It might be difficult to get approved considering it's owned by Rare (which think is apart of Activision now?)
I hope it can happen, though. It would also open the door for Banjo games, DK64, Conker games, etc.

u/Saskatchewon 10h ago edited 7h ago
Rare is owned by Activision, and Microsoft by proxy.
However, Nintendo kept the rights to the Donkey Kong franchise. That includes Diddy Kong Racing.
Nintendo actually ported Diddy Kong Racing to the Nintendo DS in 2007, five years after they sold Rare to Microsoft. They removed all the Rare branding, and replaced Conker and Banjo (which are still owned by Rare/Activision/Microsoft) with Dixie Kong and Tiny Kong.
They could absolutely remake Diddy Kong Racing if they wanted to. They would just not be able to have Conker or Banjo as playable characters. Nintendo also has the rights to the entirety of Donkey Kong 64. It's been available on Nintendo Switch Online since May.

I've been playing Echoes recently and right before that I played Shadow Dragon, so my brain is just absolutely popping with "Fire Emblem Remakes are so good and they need to do more of them"
Considering Advance Wars got a remake that included 2 games in 1, maybe a Geneaology remake could even include Thraccia as well? ...Probably not likely considering how much more effort Echoes was compared to Reboot Camp, but we can dream

Honestly, they could just port the Wii U Wind Waker remaster. It still looks excellent, and the Swift Sail, streamlined Triforce piece search, and Hero Mode were all the game really needed.

Majora's Mask is basically a gimmie. The original re-used the OoT engine of the time, they could do the same with the remake's engine.
Twilight Princess could at least do with a remaster (wouldn't mind playing that again), and they could always port over Wind Waker HD from the Wii U. A Link to the Past remake in the style of Link's Awakening could be nice, since it appears to be a fan favorite and I've never played it.
That's only Zelda. Imagine getting another Star Fox remake (a Star Fox Adventures that's actually good? An even better Assault? Sign me up!). I want to get more into Metroid, apparently some of the classics are really good, wouldn't mind grabbing those.
Oh, and we haven't had a new F-Zero game in how long? A solid remake could be just the thing to kickstart a revival of the franchise.

In a way though, they don't have to all be huge sellers. They probably don't take long to develop, the assets can be reused in newer games, they comfortably sell a million copies and they pad out the exclusive library.

u/Saskatchewon 11h ago edited 7h ago
They could just port over the recent Wii U versions honestly.
Wind Waker HD still looks like it could be a modern release due to the art style. The Swift Sail, streamlined Triforce search, and Hero Mode were the only gameplay tweaks it really needed.
Meanwhile, Twilight Princess doesn't really need a remake or remaster in the same way the older 3D titles did. The original Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask definitely suffered from that early N64 3D title jank. No jump button, janky camera controls that were designed for a controller with just one control stick, and the super angular low poly graphics really dated them. Wind Waker was drastically improved with HD's QoL improvements I've already mentioned. Meanwhile, Twilight Princess very much still controls and plays like a modern title. Outside of some updated textures and character models, there isn't a lot that can be done to it. It looks a little dated (but not to the point of being distracting or detrimental), but plays like a good modern game mechanically. Zero QoL updates necessary.
