I'd love that. In fact, I think I'd be more excited for it than another Odyssey =P
I feel like part of this might have to do with Nintendo wanting to see what happens with E3. With E3 being cancelled and there being no need to really host a Direct in June this year, maybe Nintendo just decided to spread things out a bit more - wait until the end of March, air a massive Direct showcasing the majority of their 2020 plans, including stuff for this Fall that they'd normally wait until E3 to show and then we may not see another General Direct until sometime in the Summer. We may only get 2-3 of them this year in total, and instead fill out the year with game-specific Direct's and Nindies showcases instead.
So if waiting until the end of March for a Direct that's going to give us many more announcements than one in January would have is the move, then I'm here for it.

I would be amazed. Not because of the game per se, but because there would be more 3D Mario games on the Switch. It's one of Nintendo's best franchises, and I believe it would be great if we got 2-3 3D Mario games per system. I would prefer Sunshine though, the game is very special to me and an overhaul (especially for the controls) would really help.
Why would they use precious ressources for a N64 remake when it's perfectly playable an almost current platform (Wii u) ?
I would be on board 100%. It would also be fun to have that next to the FF7 remake.
As someone who has actually been doing this shit for longer than I can remember now (reading about/following Nintendo stuff on the Internet!) I for one would mark the f**k out at the return of Space World. :D
Even if it was just them naming their replacement event that and it wasn't like, an expo obviously.
This is the thread to dream in right? I dream for the return of Space World!

Oh God... the Galaxy games deserve a touched-up version so much more than 64. Would be cool for like Switch 3 or whatever but I really want Galaxy HD.
I think the Mario 64 skin in Odyssey shows Nintendo sees that Mario design as a specifically iconic version of him, like the SMB sprite. As such, I think they'd rather just keep releasing Mario 64 than to remaster it. As for how I'd feel, it would be cool and all, but I wouldn't go nuts or anything.
I also agree with this.
As long as it's not replacing a new game like Odyssey 2, I'm fine with it.
Original free with NSO, yeah why not.
Remake, no, let's not waste time.
What if it doesn't replace a new game? Link's Awakening didn't replace BOTW2. NSMBUD didn't replace SMM2.
I wonder if that's third party? It has to be. A epic new action game
but it arguably replaced a new game of a similar scope
Monolith Soft. Believe.
Edit: Christ, "to follow Splatoon and Fortnite" Lol, nvm. Has to be that Ninjala
Link's Awakening replaced a new 2D Zelda. NSMBUD is more of a port than a remake. Resources could've still be put towards a new 2D Mario.
If we count Famicom Detective Club remakes (don't know if they are 1 or 2 games) and the Brain Training game then it's 7:2
Nintendo needs to announce at least 5 new games to make it even (not.counting 3rd party published since they are region specific)
Do you think that's achievable? Leaving small eShop games aside, I think chances are very slim.
The Splatoon/Fortnite stuff makes me think of Ninjala but that didn't have any huge monsters last time I checked. Weird.
Wasn't even made by the same developers as the last 2D Zelda.
Mario 64 doesn't need a remake. I recently replayed the original and it hasn't aged, even the visuals. A true timeless masterpiece. The best 3D Mario ever made.
If by "remake Mario 64" you mean "port Mario 3D World" then yeah I'm all for it
I'd prefer a new title. It depends what else happens around it. By 'new title', I mean if I had the choice, I'd take a new 3D Mario over a remake of Super Mario 64. If Super Mario 64 was handled externally, with some oversight from EPD Tokyo, leaving EPD Tokyo to make another, new game (not necessarily Mario), I'd be more interested.
I'm less interested in individual remakes than I am a balanced line-up. With a 3D World port seemingly inevitable, I'd rather see a new 3D Mario or a new game from EPD Tokyo next.
There's no real proof of that. Grezzo handled Link's Awakening with some help from EPD 3, and Grezzo are a small team. Their brief with Nintendo has almost entirely been remasters, ports and remakes, with the exception of Ever Oasis (which bombed, sadly) and co-development duties on Triforce Heroes.
Don't get me wrong - I'd take a new top-down Zelda over further remakes - but it's not as simple as 'X team made Y remake, when X team could make a new project'. A new project would be different in scope - it'd need planning, writing, level and map design and so on, which already all existed for Link's Awakening.
It's my favorite game of all time but it's delusional to say it hasn't aged. The camera has certainly aged.
they already have some 64 assets from Odyssey, it would be a great $40-$50 release imo
Or at least you know give us n64 games on eshop

An update for those who missed it yesterday,
Venture Beat is predicting that the Direct will take place on the week of March 26th, likely on the 26th, and that an Indie showcase/presentation will take place next week, likely on March 18th.

EDIT: Apparently I should point out that Zhuge liked or retweeted this or something so it seems to be pretty rock solid.

Venture Beat: March Nintendo Direct in the works with focus on 2020 lineup (Indie World on March 18th, Nintendo Direct the week after)
The next Nintendo Direct is in the works. The publisher hasn’t confirmed the event yet, but it’s in the final stages of putting the video presentation together. That’s based on what we’re hearing as well as some other indicators. Expect a Nintendo Direct soon. The company is penciling in one of...

A new retail IP (they've had one every year for Switch)
It's a pipe dream but I wish Mario 64 would be remade, then bundled with HD remasters of Sunshine, Galaxy 1-2, and 3D World in a Super Mario All Stars 2 package
Don't ever play that filth. That "remake" is fundamentally dogshit.
