Rumour: Nintendo working on a Remaster for 2015

Xenoblade is the most logical choice for a remaster IMO. The sequel is coming in 2015 and the Wii version looks stunning still, but would look even better in HD. That and to push the series into a more main stream audience before the sequel release makes me think it is Xenoblade.

If you say SMS is the best 3d mario game, why the hell needs to be beefed up?
It needs to be beefed up (something that would take too much reworking of the game) becuase its a big pile of unfinished shit.
And the least of the worries SMS has are the graphics, that was actually not the problem with the game.
Wind Waker had to be easily to fix in comparison to all what they need to do to SMS to fix it so it can be played in a presentable state.
And now Im going out of here before the SMS defense force comes to shout me. I already explained them a hundred times why the game is so bad and the only thing they can say is that they had fun when they played it when they were smaller. I know they are kids that still love sonic06. Nostaglia googles at its finest.

Oh boy Yoshi's Story 3D...Dohsin the Giant HD
Plus have NOE have little game called Inazuma Eleven that they publish which helps make one on the 3DS side.
Edit: Wait they person said Wii U as in Wii U will be getting this remaster and one game per months in 2015.
Wonder if Captain Toad being in 2015 has helped here...
Edit:
As things will fall over NOE still have desperation tactics of NES Remix 1+2 to put down (it is only €20 on the eShop...).
Hang on. Don't NOE normally achieve if we count all systems as one. Basically sky is blue since the person didn't state which systems these one game per month would be on.

Edit:
Just what I was looking for. Add in Project Zero 5 (aka Fatal Frame) and SMTxFE and we're done.

Why do people keep saying that? Could the game slip to 2016? Sure, but I don't think it's definitely going to happen. Skyward Sword released in 2011 which, assuming a Christmas release next year, would give the game a four year development period, which is plenty of time. Hell, they took three years to develop Ocarina of Time and that was with their then-biggest team yet assembled for a game and utilising 3D for the first time (Mario 64 started first but they shared development time) in one of the most revolutionary games of our time.
They don't have to invent the wheel with this one, although it is true that this is the most ambitious title in the series in years. They say 2015 and until they say otherwise, I have no issue believing them.

Wasn't Windwaker's conversion done in ~6 months? I'm surprised there aren't more of these to help pad the lineup out.
Baten Kaitos, Viewtiful Joe, Mario Subshine, Killer 7, Billy Hatcher, Rouge Leader...I'll take all of these.

Metroid prime trilogy hd please!

Sunshine would be a perfect fit for fixing up the issues it had although I'd love to see a 64 with 3D world visuals
I hope it's not Metroid Prime Trilogy, I just dropped 55 pounds on ebay for it and am immensely looking forward to playing all three (only ever played 1).
Though a hd trilogy would probably rock, I guess I could trade in the wii version before the word gets out and I can still get a decent value for it. But I wanna play it soon, I hope they announce this soon so I know if I can go ahead and play the wii version or wait for HD.
Thinking about though, of all the games to remaster in HD, Metroid is certainly a 'prime' candidate. Doubt they'd do another Zelda so soon after WWHD. Pilotwings 64/Resort however, with gamepad support? That'd be something.

The Wii U is more mainstream than the Wii?
I don't think they're going to remaster a niche title like Xenoblade and expect people to buy the sequel soon after. It will probably be something they hope is capable of garnering the public's attention.

I would kill for a Xenoblade remaster on the Wii U. If Nintendo releases a US$ 500 collector's edition of it, I'll buy it (and tell my wife it actually cost US$ 60, as I usually do).

I don't feel like anything other than Galaxy would benefit much from this.
Mario Sunshine / 64 HD could be doable. They are already releasing Captain Toad, which is clearly implying that they want to continuously use SM3DW's engine, and these games could be done really fast (I assume).
F-Zero GX looks better in my mind. The GCN original already looked beast so there's hardly anything else they could add to it, aside from the IMPERATIVE online multiplayer and maybe some improvements á la Wind Waker HD.
Metroid Prime Trilogy / Xenoblade HD could be kind of good, since the originals are so fucking expensive anywhere you look, and both titles could top-tier additions to the on-going WiiU catalog (specially if they get released between big releases).
NOW, out of all the possibilities, Eternal Darkness looks like a no-brainer, because of 2 points:
A) Wii U is definitely lacking in horror games (Only ZombiU RE Revelations HD...), aside from the few upcoming ones like Fatal Frame.
B) Nintendo's hold of the patent is slipping by, according to this article from January:
So you better start filling up your sanity meters! xD

Any other modern consoles? Or older consoles with established libraries?
The Wii U has been enough for me with my backlog. The other two would end up being paperweights so far. :/

Metroid Prime trilogy, please. Or Xenoblade, but that I doubt because it is too recent. Just don't let it be Sunshine, pls.
If you count negative numbers.
Sunshine deserves a sequel. Or they give Splatoon a single player mode, we already know what it's like to clean an island, let's mess it up with ink this time.

These are some of the best logical guesses in the thread. I didnt know about the ED patent issue, interesting. I would also consider Shenmue HD a likely possibility considering its been reported to have been completed a couple of years ago. In fact, its quite possible Nintendo picked up a couple of canceled games from Sega.

Metroid Prime HD collection would be very nice, though I'm not sure they'd do that since it's already available on Wii U (non-HD, via Wii mode...).
If we limit it to gamecube stuff, perhaps sunshine for late 2015 to drop a couple months before Zelda?
In the "I want it but it won't happen" column I have Eternal Darkess and F-Zero GX.

Super Mario 64!!
Pretty pleeeeeeeease!!!!!

Here's a thought: If they are doing F-Zero GX, then they're going to need Amusment Vision's/Sega's help with porting over the code, if not help upgrading the visuals. While the game was said to not use bumpmapping, those textures are definitely something to behold even today.
I'm pretty sure with cleaver programing they can achieve 1080p 60fps even.

that is a distinct possibility. I too am doubtfull that we will really get Zelda next year, so a twilight princess remaster could be a nice olive branch.

It's gotta be Galaxy... I really hope it is anyway.

inb4 it's REmake announcement for Wii U P:
I would love to see Twilight Princess HD, with Hero Mode and bosses not dying after three hits, Xenoblade sounds great, my only complain was that the character models looked like shit, damn cube fingers lol, an improved version with better models, even more awesome looking maps and such would be bloody awesome, plus Xenoblade it's so hard to find nowdays at a fair price that you'd rather skip it

You can play Xenoblade, Mario Galaxy and all the Wii games on the Wii U. It would be a waste of time and effort to make a "Remaster" of these games.
Hopefully they remaster some older GC games or Wii games that never released in the West, like Fatal Frame 4.

Eternal Darkness. They have to do something with it soon to maintain ownership.

I can't even stand to turn this over in my mind. It would be ~GLORIOUS~
The letdown when it's revealed to be some more Zelda junk will be soul crushing.
