If there’s one company in the gaming world that has always
been in favor of remakes, it’s Nintendo. It feels like Nintendo is always
remaking or porting it’s classic games onto newer consoles and handhelds. The
Super Mario Advance games, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, The Metroid Prime
Trilogy and of course the most recent efforts, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of
Time 3D and Star Fox 64 3D. For better or worse, Nintendo has a way with
getting away with remakes. Maybe it’s because their games are just that
timeless. Or maybe it’s the fact that they seem to go the extra mile when
remaking their games, including better graphics, new features and just all
around upgrading what is likely already a great game.

Just like the DS before it, the 3DS is looking to be a great
home for remakes of older Nintendo games, specifically from the Nintendo 64
era. Just look at Ocarina of Time. It’s one of the most beloved and important
games in gaming history and Nintendo went back and updated it for a new market
and guess what? It may actually be even better now. Only Nintendo could take
what many consider to be the best game ever made and actually improve it.
So what am I counting down today? Well, I’m taking a look at
six Nintendo games I want remade for the 3DS. I was originally going to make it
ten but after going over the list, I felt many of them were either a bit of a
stretch or I just didn’t really see a purpose for them to remade, so I changed
it to six. Without any more delay, let’s get started.
