I mean, yeah, the question was about Switch games you would play if they were remastered Since you brought it up and with how much you lot talk about your love for Four Swords Adventures, though, I would absolutely love to see it remastered and brought back to life. Agreed on all the above, and a Smash Ultimate remaster with enhanced visuals and *maybe* a couple more characters, stages, idk maybe bring trophies back (okay forget the characters and stages please just bring trophies back!) could be great. Especially seeing as we're all hoping Samurai's next game isn't a Smash game, it'd be a smart way to tide us over until mid- or late-gen with the Switch 2 if they want a new one out. I'm surprised you didn't mention probably the best case for a Smash Ultimate remaster, though: rollback netcode. I know we heard that for whatever reason Ultimate couldn't implement it, but hey, if you're going to take the time to potentially remaster it for Switch 2, I'd argue getting functioning rollback netcode would be *the* reason to do so. Yeah, this is pretty much where I'm at as well, I'm not sure if/when I'll revisit BOTW and TOTK, but if I do I feel like it's a long ways away. I guess what brought the question on was I got recommended one of those "4K60 RTX on" BOTW vids on YouTube and while the smoothness of 60fps in that game is visually weird, there's no doubt it's a looker and the art style pops perhaps that little bit more. Potentially change up assets so that they're higher quality and there's more visually interesting things going on from a tech perspective? I could see myself maybe not playing through the whole thing again, but wanting to play around in that world with higher fidelity for probably a good chunk of time, just to mess around. As for the frame rate issues in BOTW, I do think that it's *generally* overblown - I mean, the game world is massive and running on a Switch, and what they manage in TOTK with different map planes and how you move between them is WILD (heh) - but they're there. I'm especially susceptible to frame rate changes as if a game goes from running smoothly to chugging I'll feel physically sick - Dragon Quest XI's tall grass back on PS4 when I first played I remember being an issue - until my mind adapts, which can take a few sessions if it's a consistent issue. I never had that issue with BOTW, even if I did notice the frame rate drops, but how a certain forest area in that game was presented was almost completely undermined by just how shoddily the game performs there. I'd love for them to just so that more people could enjoy the games, and it would also make PlayStation a heck of a lot of money, but if rumours from a few months back are to be believed, PlayStation seem to be considering a handheld device for next-gen, likely to try to get them some traction in Japan – if there's any truth to that, I don't think it would happen purely because it would be a showcase for it to run on that system. Then again, they're on PC, and already available on Steam Deck, and if PlayStation aren't doing a handheld thing for next-gen? I can't really see much reason not to, other than them needing to cling onto their first-party IP crazy hard right now with almost all of their GAAS going up in flames. I'm still gutted that Tears didn't look much different. I remember us all speculating ahead of release - maybe it was ahead of E3 2021 when we got that second trailer? - what they could do, and I remember really wanting them to just change up the grass colour so it was darker, and change up the weather in certain spots in the game, just so that when I recalled it in my mind there'd be some sort of identifier. The journeys kind of blur together in my head a little bit apart from the starkly different things each game had which kept them unique, which feels like a real shame. -
Brave of you to assume it won't be releasing in the second half of 2025. -
They'd have to make some serious changes for a BotW remaster beyond framerate and minor graphical changes (which seams unlikely as it never felt like TotK did much). I have zero issues playing the Wii U version, with the only downside is the lack of some basic (and, frankly, needed, although TotK also made that even worse) Game Pad functions. -
BOTW actually runs very well on Switch. There's a couple of brief moments of slowdown in like a couple of areas, but that's it. Now, the Wii U version? Oh boy, now there's a horror show! I played that version of the game and it would definitely drop to the low teens on the regular. Still, Nintendo decided to commission Twilight Princess HD, despite the fact that the Wii U could already play the Wii version natively anyway (and even the GCN version with a bit of homebrew hacking), so stranger things have happened. I mean. This is the company that already has no less than 5 versions of Super Mario Bros (Arcade Archives, NES NSO, SNES NSO, SMB35, Nintendo World Championships) playable on the same console. I wouldn't put anything past them at this point. -
Well, now that we have our first official look at Switch 2 (and a comittment to a 2025 release date), I suppose it's now safe for me to put up a pledge of my own... This list is not exhaustive Surely they can't delay it again now!?
