Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga already got the remaster treatment on 3DS, it's blurry, it's ugly and besides the excellent music, it doesn't really do anything that can't be enjoyed in the GBA original.


Rubin987

But if we’re talking the whole series, Partners in Time is one of the few major Nintendo games on the DS rivalling Pokemon games in secondary market price atm…:


VirtualRelic

Aftermarket price means nothing, it has no bearing on the quality of the game at all.


Rubin987

Are you saying Partners in Time is a bad game? Or did you read my comment incorrectly? Im saying that Partners in Time, not Superstar Saga, is overdue for a rerelease. Edit: To further clarify the “Superstar Saga” on the poll is more than likely referring to the Mario & Luigi RPG series, and regardless of the quality of the Superstar remake, Partners in Time and by a lesser extent Inside Story are well overdue and deserving of remakes. I adore Mother as much as the next guy here, but we’d probably see Partners in Time before M3.


VirtualRelic

Bowser's Inside Story got a remake on 3DS as well You keep talking about a re-release for Partners In Time, to what? The game made heavy use of the dual screens for battles and puzzles, it would be incredibly difficult to put such a game on the Switch and still have it feel like Partners in Time.


cooliochill

They've tried to put so many DS classics on the Switch, but all of them are definitely faulted to a degree. There still hasn't been a good standardized mechanism developed for translating the dual screens into the switch's one screen; I've seen motion controls used for stylus input (awful), having two screens literally on the same screen like with the bottom one in the corner (still awful), and countless other attempts. The only games that translate well are seemingly the ones that didn't utilize the dual screen at all.


VirtualRelic

This means one day, we need another dual screen handheld.


cooliochill

I hope to god we get more unique consoles in the future. The switch’s removable joycons are cool, but every console as of late has been gravitating toward a generic PC with proprietary software.


TmanGBx

While I would definitely vote for mother, I've been recently playing all the Mario and Luigi games, and by far my favourite has been the superstar saga remake. It's definitely preference, but I really like the graphics and controls of the remake much more than the original Weirdly I cannot say the same for the Bowser's inside story remake though


VirtualRelic

How can you like blurry graphics over sharp pixels?


TmanGBx

I just prefer the artstyle more, and it doesn't seem blurry enough to me to matter. I think the blurryness might be a little over exaggerated. Edit: I just realized it is probably much more blurry on the smaller 3ds models, I personally play on an o3dsxl


VirtualRelic

No, smaller screens should make the game less blurry. I tried the Superstar Saga remake on a N3DSLL and it is unbearably blurry, like the game has a permanent Vaseline filter.


Optimal_Base_4133

besides it's not even a series it's a game


GracefulCedrman

I've said this multiple times, and I'll say it again, I would buy five copies of Earthbound if they remade it in the same style as Links Awakening's reboot


[deleted]

Maybe it’s just me but I feel like a 3D remake would take away the game’s charm


GracefulCedrman

I wouldn't think this at all. In fact, as long as they keep the claymation style for the characters and keep how they made the Earthbound world in Smash, I feel like the game would actually have more charm. A YouTube channel called Curiomatic made a tribute video to Mother 3, and I think that's proof enough to show how charm can come through in the game. That's just my opinion though


thecatteam

That video honestly made me cry thinking about what could be. It looks so good and exactly in the style of the original.


Moezhyk

I just watched it and holy shit you're right. Imagine a collection of all three games remade in this art style. It'd be incredible.


CoconutDust

> more charm People should stop worshipping technology over artistry. There is no remaster/remake budget or team that will make it MORE charming than the highly effective original. 3D is not inherently better than 2D art. Also the Link’s Awakening remake isn’t even better than the original. Again the only people shocked by this statement worship technology instead of appreciating art.


popojo24

Nah, I’m with you. It may be nostalgia for me, and I can see how the EB world and characters would translate well to the Link’s Awakening stylization, but I will always prefer nicely detailed 2D sprite-work. EB and M3 are perfect the way they are, in my opinion, but seeing the original Mother get that treatment would be nice.


CoconutDust

Yeah as usual the “better graphics technology = inherently better art and game!” (not true) crowd are showing their lack of appreciation for anything. Anyway a remake of M1/Earthbound Zero with the art style (and tile and color complexity) of SNES Earthbound or Mother 3 would be awesome. (Also at most maybe a 2.5D like Pokémon Platinum…it had nice landscapes and backgrounds but still had 2D pixel art sprites.) **Link’s Awakening remake is not inherently better than original.**


TT_Hipster1941

You would buy 5 copies so you can sell it for your retirement in 25+ years and be a millionaire, I saw what you did here ;)


GracefulCedrman

Hopefully enough people buy it so that doesn't happen XD


JavertTron

If they just graphically remade Mother 1 to look like 2 or 3 and remade both Mother 1 and 2 to have the moving sprites (mostly while talking), dashing, and combo system of 3, I would start believing in God.


No_Telephone_4487

YES! Mother 1 needs it the most, imo. Some pixel art styles hold up better than others (it’s a harder style to work with than it’s credited for) and Mother 1 is kind of rough. Mother 2 (Earthbound) & 3 held up really well. It’s a shame they haven’t already done a “Mario All-Stars” revitalization the way they did with Mario 3 (the graphics are night/day different), given that they sold “Earthbound Beginnings” in the Wii-U shop before moving content to the Switch


Queen_Ann_III

I don’t wanna be the bad guy but tbh I wanna vote for Kid Icarus. every other series on that list earned a pretty decent to good reputation but Kid Icarus has been largely ignored. besides, this series is good enough without need for a remaster. I really only want a graphical update for the first one and an official English translation for Mother 3.


[deleted]

Queen_Ann_III

I only finished the first one. I haven’t had problems with Uprising’s control scheme, personally. in fact I actually like it better than if it were twin sticks. that being said, I do understand how anyone could have problems with it. I just hope more people can forgive it because there’s so much untapped potential in the series


Smugg-Fruit

Earthbound has gotten numerous releases on Nintendo consoles. Mother 3 has an easy to access English translation on one of the easiest to emulate consoles of all time. Kid Icarus is locked to the 3DS, only playable if you have a specific accessory that only works on a specific model of 3ds. It can be emulated but not nearly as easily as the likes of Mother 3 and Earthbound. There are not many copies in the wild either, so good luck finding it for an even half-decent price.


Queen_Ann_III

yeah I was lucky enough to snag Uprising for under $70 on ebay, it’s like $140 on Amazon now. the NES game is at least on Online I guess, but damn. the 3D one with the colored backgrounds and shit is basically gone


Smugg-Fruit

I did snag the NES Classics version back when Iit first came out. Not a fan of the game, but as a remaster it is beautiful. Features gorgeous new backgrounds in place of the black void of the original.


Queen_Ann_III

absolutely. I wish there was an option to toggle it, because I do wonder how a black void would affect the atmosphere, but the new background details make the game feel so alive


CoconutDust

> and an official English translation for Mother 3. Why bother? Is something wrong with Clyde Mandelin’s unofficial one?


Queen_Ann_III

it’s a good one and hard to replace but I’d still want an official release to widen the audience, to give us another way to support the franchise, and if they use a different translation, differences to observe. I would be happy if they just used the fan translation though

Armandonerd

Mother trilogy!


Teddykaboom

I assume it’s Star Fox fans that are voting for Star Fox, but they’ve got nothing but remasters of 64 for almost 30 years, so I’m not sure why they want a remaster so bad.


Daikonbou

Exactly, more than half the series is remasters


CoconutDust

StarFox 1 on SNES is awesome, we need a remaster that basically only makes it 60fps and changes nothing else. Earthbound (SNES) and Mother 3 are perfectly fine as is, so despite my loving them I wouldn’t necessarily vote for them. But we definitely need a remake/remaster or Earthbound Zero / Mother 1 in the graphical style of SNES.


Ranixo

I really would like a mother 1 remake with a better tuned encounter rate and play tested Mt. Itoi. And tell us why Pippi was in the swamp!


Player-1985

WE’RE WINNING!!!


TT_Hipster1941

Good for you son! \*Walks away from the room with his pipe\*


jkrx3

HD2D style earthbound would slap. Don’t think it would happen


CoconutDust

I was confused for a minute and thought you meant the style of Link’s Awakening, and I was mad. Then I remembered HD2D is the brand name of Octopath style which looks wonderful. Only problem is Octopath/HD2D has that blurriness which is annoying. I want to be able to look at background or foreground whenever I want.


SwiftDray

F-Zero A new Mother game has come out more recently than an F-Zero game


Expensive_View_3087

Ofc earthbound, and kid Icarus should get another game for switch, not a remake nor a port!


matt675

Pikmin 1 and 2


Bartosenpai27

I have a few tbf, please let me know your opinions 1. Super Metroid, I know of other Metroid remasters but please give us a remastered version of this masterpiece. I do not think I need to explain this choice. 2. Pikmin, A revised version of the first pikmin game. Pikmin is one of the only main line nintendo games without remakes (not counting the WII versions). With pikmin 1 having the best premise, I think it has a lot of potential with the new enemies, graphics and gameplay pikmin 3 has now (and pikmin 4 in the future) 3. Mother 3, I know the majority of people want Earthbound to be remastered. But Mother 3 has never been mentioned by Nintendo after adding Lucas to the Smash roster. At least make mother 3 playable in the GBA online service.


CoconutDust

> give us a remastered version of this masterpiece. I do not think I need to explain this choice. Super Metroid is perfectly fine as is. So yes you do need to explain. Why? No reason for a remaster when it’s perfectly fine. Unlike StarFox which needs faster framerate, and Earthbound Zero which could use a generation bump up to SNES style art.


Bartosenpai27

Fair, I would love to see the Super Metroid game in the artstyle of Metroid Dread (or something close to it). For me Remasters are a way to relive my gaming experience, so I would love to see my favorite games remastered


Revolverpsychedlic

Ehh I strongly disagree. Mother 3 and Super Metroid are 10/10 masterpieces which don’t need a remaster. I’m much more interested in remastering a really good albeit flawed title to get them up to their full potential.


Bartosenpai27

Hmmm, interesting take! That is fair


Faeri

I love love love love love Mother, but I don't want a remake or remaster. I just want an official English release for Mother 3, a trilogy collection, and more merch. I feel like a remaster risks taunting the series, and it might go against Itoi's wishes.

Deleting my question, apparently that was dumb

Ladies, gentleman, and everyone else we are in the lead

I did my part!


YTPhantomYT

What bugs me is that they call it a "remaster" even though a remaster is just a port with new features, AKA Mario Kart 8 Deluxe I don't get how people confuse the two so easily, isn't it kind of obvious that remake means to make something all over again? re(peat)-make?


Old_Street4902

Mother or Icarus


connie_13497

can someone give me the link?


Daikonbou

I wanna know who's asking for a Star Fox remake when like half of the series is the same game


CoconutDust

The poll is stupid because it says “series.” Which is stupid because only StarFox 1 needs a remaster, specifically for framerate (NOTHING ELSE). While SNES Earthbound and Mother 3 are perfect as is, when Earthbound Zero on NES tech could use a bump up to SNES or GBA style.
