Jeff Grubb: I've heard that a Nintendo Direct is happening the week of the 12th (his guess is the 13th/14th)

I hope GC is never added to NSO, that would mean 4:3, no button mapping and basically playing the same games without any qol.
I'd much rather pay to have decent remasters/remakes to the games that matter.
I saw Nate confirming the rumored EPD Donkey Kong on Famiboards. It certainly would be nice to see something.
i thought the switch is not strong enough to emulate gamecube? you can run gamecube games on hacked switches and they run....not well.
Whilst releasing them individually is a very Nintendo thing to do, I certainly agree that releasing them in such a manner with BOTW2 on the horizon would be messy.
I'd love a remake but I just do not trust them to do it right. You just know they'd get rid of the single walljumping.
Likewise.
I'm not expecting such a thing, but I'd absolutely love to see the Zelda or Mario teams tackle a new IP sometime.

It's not like you're going to get Button mapping beyond the system level option even if they do the whole remaster route.
What third party hackers can do and what Nintendo can do are completely different ballgames. Mario sunshine, while only one example obviously, is emulated on the switch.
A bunch of Gamecube games support 16:9.

No, I really don't think so honestly, and I really think it's better to have the expectation of them not being there. These games have rumored for years at this point, and have never shown up. Beyond that, why would Nintendo have waited so long to release these? Surely they could've done so before now? And why release them only a few months before BOTW 2? It doesn't really add up to me. As much as I'd love to believe otherwise, I don't think they're ever coming, honestly, and I think it's best to have that expectation going in.
Lost Kingdoms 1+2 and Baten Kaitos 1+O need to come back and I'm willing to pay anything for it.
I need my card-based JRPGs back!
I still own both games but I don't have a Wii U anymore and now they're expensive so a Switch version would be welcomed to me.
But with remasters you get button layouts that are fine tuned for that specific game, instead of a preset for all games that doesn't really work that great for any, like N64 NSO.
It won't be but mainly because storage is an issue. I think the only disc based platforms we might see on NSO are Mega CD and Turbo CD and then it's because audio can be compressed pretty easily to bring down file sizes.
Exactly. And the child has been treated well, with love and respect, in the best-possible scenario.
I'm most intrigued by the hints at an F-Zero GX remaster. That game has looked next-gen for like four generations now, lol. They can up-rez it, upscale its FMV cutscenes, maybe add a new (lower) difficulty level that can be beaten by humans, some HD Rumble, and call it a day.
Are we thinking its GX because of lowered expectations mentioned in the first rumor or is there anything else?
As I understand it, NateDrake tweeted "From Zero to hero," and then some other insider tweeted something like "I know what you're thinking of," and it was in the context of a purported wave of GCN remasters and remakes.
Got it. GX was the first thing on everybody's mind for a "new" f-zero game to not get too excited about.
Mario Sunshine is one of the harder games to emulate and runs fine emulated in 3D All Stars.
Not until the current ongoing war ends, don't expect even a mention of the game in a Direct.
I think Nate mentioned this is also what waylaid Goldeneye behind the scenes. Don't expect either until the invasion is ended (or at least resolved enough to stay out of the newscycle).
Unfortunately, it's not going to anytime soon. And I can't see Nintendo sitting on the game forever.
Doubt they'll sit on it until the end of a conflict that has, unfortunately, no end in sight. There was a store listing leaked with a possible Sep 30th date.
Come on, Nintendo, 2023 has to be the year of DK. 2 New Games, the GBA DKC games for the NSO, and a DKC Returns 3D remaster for switch.
Didn't stop them from selling them on virtual console and from people buying them lol
It was fine at the time but it's library aged the most out of any Nintendo system.
The GameCube library is hardly something to write home about.
Frankly, I'd say there are more notable titles on GB/GBC by far than GameCube.
Nah, that's definitely the NES..Compare the Zelda games (links awakening), Pokémon to whatever jrpgs the NES had like the early final fantasys, or mario land 2 to the NES mario games.
GB library is terrible, but so are lots of the games on the online library anyways.
They'll do GCN NSO on the next switch in a few years when they launch a third even more expensive tier. They'll sell remasters in the meantime for the handful of games that will sell well enough to warrant individual releases and then put the originals and everything else on NSO eventually.
You'd be wrong, and also many of the best GCN games have never been re-released.
Now that's a library I'd be excited about. Fantastic stuff.
