience the original game with
new visual flourishes, online play, & of course the ability to play it on the go.
Animal Crossing is a game I and many others want to see come to Nintendo Switch, but,
I gotta be honest on this one.
I literally ONLY want this game to be brought to Switch for the classic Nintendo games.
EVEN IF it was just through a low effort up rezzed port.
IT WON'T happen.
Nintendo discovered they can make us pay for these games again on the go, but, that won't
stop me from dreaming.
I can dream.
Super Smash Bros Melee isn't my favorite Smash Bros game.
I'm definitely not in that camp, but, with that being said, I'm all for giving the
people that love that game the opportunity to play it on current hardware.
A lot of them strike me as the type to avoid even that and stick to playing the original
version on GameCube because of some small discrepancy that only they can see!
I'm joking.
Mostly.
I understand and respect the fact that a lot of people love this game and we got a Smash
Bros 64 release on Wii and by extension Wii U.
Why not do THAT again and have the ability to play every Smash Bros game on Switch?
I'd be down for that.
& while they're at it, give me some Joy-Con with analog triggers…
Probably should've mentioned that for Mario Sunshine.
Metroid Prime Trilogy is a NO BRAINER and also kind of a cheat code considering the
fact that Prime 3 is a Wii game.
But, we're gonna let that slide today.
With Metroid Prime 4 coming at some time in the future, Nintendo would be smart to allow
the opportunity to play through these games again on a platform that core gamers own and
play.
Sure, a lot off people had Wii and could've picked these games up, but, let's be real
people that are interested in play Prime 4 now almost certainly didn't play Wii outside
of socializing with family and friends that did.
SO, putting the games on a platform they're excited for I think makes a lot of sense.
I played all of these games at one point or another and even I could use a refresher before
Prime 4 comes out.
Also, maybe that could be legwork that's useful for Prime's development in the same
way the Zelda remasters on Wii U were the foundation for Breath of the Wild, the Prime
remaster could serve a similar purpose… unless of course a lot more work is done on
Metroid Prime 4 than we're lead to believe.
But, that's another video for another day.
My biggest reason for wanting the Prime Trilogy on Switch though is playing through games
with the atmosphere of the Prime series on a handheld I think would be incredible.
Also, we're lacking shooters on Switch.
So far we just have Doom, Splatoon, and soon to be released Wolfenstien II.
The Metroid series is a welcome addition if you ask me.
BUT, those are MY thoughts what do YOU think?
What GameCube games do you want to see get remastered on Switch?
What changes if any would you wanna see?
