@@zachariah74 Going by world history standards almost the entirety of the the (video)game industry is post-post-modern. Yes, that's an actual term and is absurd.
genuinely think they know wind waker worked a lot better with the dual screen set up on the wii u. if nintendo have a clever way of making the switch 2 work as dual screens with the tv then they'll 100% be holding off on a wind waker re-release until the switch 2
@@dn83I doubt it. The functionality the gamepad provides is very limited, and although it's nice to have, the game isn't even designed for dual screen use. By your logic they would've held back from releasing xenoblade x as well for the same reason, as it used the gamepad more and is a game designed around it. I think the more likely reason to port it to switch 2 is so that they can replace HD with 4K 😂
As for Splatoon, I think the way to go about it is to release a Splatoon story mode bundle that groups the campaigns of Splatoon 1, Splatoon 2, Splatoon 3 and all of the DLC. Maybe they could call it "Splatoon Saga" as Splatoon 3 was heralded as the end of the saga. I could see them doing this between Splatoon 3 and Splatoon 4.
Would be nice as I loved Octo Espansion and was interested in the campaign of Splatoon 3 and Side Order, but I just don't care for the main online mode, so I didn't get it. But Nintendo isn't one to make bundles often, so I doubt they'd do this. I expected them to port DKC Returns alongside Tropical Freeze for a bundle and here we are years later, finally getting it but standalone. I expected them to do a NSMB collection, but they only ported the Wii U game. I expected them to bundle 3D Land and World, they only did 3D World (at least we got Bowser's Fury alongside it which may be better).
It's never ever coming but the unique stage building mechanics, options and custom made levels of Mario Maker 1 really do deserve to see the light of day again
Personally, I just wanta bunch of 3DS games to get the ‘Luigi’s Mansion2 HD’ treatment; Metroid Samus returns, Kid Icarus, TLOZ A link to the past/ Ocarina of Time, pokemon X&Y/Sun & Moon, Mario 3D land, Kirby triple delux/planet robobot, epic yarn.
the optimist: "TP/WW HD may still come out since they're still shadow dropping highly demanded stuff like the music app" the pessimist: "no, they're gonna save them for the same year the zelda movie comes out" the smart nintendo fan: "both scenarios are equally likely so why bother trying to predict them?"
There’s no reason they can’t keep making Switch 1 releases, especially for stuff like this. Like how recent Capcom collections have released as PS4 games instead of PS5, if the switch 2 is backwards compatible and doesn’t offer a port any real extra benefit, it makes WAY more sense to just make it a Switch 1 release. Maximize the potential audience.
"Star Fox Zero" can be played without a second screen. The Wii U version allowed you to switch from third to first-person on the TV with the - minus button. And at the very least it can be played with motion controls so I think it's portable to Switch.
That’s not entirely correct, both screens are needed. It’s not really a 1st to 3rd person change. You can only accurately aim with the 1st person game pad view. It could be altered to work sure but the WiiU game as is has limitations.
It's literally just the Zelda HD remasters for me. Those and Bayonetta 2 were the games I missed the most as a result of not getting a Wii U during that era, specifically because I heard of Wind Waker fixing the Triforce Hunt and not forcing you to pay up to Tingle for each piece of the map like the original
It was those three games and Xenoblade X that I treasured most on my Wii U. Other than Smash 4 and Mario Kart 8 which I had alot of fun with back then.
in terms of Wii U exclusives, the Switch is missing: ESPN Sports Connection Family Party: 30 Great Games Obstacle Arcade Game Party Champions Lost Reavers Meme Run Pokemon Rumble U Rabbids Land Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric
I'm shocked Wolly World hasn't been ported to the Switch yet. That game is so good. The best Yoshi game in the series IMO and so much better than Crafted World.
The Nintendo Land games, a lot of them could work with online since the "Gamepad" player will have their own Switch. Maybe just releasing the individual games as a NSO thing could work. Outside of that, it couldn't really work due to the asymmetrical gameplay
I think they should make a sequel with games that are playable on one screen and have the old games be playable if you have more than one switch. Similar to how Clubhouse games locks certain games in multiplayer if you are playing on the same console (for EX: can't play cards if you both share the same screen, so you need two switches).
Not gonna happen Harada and namco not re-releasing old tekken games, especially tag 2 that was a flop. But we need a tekken game on the next Nintendo system.
@ the PSN releases those ain’t ports! Those are old ps1/psp isos on a emulator just like what Nintendo did with the virtual console or the online service on the switch. Tekken Tag 2 neger gonna get a port and Tag 2 will be stuck on the wii u because Nintendo not gonna make a wii u emulator on the next console and namco not gonna port this game because they not interested especially because Tag 2 Flop in sales. You want to play Tag 2? The 360 version working on series x. Also Tekken 1 is not available on PSN currently (if you talking about the PS3/Vita PSN it’s maybe available in some regions, in my country it’s delisted). Tekken 2 is the PS1 version on emulator and run bad and Tekken 6 is the PSP version not the PS3 version.
That would be awesome! The Wii U version of that game has some issues that could be ironed out. Bandai Namco has worked very closely with Nintendo over like the past decade, so I guess it's not exactly an impossible port.
I'm immensely surprised that you guys agree with me on a Kirby and the Rainbow Curse Switch port. I've heard so many people argue it can't be done. Gotta disagree with you on Paper Mario: Color Splash though if only because I want all Paper Mario games to be playable on Switch. 😂
Yeah, but I'd bet they wait until Switch 2 for that. Wind Waker HD had some drops on the Wii U at 30FPS, so in its current state, the WWHD port could not run at 60FPS on the Switch. I'd much rather have it on the successor with even better performance!
I've said this a million times, but I'll say it again in hopes of the wheels of fate being pushed in my favor. I NEED them to re-release Yoshi's Woolly World. Not just because it's a fantastic game, but because I need them to re-release the Poochy and Mega Yarn Yoshi amiibo. I'm 9 amiibo away from completing my collection and I WILL NOT REST until those in my possession! As much as I'd love to see Nintendo Land again, I 100% doubt it'll ever happen due to the gamepad being baked into every inch and aspect of that game. So besides Woolly World, the only other Wii U games I really want them to remake/re-release are Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD. Everything else I can happily leave behind on Wii U.
I highly recommend playing StarFox Zero without using the motion controls. Use the "off" option and if you have a wii u stand and a coffee table then leave the gameplay on it and play it like that. This is to help keep you as still as possible. One you do you'll quickly notice that a lot of things are very doable without the motion controls. Those spider enemies you talked about don't even need to be changed because when they are there and you have the arwing, the the weak point is on top. If you expirament with the charge shot then you would realize the charge shot can move kind of like a blue shell. Lock on, shift a little over it and release. The part about hitting them from below is only the levels that have the landmaster and even then the missiles work the same. Also dogfighting is not that difficult without them. I can still take down Leon before he even finishes his intro dialog. Star Fox Zero in terms of AI is just a smarter version of 64s AI. So it's 64 with motion controls.
The things that I would do to get Yoshi’s Woolly World on the Switch… It’s easily one of my all-time favorite games, and brings me so much joy every time I play it
31:57 The Wooly World stage would use real-time rendering techniques while fighters were playing. The floor would "sink in" as you stepped across it. This was too difficult to make work for 8 player smash and stage morph. Imo, they should've kept it as a stage and just get rid of the rendering thing. Kept it as static textures.
Nintendo theme parks give you an amiibo band for going and interacting. Amiibo isn’t dead or lessened by any means. Games include them, they keep reprinting them too
While I also don't expect Nintendo Land to be ported, I do think that if Nintendo really wanted to, they could do it; the game would just require two Switches (one connected to a TV and one in handheld mode, serving as the gamepad). Considering just how many Switches have sold and how many households have more than one, I don't think that's an unreasonable requirement at this point in the system's lifecycle. That being said, I think if we see Nintendo Land again, it will probably be in the form of a brand new title.
Get what you're saying but at the same time, if a game came out and it required two separate consoles to play... I think it would probs lead to backlash
I was just about to comment this! One additional thing that could make it work even better is if they only made it available for Switch Online (Expansion Pass?) members as a free download. That way theres no chance of people accidentally buying it without having 2 systems for it. And since Nintendo Land is kind of made for Nintendo fans it would make some sense to do it like that.
Imo, the games worth porting are Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, Wooly World, Raindbow Curse and Color Splash. Devil's Third is a game I hope gets a port, but I doubt it would come from Nintendo themselves.
Some of these games could still be ported even after the Switch successor is release. Just like how Nintendo supported the 3DS for a couple years before the Switch Lite was announced.
Star Fox Zero already has a built in display swap button so it could technically already work on Switch out of the box, plus I think the dependency on the gamepad view (and especially the 'need' to constantly crane your neck between both displays) is way overblown in the majority of use cases. In the few situations where having both is more important, the option for a Wonderful 101 style picture-in-picture display would be a simple enough solution, even if a little awkward. While I would prefer something fresh and new for the series in the immediate future, no reason Zero couldn't get ported at some point in time imo
That and adding an alternative control option (an off option) would really help too. It is actually do able without motion controls but some vehicles may need tweaking to account for lack of motion controls
8:30 I've been playing SFZ on CEMU for years and have done so exclusively by switching screens with the minus button. No,. that never feels awkward and to tilt the controller until I shoot straight up makes complete sense to me. This would be an argument if you couldn't literally see the physical lasers move as you're aiming and shooting. Also the spiders with targets on the top are best taken out with homing lob shots, which is a quick flick before you shoot your charged shots. It's perfectly recreatable and imo very intuitive as both of these actions just require a flick of the controller. Star Fox Zero never needed a second screen. It's just a more realized cockpit view from 64.
I hope one day influencers, who don't actually "play" games they talk about, just stop talking about them. If you played Ikaruga, abusing continues, beating the game a few times in an hour and moving on, nobody should listen to you about your shmup opinions. If you didn't unlock all the medals in SF64, nobody should listen to you what a Star Fox game should be. Star Fox was never hugely about story or world building. If you think it was, it would be just as much as any shmup released in the past 30 years. shmup players usually acknowledge these elements but they're completely tertiary to the experience in almost every way. Those are the people that carry the genre and help it thrive within a community. They have kept it afloat as much as the devs of these games do. I seriously think Star Fox fans who criticize Zero for any reasons such as reused story, structure or world building use it as a scapegoat to avoid having to acknowledge that they're playing a game in a genre they fundamentally have no interest in. This is something I can't stop anyone from and I never would. That's not how I love at influencers. People, who mastered Star Fox Zero and defend it through constant replays and appreciation for its mechanics, also went on to master it and unlock the black arwing. If that's a foreign concept to you, you should not have an influence on its reputation, because you literally refuse to learn the developers intend. Games like this have problems that can be solved through innovative play just like an old school beat em up would. That's where arcade games thrive. That is not an attack on anyone at GVG in particular. You're influencers. There's a reason you wear that job title on this platform and while I think you guys have done some seriously great work in the past and I have serious respect for it, no influencer escapes the same criticism that you'd otherwise give IGN. To hand the wrong game to the wrong person and then engraving its reputation through poor foresight. Zero has a lot of problems outside of its controls. The latter being a point of contention in any outlet, is at this point a litmus test for integrity, because it almost always mismatches with the views of people who actually play SFZ as an arcade experience, not a weird Wii U title that collects dust on their shelves. Arcade games require patience and a level of creative experimentation over time and I don't remember ever seeing any Nintendo influencer individual or group handling it well.
THIS. Seriously, I always see people claim SFZ *needs* the second screen when it really doesn't. If the on-screen reticle was made as accurate as the gamepad version you could play 90% of the game in third-person view. And for that last 10% you could just switch to cockpit view. A port of SFZ would be doable with minimal changes to the core design.
@@AppleGreenmusicstory is a very valid criticism though. It wasn't that long ago when we got Star Fox 64 3D so getting a reimagining of that same game is redundant. It's not like it's Mario where it can easily get away with it because Mario really is gameplay focused while starfox actually had a narrative spanning multiple entries. Thats ignoring the fact that the Mario games still managed to feel completely different from one another from the story alone. Imamura loved these characters and wanted these characters to grow, to age, to change over time and you see that from 64 to command.
On the subject of Mario and Sonic at the Olympics, the company that gave SEGA the license for the series decided not to renew it in favor of chasing the NFT trend. This happened this year in 2024. Years after the NFT bubble burst.
For me the main ones I now want on Switch are the Zelda remasters, Sonic Lost World (I know it's on PC but I think the Switch would be great for it) and Paper Mario Color Splash. Forgot to add Yoshi's Wooly World. It definitely should be ported.
I would make an argument for Splatoon 1 only because of the grand festival result, which Past won and knowning how devs usually implement splatfest results to the lore of the game so it still has a shot of getting ported
12:00 I think with Color Splash they could change/modify the battle system to be something closer to the first 2 games, the biggest problem with it is there would still be no partners. God I can just imagine people's ire towards CS being ported after a year of thinking everything was fine now thanks to the TTYD remake.
Color Splash is my favorite Paper Mario game, and is one of my favorite games on the Wii U. It’s mainly the reason I kept my Wii U plugged in. I still hope for a port.
@@michaelmacorso4479 they did with Wii U late in its life. Many Wii U games used to cost $60 until near the end of its life when their prices were cut to $20.
@lol-ih1tl as new games they not going release anything less than 40 dollar. Maybe if they do a bundle of their small wii u games they could justify the ful price.
I think the reason why we haven’t gotten the zelda remakes so far is that Nintendo has been sticking pretty close to their 1 zelda release a year strategy and they seem to have bigger ambitions than using that yearly slot for rereleasing games that have rereleased already. I’m sure we’ll get them eventually. Not sure if it’s any time soon though.
Wind Waker HD in 2025 and Twilight Princess HD in 2026 as part of Switch 1's post-Switch 2 lineup. Then in 2027 we'll get the inevitable BotW 2027 remaster.
I’d hope they can port Color Splash At the very least for its music and the “my wife left me” joke The music for Mario and Sonic at Rio would be missed too unless they just put the soundtracks in the music app at some point
I feel like if we're including Splatoon 1 and Mario Tennis Ultra Smash (games that have been pretty much completely replaced by sequels), then Smash 4 should have been in this discussion too. Between custom moves, different game physics, smash tour, etc. smash 4 has some unique gameplay experiences to offer. Obviously still a zero percent chance of making its way to Switch though lol.
If Mario & Sonic gets ported, ever, I hope it's a cross of the handheld and console versions with HD assets. Specifically the story modes from Winter Olympics, London, and Rio
19 Wii U ports by Nintendo so far? pretty sure it's just 11 Wii U ports counting the new Xenoblade one, + BOTW which was a cross platform release the same day, + Fatal Frame and W101 which were ported to other consoles alongside the Switch, making them third party games now, and I guess you can count Bayonetta 1, although I don't since it's a Sega game that originated on PS3 and 360. That makes 14 if you don't count Bayonetta.
Yeah. I was gonna say something about Mario and Sonic. But chat beat me to it. I could have sworn it wasn't directly said by the committe but a dev saying that the committe told them that. But its been awhile since that news was fresh. I suppose there was enough time for the details to get muddy.
Maybe for the 10th anniversary of Splatoon 1, they would go the route of making the first game remade and making that the main competitive game for a couple of years. Effectively the Modern Warfare remake if splatoon
That Tokyo 2020 Olympics game is something that my one son (9) goes back to AT LEAST twice a year. It was definitely a good iteration compared to what I would watch my brother play on Wii
The only games that would be worth getting ported to Switch or its successor are the Zelda HD Remasters, Yoshi’s Woolly World with the content from the 3DS version, NES Remix 1, 2 & Ultimate in a budget title (and MAYBE merge with Nintendo World Championships NES Edition) and MAYBE Sonic Lost World, Devil’s Third and Art Academy The only way I’d see Splatoon 1 escape its Wii U shackles would be a “Splatoon Ultimate” where it brings everything from the trilogy into one big experience, including the Single Player Campaigns, same with the Pushmo and BoxBoy series As for everything else, they’re better off left behind bc they were designed with the Wii U’s features in mind or they weren’t very good
Twilight Princess HD made some bad changes. Worse camera, music transitions on loading screens aren't the same, the Twilight Realm had disgusting bloom added to it, and Illia's new eyes made her look like an alien
I don't think that a Splatoon Ultimate would ever happen, because Splatoon games have timeskips and an evolving lore. With each new game, characters from the previous games become older and locations in the Splatoon universe evolve and change.
I'm disappointed you neglected to mention that games like Pac-Man Vs. already use two Switch systems connected via local wireless to recreate the asymmetrical multiplayer like what is found in Nintendo Land. Nintendo could definitely do it if they wanted to, but they might think the average consumer would find it too cumbersome to require two Switch systems.
Easy fix for Nintendoland, Starfox and other games that require the second screen: Let the Switch 2 stream one video feed to the docking station connected to the tv while displaying a second video feed in handheld mode. They could use WiFi for that.
Yoshi's Woolly World; 2025 90%. Kirby and the Rainbow Curse; maybe 2025 but depends on if Kirby's Epic Yarn is happening. Twilight Princess HD; 2026 50%. The Wind Waker HD; depends on if we get GameCube Online. Pushmo; trademark renewed, could mean port or new entry. Otherwise: Devil's Third developer recently changed its name and is likely cooking up something, and Sonic The Lost World could be in the cue, so it depends on how long SEGA supports the Switch.
I imagine Switch will continue as a live console for a few years after Switch 2 comes out. Some of the Switch launch titles will be on both consoles but enhanced on Switch 2, such as Metroid Prime 4, and then Switch 2 will beging to get the new games as exclusives while Switch will continue to get ports and remasters from GameCube, WiiU, and 3DS, etc. Such games will obviously be playable on both Switch and Switch 2 but will not likely be enhanced on Switch 2.
if they just change the starfox zero aim calibration to be 1-to-1 with whichever camera you choose, it could work. I think the game is better than people say, it can be really fun
@Benjamillion if they adjusted the aim to be 1to1 then they could have both options. Gyro is not the biggest issue with the game and is actually fun the more you play
@@zuffin1864 Maybe it's just me being a mid 30s old fart who's been more comfortable with pressing on buttons rather than moving my arms for more than 20 minutes of playing. If you like it, that's fine. I just think it works better for me when playing in VR because it feels more immersive in that regard.
I still think the main reason crafted world isn’t as good as woolly is almost entirely down to how lame the music is. A good atmosphere can really carry it
I could see them just keeping Wind Waker HD & Twilight Princess HD for Switch in their back pocket until maybe late 2025, or 2026. I imagine we'll still be seeing ports come to the Switch while the next console is out, they wouldn't just abruptly drop support for the console so much as shifting *new* game development to the Switch 2. Like Luigi's Mansion came out on 3DS like 2 years after the Switch launch.
I feel like they should release Nintendoland as free software for all NSO members, and let people connect Switch units via local wireless to play. One friend in handheld mode and another friend in TV mode with multiple controllers. Use it as another incentive for the NSO membership, and ensure that a huge number of people have the software so it’s not dead on arrival. Or if Switch 2 has better social features, it could work as an online game. But man, Mario Chase, Luigi’s Ghost Mansion and Animal Crossing Sweet Day were some of the best multiplayer games I’ve ever played and they need to find a way to make them playable again. ❤
I googled Nintendo Land, and the first result was actually Super Nintendo World. Which makes me wonder if they would ever make a sequel as a tie-in to the theme park. Maybe they would even call it Super Nintendo Land. 🤔
This is not a defense of the Devil's Third game we got. But hardcore Itagaki/Team Ninja fans would know that that project was one of those tumultuous projects that didn't really come out in the way that the developers wanted it to. From my understanding, Nintendo owns Ivan and the characters in the singe player campaign. I would genuinely love it if they did throw caution to the wind and try to make a better realized version of Devil's Third. This isn't so much about the game as it is being worth bringing back, but the notion of a lost game, AKA the Devil's Third we didn't get. The multiplayer section was eerily early to the live service/metaverse game in particular, and Soleil FKA Valhalla had the bad fortune to have their publisher THQ go under on them so they didn't get the chance to really try the first time. Nowadays, the online space might be too competitive to bring the online part back. But if we are willing to give Yooka-Replaylee another chance, who's to say Devil's Third isn't redeemable? Maybe Nintendo would need to hire a decent AA studio like Saber Interactive or Rebellion instead of bringing back Soleil to do it, but I'd be down for that.
- honestly because TTYD got a full remake is that i can see Color Splash having a chance of coming back in between RPG Paper Mario releases - i know is not gonna happen, but i would 100% pay for a Splatoon Single Player campaign compilation - Sonic Generations got the revival for 2 reasons: they needed something to promote the movie & this is Sonic Team trying to see if the Frontiers Formula can be scaled down (and that it wasn't a novelty fluke) - oh yeah Sonic Boom is pretty much gone, still waiting for Dave the Intern & Sticks to return tho. Any minute now Ian! - the olympics are done, but we still want Mario & Sonic to do crossovers, take the Free Money Nintendo!! - i would love if Nintendo World Champion got NES Remix as DLC

You want to play Tag 2? The 360 version working on series x.
Also Tekken 1 is not available on PSN currently (if you talking about the PS3/Vita PSN it’s maybe available in some regions, in my country it’s delisted). Tekken 2 is the PS1 version on emulator and run bad and Tekken 6 is the PSP version not the PS3 version.
That would be awesome! The Wii U version of that game has some issues that could be ironed out. Bandai Namco has worked very closely with Nintendo over like the past decade, so I guess it's not exactly an impossible port.
I'm immensely surprised that you guys agree with me on a Kirby and the Rainbow Curse Switch port. I've heard so many people argue it can't be done.
Gotta disagree with you on Paper Mario: Color Splash though if only because I want all Paper Mario games to be playable on Switch. 😂
For the love of god give me WOOLY WORLD
My favourite Wii U exclusive is Affordable Space Adventures, but I can't see it leaving the platform either
This! Yeah very sad that this has never popped up anywhere else.
10:56 erm actually Fnaf came out in 2014 while guard came out in 2016.
Yeah like the first 4 numbered fnaf games all arrived before 2016. GVG missed here lmao
Why was splatoon 1 included in that list but not mario maker 1
After Skyward Sword HD was released at 60fps, my hope is that Nintendo does the same with the Wind Waker and Twilight Princess re-remasters.
Better yet, just bundle all three HD remasters into one package for a decent, humane price (lmao not likely, but I will continue dreaming lol).
facts I need that Wind HD
Yeah, but I'd bet they wait until Switch 2 for that. Wind Waker HD had some drops on the Wii U at 30FPS, so in its current state, the WWHD port could not run at 60FPS on the Switch. I'd much rather have it on the successor with even better performance!
@@NicolausCamp Yeah, sorry I didn't make that clear in my original post, I'm fully expecting WW and TP to be Switch 2 releases in order to hit 60fps.
Yoshi's Woolly World on Switch would be fantastic. :)
I mostly want Paper Mario Color Splash, Yoshi Wolly World, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, NES Remix, and Sonic Lost World.
Star Fox Guard came out almost two years after the original FNAF actually
I've said this a million times, but I'll say it again in hopes of the wheels of fate being pushed in my favor. I NEED them to re-release Yoshi's Woolly World. Not just because it's a fantastic game, but because I need them to re-release the Poochy and Mega Yarn Yoshi amiibo. I'm 9 amiibo away from completing my collection and I WILL NOT REST until those in my possession!
As much as I'd love to see Nintendo Land again, I 100% doubt it'll ever happen due to the gamepad being baked into every inch and aspect of that game. So besides Woolly World, the only other Wii U games I really want them to remake/re-release are Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD. Everything else I can happily leave behind on Wii U.
Yoshi's Woolly World: Re-knitted
I highly recommend playing StarFox Zero without using the motion controls. Use the "off" option and if you have a wii u stand and a coffee table then leave the gameplay on it and play it like that. This is to help keep you as still as possible. One you do you'll quickly notice that a lot of things are very doable without the motion controls.
Those spider enemies you talked about don't even need to be changed because when they are there and you have the arwing, the the weak point is on top. If you expirament with the charge shot then you would realize the charge shot can move kind of like a blue shell. Lock on, shift a little over it and release. The part about hitting them from below is only the levels that have the landmaster and even then the missiles work the same.
Also dogfighting is not that difficult without them. I can still take down Leon before he even finishes his intro dialog. Star Fox Zero in terms of AI is just a smarter version of 64s AI. So it's 64 with motion controls.
The things that I would do to get Yoshi’s Woolly World on the Switch… It’s easily one of my all-time favorite games, and brings me so much joy every time I play it
I will happily triple dip on Yoshis Woolie World! ❤
Devil’s third is actually a really fun single player experience imo
31:57 The Wooly World stage would use real-time rendering techniques while fighters were playing. The floor would "sink in" as you stepped across it.
This was too difficult to make work for 8 player smash and stage morph.
Imo, they should've kept it as a stage and just get rid of the rendering thing. Kept it as static textures.
8 player Smash was in Smash WiiU. But yeah the stage morph feature probably made it more difficult
Nintendo theme parks give you an amiibo band for going and interacting. Amiibo isn’t dead or lessened by any means. Games include them, they keep reprinting them too
While I also don't expect Nintendo Land to be ported, I do think that if Nintendo really wanted to, they could do it; the game would just require two Switches (one connected to a TV and one in handheld mode, serving as the gamepad). Considering just how many Switches have sold and how many households have more than one, I don't think that's an unreasonable requirement at this point in the system's lifecycle. That being said, I think if we see Nintendo Land again, it will probably be in the form of a brand new title.
A new title would make far more sense
Get what you're saying but at the same time, if a game came out and it required two separate consoles to play... I think it would probs lead to backlash
I was just about to comment this! One additional thing that could make it work even better is if they only made it available for Switch Online (Expansion Pass?) members as a free download. That way theres no chance of people accidentally buying it without having 2 systems for it. And since Nintendo Land is kind of made for Nintendo fans it would make some sense to do it like that.
They could just makes it online only
I hope Nintendo Land will return on Switch 2 with the revelation of undocked second screen gameplay mode.
Woolly World, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess and StarFox Zero. Please
Give me Woolly World
I need Yoshi’s Wooly World 😢that’s my favorite Wii U game.
GVG making themselves enemies of the Devils Third fandom right now. I know a lot of people that love that game.
I mean, I never played it, but still!
Realistic ones would be both Zelda remakes, Star Fox Zero, Sonic Lost World, maybe Color Splash and Wooly World
Wooly World is the big one for me. I've lost hope for the Zelda remasters, so if we get Wooly World I'll be content 😅
I want Wooly World so bad!!!
Wooly World 10000% has to happen
Yes, I freakin' agree!! We need that!! 💯💯
@@ThaTrueEgyptino92 you KNOW that game aint as difficult as yoshi's island ...that game will ALWAYS be goat-d...
@@kcidd12??
@@kcidd12.
@@CrowTRobot The game is too easy ??????
Imo, the games worth porting are Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, Wooly World, Raindbow Curse and Color Splash. Devil's Third is a game I hope gets a port, but I doubt it would come from Nintendo themselves.
I don’t care if it has to be heavily reworked… I need Starfox Zero for my recently explosive Starfox hyperfixation
Talking about Yoshi's Wooly world got my thinking about Kirby's epic yarn. I know Kirby already gets a lot of love, but what's one more?
Wooly World.... PLEASE
affordable space adventures!
Some of these games could still be ported even after the Switch successor is release. Just like how Nintendo supported the 3DS for a couple years before the Switch Lite was announced.
Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric would be a historical port to have! 😂
Star Fox Zero already has a built in display swap button so it could technically already work on Switch out of the box, plus I think the dependency on the gamepad view (and especially the 'need' to constantly crane your neck between both displays) is way overblown in the majority of use cases. In the few situations where having both is more important, the option for a Wonderful 101 style picture-in-picture display would be a simple enough solution, even if a little awkward. While I would prefer something fresh and new for the series in the immediate future, no reason Zero couldn't get ported at some point in time imo
That and adding an alternative control option (an off option) would really help too. It is actually do able without motion controls but some vehicles may need tweaking to account for lack of motion controls
we don't want that shiddy game leave it on the P-U cause it stinks...
Just give me the Zelda HDs, Wooly World, and some kind of Star Fox and the rest can go in the bin.
8:30 I've been playing SFZ on CEMU for years and have done so exclusively by switching screens with the minus button.
No,. that never feels awkward and to tilt the controller until I shoot straight up makes complete sense to me.
This would be an argument if you couldn't literally see the physical lasers move as you're aiming and shooting.
Also the spiders with targets on the top are best taken out with homing lob shots, which is a quick flick before you shoot your charged shots.
It's perfectly recreatable and imo very intuitive as both of these actions just require a flick of the controller.
Star Fox Zero never needed a second screen. It's just a more realized cockpit view from 64.
I hope one day influencers, who don't actually "play" games they talk about, just stop talking about them.
If you played Ikaruga, abusing continues, beating the game a few times in an hour and moving on, nobody should listen to you about your shmup opinions.
If you didn't unlock all the medals in SF64, nobody should listen to you what a Star Fox game should be.
Star Fox was never hugely about story or world building.
If you think it was, it would be just as much as any shmup released in the past 30 years.
shmup players usually acknowledge these elements but they're completely tertiary to the experience in almost every way.
Those are the people that carry the genre and help it thrive within a community. They have kept it afloat as much as the devs of these games do.
I seriously think Star Fox fans who criticize Zero for any reasons such as reused story, structure or world building use it as a scapegoat
to avoid having to acknowledge that they're playing a game in a genre they fundamentally have no interest in.
This is something I can't stop anyone from and I never would. That's not how I love at influencers.
People, who mastered Star Fox Zero and defend it through constant replays and appreciation for its mechanics, also went on to master it and unlock the black arwing.
If that's a foreign concept to you, you should not have an influence on its reputation, because you literally refuse to learn the developers intend.
Games like this have problems that can be solved through innovative play just like an old school beat em up would. That's where arcade games thrive.
That is not an attack on anyone at GVG in particular. You're influencers.
There's a reason you wear that job title on this platform and while I think you guys have done some seriously great work in the past and I have serious respect for it,
no influencer escapes the same criticism that you'd otherwise give IGN. To hand the wrong game to the wrong person and then engraving its reputation through poor foresight.
Zero has a lot of problems outside of its controls. The latter being a point of contention in any outlet, is at this point a litmus test for integrity,
because it almost always mismatches with the views of people who actually play SFZ as an arcade experience, not a weird Wii U title that collects dust on their shelves.
Arcade games require patience and a level of creative experimentation over time and I don't remember ever seeing any Nintendo influencer individual or group handling it well.
THIS. Seriously, I always see people claim SFZ *needs* the second screen when it really doesn't. If the on-screen reticle was made as accurate as the gamepad version you could play 90% of the game in third-person view. And for that last 10% you could just switch to cockpit view. A port of SFZ would be doable with minimal changes to the core design.
@@AppleGreenmusicstory is a very valid criticism though. It wasn't that long ago when we got Star Fox 64 3D so getting a reimagining of that same game is redundant. It's not like it's Mario where it can easily get away with it because Mario really is gameplay focused while starfox actually had a narrative spanning multiple entries. Thats ignoring the fact that the Mario games still managed to feel completely different from one another from the story alone.
Imamura loved these characters and wanted these characters to grow, to age, to change over time and you see that from 64 to command.
On the subject of Mario and Sonic at the Olympics, the company that gave SEGA the license for the series decided not to renew it in favor of chasing the NFT trend.
This happened this year in 2024. Years after the NFT bubble burst.
I've been tempted to get a Wii U second hand just to play Paper Mario colour splash and the Zeldas.
10:54 Star Fox Guard was released in 2016 and Five Nights at Freddy's was released in 2014.
For me the main ones I now want on Switch are the Zelda remasters, Sonic Lost World (I know it's on PC but I think the Switch would be great for it) and Paper Mario Color Splash. Forgot to add Yoshi's Wooly World. It definitely should be ported.
Agreed for lost world, but I do not want a straight port.
Wooly World is on 3DS, it released before the switch came out so it isn’t a Wii U exclusive anymore
Where is the beloved devils third
I would make an argument for Splatoon 1 only because of the grand festival result, which Past won and knowning how devs usually implement splatfest results to the lore of the game so it still has a shot of getting ported
12:00 I think with Color Splash they could change/modify the battle system to be something closer to the first 2 games, the biggest problem with it is there would still be no partners.
God I can just imagine people's ire towards CS being ported after a year of thinking everything was fine now thanks to the TTYD remake.
Just give us Devil's Third you cowards
Same here. Polished up devil third n you have a hidden gem
Color Splash is my favorite Paper Mario game, and is one of my favorite games on the Wii U. It’s mainly the reason I kept my Wii U plugged in. I still hope for a port.
Nintendo I will pay for Wind Waker port, no hesitation
FACTS!
and for that it’ll cost $80
Nintendo's not gonna like our boy Ash undervaluing their titles. "$20 eshop title" ... "$5 eshop" title. 🤣
Lol nintendo would never go low with those prices. 40 dollars be the cheapest if you lucky
@michaelmacorso4479 facts!
@wrldonwill just crack me up they were causally dropping these prices. Come on this is nintendo who charge 60 dollars for luigis mansion 2 hd.
@@michaelmacorso4479 they did with Wii U late in its life. Many Wii U games used to cost $60 until near the end of its life when their prices were cut to $20.
@lol-ih1tl as new games they not going release anything less than 40 dollar. Maybe if they do a bundle of their small wii u games they could justify the ful price.
I think the reason why we haven’t gotten the zelda remakes so far is that Nintendo has been sticking pretty close to their 1 zelda release a year strategy and they seem to have bigger ambitions than using that yearly slot for rereleasing games that have rereleased already. I’m sure we’ll get them eventually. Not sure if it’s any time soon though.
Wind Waker HD in 2025 and Twilight Princess HD in 2026 as part of Switch 1's post-Switch 2 lineup. Then in 2027 we'll get the inevitable BotW 2027 remaster.
I’d hope they can port Color Splash At the very least for its music and the “my wife left me” joke
The music for Mario and Sonic at Rio would be missed too unless they just put the soundtracks in the music app at some point
I would absolutely love Yoshi's Woolly World on the switch, one of my all time favorite games
I feel like if we're including Splatoon 1 and Mario Tennis Ultra Smash (games that have been pretty much completely replaced by sequels), then Smash 4 should have been in this discussion too. Between custom moves, different game physics, smash tour, etc. smash 4 has some unique gameplay experiences to offer. Obviously still a zero percent chance of making its way to Switch though lol.
There are a bunch more! Happy Halloween!
If Mario & Sonic gets ported, ever, I hope it's a cross of the handheld and console versions with HD assets. Specifically the story modes from Winter Olympics, London, and Rio
You know there is at least 1 Nintendo fan ready to spend $1,500 on the remaining ports that they already own and can still play.
19 Wii U ports by Nintendo so far? pretty sure it's just 11 Wii U ports counting the new Xenoblade one, + BOTW which was a cross platform release the same day, + Fatal Frame and W101 which were ported to other consoles alongside the Switch, making them third party games now, and I guess you can count Bayonetta 1, although I don't since it's a Sega game that originated on PS3 and 360.
That makes 14 if you don't count Bayonetta.
you could technically also count Ninja Gaiden 3 and Assassin's Creed 3 and 4 if you count multiplats.
Yeah. I was gonna say something about Mario and Sonic. But chat beat me to it.
I could have sworn it wasn't directly said by the committe but a dev saying that the committe told them that.
But its been awhile since that news was fresh. I suppose there was enough time for the details to get muddy.
I could see Twilight Princess/Wind Waker HD coming even after the switch 2 is out and being available for both
Maybe for the 10th anniversary of Splatoon 1, they would go the route of making the first game remade and making that the main competitive game for a couple of years.
Effectively the Modern Warfare remake if splatoon
Paper Mario Color Splash REALLY surprised me when I first played it. I did not expect to enjoy that game so much!
That's crazy
That Tokyo 2020 Olympics game is something that my one son (9) goes back to AT LEAST twice a year. It was definitely a good iteration compared to what I would watch my brother play on Wii
The only games that would be worth getting ported to Switch or its successor are the Zelda HD Remasters, Yoshi’s Woolly World with the content from the 3DS version, NES Remix 1, 2 & Ultimate in a budget title (and MAYBE merge with Nintendo World Championships NES Edition) and MAYBE Sonic Lost World, Devil’s Third and Art Academy
The only way I’d see Splatoon 1 escape its Wii U shackles would be a “Splatoon Ultimate” where it brings everything from the trilogy into one big experience, including the Single Player Campaigns, same with the Pushmo and BoxBoy series
As for everything else, they’re better off left behind bc they were designed with the Wii U’s features in mind or they weren’t very good
Twilight Princess HD made some bad changes. Worse camera, music transitions on loading screens aren't the same, the Twilight Realm had disgusting bloom added to it, and Illia's new eyes made her look like an alien
I don't think that a Splatoon Ultimate would ever happen, because Splatoon games have timeskips and an evolving lore. With each new game, characters from the previous games become older and locations in the Splatoon universe evolve and change.
Still waiting for the Zelda games and Monster Hunter 3U.
I'm disappointed you neglected to mention that games like Pac-Man Vs. already use two Switch systems connected via local wireless to recreate the asymmetrical multiplayer like what is found in Nintendo Land. Nintendo could definitely do it if they wanted to, but they might think the average consumer would find it too cumbersome to require two Switch systems.
A good amount of the games have a decent Wii Remote mode. And the ones that were Gamepad exclusive could easily just be Handheld Mode exclusive
Easy fix for Nintendoland, Starfox and other games that require the second screen:
Let the Switch 2 stream one video feed to the docking station connected to the tv while displaying a second video feed in handheld mode. They could use WiFi for that.
Yoshi's Woolly World; 2025 90%. Kirby and the Rainbow Curse; maybe 2025 but depends on if Kirby's Epic Yarn is happening. Twilight Princess HD; 2026 50%. The Wind Waker HD; depends on if we get GameCube Online. Pushmo; trademark renewed, could mean port or new entry. Otherwise: Devil's Third developer recently changed its name and is likely cooking up something, and Sonic The Lost World could be in the cue, so it depends on how long SEGA supports the Switch.
Great video! Love more WiiU coverage
I was hoping someone would make this exact video. At this point I want the Wii U to be obsolete. Port it all.
I imagine Switch will continue as a live console for a few years after Switch 2 comes out. Some of the Switch launch titles will be on both consoles but enhanced on Switch 2, such as Metroid Prime 4, and then Switch 2 will beging to get the new games as exclusives while Switch will continue to get ports and remasters from GameCube, WiiU, and 3DS, etc. Such games will obviously be playable on both Switch and Switch 2 but will not likely be enhanced on Switch 2.
Thankfully there are mods on the PC version of Sonic Lost World to give us the Zelda and Yoshi levels

Windwaker HD at 4K 60 fps would be amazing
if they just change the starfox zero aim calibration to be 1-to-1 with whichever camera you choose, it could work. I think the game is better than people say, it can be really fun
I'd rather have full analog control
@Benjamillion if they adjusted the aim to be 1to1 then they could have both options. Gyro is not the biggest issue with the game and is actually fun the more you play
@@zuffin1864 Maybe it's just me being a mid 30s old fart who's been more comfortable with pressing on buttons rather than moving my arms for more than 20 minutes of playing. If you like it, that's fine. I just think it works better for me when playing in VR because it feels more immersive in that regard.
I still think the main reason crafted world isn’t as good as woolly is almost entirely down to how lame the music is. A good atmosphere can really carry it
I could see them just keeping Wind Waker HD & Twilight Princess HD for Switch in their back pocket until maybe late 2025, or 2026. I imagine we'll still be seeing ports come to the Switch while the next console is out, they wouldn't just abruptly drop support for the console so much as shifting *new* game development to the Switch 2. Like Luigi's Mansion came out on 3DS like 2 years after the Switch launch.
I just started playing rainbow curse again yesterday I love the game so much
I feel like they should release Nintendoland as free software for all NSO members, and let people connect Switch units via local wireless to play. One friend in handheld mode and another friend in TV mode with multiple controllers. Use it as another incentive for the NSO membership, and ensure that a huge number of people have the software so it’s not dead on arrival. Or if Switch 2 has better social features, it could work as an online game. But man, Mario Chase, Luigi’s Ghost Mansion and Animal Crossing Sweet Day were some of the best multiplayer games I’ve ever played and they need to find a way to make them playable again. ❤
For rainbow curse - The switch has a touchscreen. You know that, right?
A handheld mode only game.
I googled Nintendo Land, and the first result was actually Super Nintendo World. Which makes me wonder if they would ever make a sequel as a tie-in to the theme park. Maybe they would even call it Super Nintendo Land. 🤔
I do think instead they will make new Starfox game instead of remaking the old one.
Paper Mario games come out every 4 years, so the next one is 2028.
This is not a defense of the Devil's Third game we got. But hardcore Itagaki/Team Ninja fans would know that that project was one of those tumultuous projects that didn't really come out in the way that the developers wanted it to. From my understanding, Nintendo owns Ivan and the characters in the singe player campaign. I would genuinely love it if they did throw caution to the wind and try to make a better realized version of Devil's Third. This isn't so much about the game as it is being worth bringing back, but the notion of a lost game, AKA the Devil's Third we didn't get.
The multiplayer section was eerily early to the live service/metaverse game in particular, and Soleil FKA Valhalla had the bad fortune to have their publisher THQ go under on them so they didn't get the chance to really try the first time. Nowadays, the online space might be too competitive to bring the online part back. But if we are willing to give Yooka-Replaylee another chance, who's to say Devil's Third isn't redeemable? Maybe Nintendo would need to hire a decent AA studio like Saber Interactive or Rebellion instead of bringing back Soleil to do it, but I'd be down for that.
Wind Waker HD is the only game left that is a MUST PORT for Switch.
Twilight Princess, Kirby, and Yoshi are extra credit
- honestly because TTYD got a full remake is that i can see Color Splash having a chance of coming back in between RPG Paper Mario releases
- i know is not gonna happen, but i would 100% pay for a Splatoon Single Player campaign compilation
- Sonic Generations got the revival for 2 reasons: they needed something to promote the movie & this is Sonic Team trying to see if the Frontiers Formula can be scaled down (and that it wasn't a novelty fluke)
- oh yeah Sonic Boom is pretty much gone, still waiting for Dave the Intern & Sticks to return tho. Any minute now Ian!
- the olympics are done, but we still want Mario & Sonic to do crossovers, take the Free Money Nintendo!!
- i would love if Nintendo World Champion got NES Remix as DLC
id watch the same video but with wii or 3ds games :D
