if we're talking "upscaled Hagi port" kind of remaster, gimme Luigi's Mansion
if it's more along the lines of Prime Remastered, I think I'd pick Chibi-Robo

I was gonna say F-Zero GX but this has reminded me that Custom Robo needs it a bit more, especially as we never got the GameCube game here in Europe so a Switch remaster with online multiplayer would be greatly appreciatedMy 2 picks wont happen: FE PoR (because FE4 is on the way) and Gale of Darkness (because of TPC) lol.
So lets go with my next pick, a game I still have on my will lol:
Soralink91
Moblin
Super Smash Bros Melee to watch the world burn if Nintendo took out any of the glitches and because I would like to play a remastered Melee.

What are you doing in my head?
This is literally something I've wanted for a long time as well. One of my all-time top 5 JRPGs IMO.
Seeing Vyse, Aika, and Fina as playable characters Valkyria Chronicles recently made me miss the SoA days, I pick them every chance I have.

Hm...good question. Star wars rough squadron 2, , melee, path of radiance, fzero gx, second sight,, .not sure if there is much else left that I would want .. so let's say: FE path of Radiance.

But has any insider claimed that the game is close to completion or about how far it is? Last thing I remember is Papa Geno's saying that it was apparently delayed because Nintendo wasn't happy with the cinematics.
Other than that, I only recall Emily saying it was targeting 2023 back in late 2021 which is mostly in line with a possible release in 2024 or 2025 following internal delays.
Metroid Prime 4 trailer. Even if it's held to be released with the next console, they'll reveal the game for Switch and then have it appearing on the Switch 2 trailer just like BotW did with Wii U/Switch.
I'd say it can appear on the trailer even if it releases before the console just like a bunch of already released games appeared on the OLED trailer alongside Dread, TotK and Splatoon 3.
I'm gonna say Twilight Princess because I think it can get another remaster not based on TP HD for Switch. Call it "Twilight Princess Remastered", touch up the geometry, add a new lighting and all. Just make something in the vein of Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition.

For first party Star Fox Assault has the top priority for me. I do have tons of runner ups: Eternal Darkness, Chibi Robo, FE Path of Radiance, SF Adventures, Batallion Wars, Giftpia.
Third party? Tough choice. Sounds like a three way tie for Skies of Arcadia, Metal Gear Twin Snakes and Rogue Squadron 2.

Not saying that's the same as saying it's "done" or sitting finished on a shelf already, but it does kinda suggest Prime 4 is in the home stretch development-wise

Definitely Skies of Arcadia. There are some game so think need full remakes (imagine Eternal Darkness getting the REmake treatment. Only way it would work I think).
- Pronouns

Custom Robo and it isn't even close. It's viable, isn't caught up in licensing nonsense, and extremely overdue since 2006 on DS. Not to mention, I love the idea of Joycon colours influencing the Robos you build based on what's hooked up to your Switch. One of the top five hypest game attract screens of all time
Other contenders I would be content to see get a port/remaster is Starfox Adventures (Rare at MS), Chibi Robo (RIP Skip), F-Zero GX (Sega/AV Studios/Nagoshi), Luigi's Mansion (probably doable and still fairly likely before LM2 drops), or from third parties SSX Tricky, Soul Calibur 2 (with all three guest characters), and/or Gauntlet Dark Legacy

There's only one possible answer from me. Maybe rebalance it though if they want to give it online.

Chibi-Robo! Enjoyer

The first Chibi-Robo! is my pick, unsurprisingly.
I do think if they were going to try to bring that series back in any meaningful way without taking the risk on a new entry, a touch-up of the first game is the best way to get people into the series. It's the best received of them all and is the best example of what the series is, in my opinion.
Honorable mention to Eternal Darkness, though. The idea of Nintendo having and utilizing a dedicated horror franchise that isn't Luigi's Mansion is very tempting.
F-Zero GX would be very cool!
But I like Metroid Prime 2 more
Melee on Switch 2 please

I still haven’t bought a single game this year and I probably won’t buy anything for this first half so it would be the perfect time for a metroid prime 2 release, I’m in the mood for some metroid and I’m willing to spend 40€ for it

Normally I'd choose one of the Zelda games but since those are more than likely not going to be hagi ports but their respective Wii U HD versions
First place for me is Star Fox Adventures, second the first Luigi's Mansion

Remaster Or remake?
Remake Eternal darkness
Remaster Ocarina of time master quest
tetsugo
Rattata
Eternal Darkness all the way. Being the Switch a portable console where you have volume controls and stuff like that it would be totally possible to mess with player's head like the original but with a modernized scheme.

i've never played Skies of Arcadia and would be interested in giving it a shot if it got one
Eternal Darkness sounds interesting too and i've also never played that but I don't really play a lot of games in its genre in general so gotta give it to Skies of Arcadia here

I'm on board! My only gripe with those games are the horrible voice acting in the cutscenes, which admittedly aren't that important to a fire emblem game, but man were they bad. Like grab your little brother and have him record some lines for us, bad.
Also, the battle/attack scenes were kinda ugly (especially given how glorious the GBA ones were in that regard). Again, not super important since typically I turn off battle animations after some time, but still could use polish.

Yeah, I think the game releasing late this year makes sense. Would already account for a delay from 2023, and with some contracts I think it's been on the polishing phase and maybe even QA testing already. And would be ~6 years of development, so plenty of time for Retro to fully realize their vision.
I honestly don't think it was ever meant to be cross gen, since major games like Pikmin 4, Super Mario RPG and mainly Wonder were always meant to come in 2023 just like MP4 was at some point. It'd happen to be cross gen because it'd come just around the same time as Switch 2 this fall, but with the hardware delay I think it's still aiming for that spot. But it coming in spring 2025 isn't off the cards and wouldn't mean a disaster or anything like that. I just hope we see it this year because I can't wait!!
I think the biggest plot twist possible would be either Animal Crossing or New Leaf coming in the fall and we get both a remaster/remake and a 10m selling game in the second half looooool.

Switch sucessor reveal with a tease of Metroid Prime 4, next 3D Mario etc..., close to launch Nintendo will do a ppresentation showcasing all this games and more
BlackthornOrion
#theprocessbroke
same, I've always figured that if Prime 4 ends up being cross-gen, it'd be more incidentally so and not because it's planned as some strategic next-gen showcase. Like, if Prime 4 isn't ready this year and needs to wait til spring, I could see them thinking "OK, let's see if we can line this up with the general time of when the Switch 2 will be out". But I also think if it can come out this year, it's not really the kind of thing Nintendo would hold back for 6-8 more months just so it can be a "premier Switch 2 title"
I think a lot of people have it in their head that if Nintendo/Retro make Prime 4 cross-gen or even maybe next-gen only, it'll somehow not be "held back" by the older hardware, but the reality is that the bulk of its development has almost certainly been with the current Switch as the target hardware. So I don't see it changing much one way or the other; more granular things like load times and resolution might be better on the new thing, but "Switch 1-only vs Cross-gen vs Next-gen only" probably isn't gonna fundamentally change whatever Prime 4 ends up being at this point. Much like how BotW is, for all intents and purposes, the same game whether you play it on WiiU or Switch

OG Animal Crossing.
Best music in the series (by FAR), and it just has that special aura that the later entries just don't have (even Wild World was a very different game already).
Are the latter games all better games ? Yes, definitely. But the first Animal Crossing game is just very different and unique.
Beyond this one, I would say Chibi Robo (though I would probably prefer it to be remade. Even back then the controls were a bit rough, even if probably a bit on purpose), F-Zero GX (need that Dreamcast era Sega energy on my Nintendo console), and Odama (need that weird ass late N64/early Gamecube era energy on my Nintendo console. Bring Doshin the Giant too even if that game is fucking terrible, it has soul nonetheless)
I feel like I’d get the most out of Four Swords Adventures with online play so maybe that? F-Zero GX with online play and everything unlocked from the start would also be super cool. I could take a straight port of Kirby’s Air Ride and be happy there.
If I was being a touch strategic, games I haven’t played like Fire Emblem and Skies of Arcadia would probably be better picks for myself.
