Nintendo to upgrade graphics on retro games for revo download?
|
|
|
| we already saw mario bros with updated graphics, it was called
super mario all stars.. they should offer all the unaltered
originals for free, and then hire some people to update some
of the old snes and n64 classics.. really take it seriously and
make them as pretty as possible and charge for those. like super
mario world, a link to the past, super metroid, mario 64,
ocarina/majora.. maybe even add a bunch of secret areas or levels
to give people another reason to play through the games.

"Some classic games downloaded to Revolution may receive a makeover.
In an interview with Electronic Gaming Monthly, Nintendo President
Satoru Iwata revealed an interesting potential facet of the Revolution's
library of downloadable classics. Apparently, Nintendo is researching
the possibility of having some of their games receive a fresh new
graphical makeover for their Revolution incarnations.
As Iwata put it: "We are doing several experiments, including working
with the original Super Mario Bros., with the new technology...The game
itself and the gameplay shall be identical, but the look will be
different; it's possible that with Revolution, we may be able to see the
old games with new looks."
That's all well and good for the NES and SNES' libraries, but a question
that arises is just how far Nintendo would be willing to take such an
endeavour. Also, would they extend makeover efforts to 3D N64 games?
According to the article, Nintendo as of yet has no concrete plans to
remodel such 3D classics as Mario 64 and its brethren, although Nintendo
offered that those downloaded 3D games could potentially "look sharper"
running on the Revolution.
Again, just like with practically most aspects of the Revolution, this
feature is yet under discussion within the hallowed halls of Nintendo
headquarters. Whether or not we can ultimately look forward to lovely
new graphics in some of our favorite Nintendo classics of yesteryear is
still up in the air, but rest assured Cube-Europe will be there to
report on any finalized Revolution details."
Wow! How tasty would Ocarina of Time be with a graphical update???

The NES and SNES emulators on the PC already do a nice job of improving the
graphics, so it shouldn't be too difficult for Nintendo to do the same. It
could be optional, just like it is with the emulators.

I think it would be nice to have the option to play them as they were
originally created, or with the new graphics/features.

Good idea. Didn't they add stuff to the GBA releases of the mario games?
I hope this feature doesn't end up sucking.

Well, I think they are taking about redoing the graphics, as opposed to
making them appear "sharper". I would love to see the original Super Mario
Bros with a super graphics update, Mario All Stars blew me away with it's
update, imagine what they could do now?
