4 Nintendo Games We'd Like To See Given The HD Treatment

By Jeana Cunningham / July 1, 2012

What with talks of a possible HD version of Shenmue in the pipeline for XBLA and PSN [EuroGamer] we have got to thinking what games could be given the same treatment for the Wii U. Here are our thoughts...

4. Pokemon

A GameBoy Original but we think that, now the Wii U is getting involved with the massive social side of gaming, this would make an absolutely fantastic console game. The biggest reason for this is that you would have the option to do battle with, not only in-game trainers, but real people across the country and world as well. After having a quick play through the original Pokemon game, not that we needed an excuse to pick it up, we decided that we would love to see it on the big screen. The integration of the handheld screen would also be sure to be utilised brilliantly as this is were Pokemon has it's roots so could obviously be translated well for it. The towns through out the game could be brought to life with almost realistic graphics. Not only that it would also be great to see the battles playing out on a big screen with the use of animation to wow us.

3. Skies of Arcadia

We know this is a Dreamcast original but it also had a huge following from GameCube fans from when it was remade for that platform, so we think it's plausible to put it in this list. The opportunity to turn this amazing game into a beautiful high definition remake should not be missed. It already has a huge following from it's previous releases and we're sure they would be more than happy to invest in this update. Along with the visual enhancements that would be added to the game, the added small screen would provide constant access to things such as maps showing us what direction we need to go incase you're like me and have no directional capabilities and what perils are fast approaching. Another thing that new controller could add into the mix is another view of the enemies stats, their strengths and weaknesses. Everything will be right there at the glance of an eye.
