Thinking about the audience that skipped the generation of Wii U or for those who want to relive the experience on a powerful handheld console, we give our suggestion on what the next remastered titles should be. It is worth remembering that this selection is very personal, but with some suggestions based on internet rumors. Check out:

10 – New Super Mario Bros. U + New Super Luigi U

a rumor from the site Comic Book, popular for citing recurring games that turned out to be real, hinted that a "2D platformer" game of the mustachioed will be released in the near future, becoming the one in that style for the newest console. If proven true, the speculated version would bring as an integral part the additional content of its twin brother, Luigi - which is nothing more than a reimagined version of the levels with an extra spice of challenge.

9 – The Wonderful 101

The project of an ambitious partnership between PlatinumGames and Nintendo, the title exudes unbridled action with its fast-paced combos and colossal boss battles in isometric perspective. In addition to being fun, a port success would further strengthen ties with the developer, who is currently working on Bayonetta 3  — possibly bringing, in partnership with Square-Enix, the memorable NieR: Automata protocols for Nintendo Switch.

8 – Yoshi's Woolly World

The announcement and demonstration of a title in development of Yoshi it was enough for many fans to look forward to yet another visually and mechanically enjoyable dinosaur adventure. In the meantime, the cute, well-built wool world of Yoshi's Woolly World would certainly be welcome - given that the port de Nintendo 3DS left a little to be desired in graphics and performance. The role of the puppy poochy, added to a sales success of the Switch version, could even bring the faithful companion to other Nintendo franchises, such as Mario Kart e Super Smash Bros.

7 – Xenoblade Chronicles

Although the Xeno saga made its inaugural entry on the first PlayStation at the hands of the legendary Tetsuya Takahashi (one of those responsible for F e Chrono Trigger), the series became really popular in the West after Xenoblade Chronicles become one of the most highly regarded JRPGs on the Wii.

The success of this entry made Monolith Software invest heavily in a title in the series for the Wii U that, despite the most recent release of Xenoblade Chronicles 2, is still and still is one of the most anticipated games to arrive in the form of a port or definitive version for Switch. It would be even better to experience this journey with an adaptation to the present motion sensors of the Joy-Cons.

6 – Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival

Unlike other games in the franchise, amiibo festival is an spin off to be tried out with friends during a festive gathering — despite differing opinions among critics and players.

Set in the colorful and charismatic universe of the social simulation franchise, the game features minigames simple and fast for each turn of the board game in which the player participates. It's a nice addition for fans of Isabelle, Tom Nook and company, even as the long-awaited Super Mario Party at the end of the year. Also, this would be our chance to make use of Animal Crossing amiibo on Switch.

5 – Paper Mario: Color Splash

The franchise Paper Mario is an option for mustachioed fans who like RPGs and games with a more elaborate and relevant story. The fifth entry in the series premiered in 2016 on Wii U — near the end of its lifespan — which was a downside as many players are already aware that the Nintendo Switch would be released in 2017 and that it wouldn't be worth continuing to invest in the late console. The simplified mechanics, the pleasant look and the fact that it can be played in small sessions on the small screen and on the “big screen” are more than enough reasons for this game to arrive on Switch soon.

4 – Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE

Probably the least known game among readers, but it would still be an important addition to the library. One Crossovers between Shin Megami Tensei and Fire Emblem series, this niche RPG is set between the modern city of Tokyo and realms of parallel reality, offering both social interactions and exploration and combat in dungeons.

The fans of Atlus games and also the admirers of Japanese culture would be the most interesting target audience for this port.

3 – Super Mario Maker

Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Mario, Zelda and many other Nintendo franchises, said that Super Mario Maker it was his contribution to the industry to let players know the feeling and fulfillment behind creating unforgettable levels.

In this title, currently also available for Nintendo 3DS, the player can switch between four skins — between three classic games and one modern — to create their own sequence of platforming challenges and obstacles, sharing their creations with other players.

The arrival on Switch could also bring, in the form of physical media, the artbook collectible that accompanied the version of Wii U for those who love the art style of the series.

2 - Pikmin 3

The Nintendo series of real-time strategy games has received one entry per console released: the GameCube received the original Pikmin, the Wii received Pikmin 2, the Wii U received Pikmin 3 and Nintendo 3DS has received Hey! Pikmin. Believing the rumors of a new Pikmin title in development, the arrival of the third title in the series to Switch would be very welcome.

And, if you're going to dream even bigger, how fantastic would it be to announce a remaster of the trilogy, wouldn't you say?

1 – Super Mario 3D World

Mario is really such an important protagonist for the gaming world that he appears three times on this list. And this is by no means unfair: Super Mario 3D World is one of the best entries of the main mascot of Nintendo throughout its history.

Transporting Mario, Luigi, Peach and Toad all with sprixie kingdom, the title offers a lot of post-game content and stands out for the multiplayer Fun spot for up to four people. This is the title that would guarantee dozens of hours of entertainment for casual and avid gamers alike.

It is worth remembering that one of the limitations of the process of porting games from Wii U to Switch is the need for the gamepad for various features in some specific games – such as the fun ones La trama orientada al gènere, que és senzilla si està en capes amb molts girs i calfreds, desmenteix la cura, la complexitat i el toc lleuger que Liu i Takeda aporten al material. Milly i Billy són germans discutits amb problemes familiars dels adults joves. La seva mare Ipo és àcida i exigent, literalment una mare tigre de l'infern. L'encant ventós de Keon manté a tothom a distància, excepte Ipo, amb qui gaudeix d'una relació singularment estreta. Les dinàmiques familiars són immediatament reconeixibles i universals, tot i que estan arrelades molt específicament en l'experiència d'immigrants xino-nord-americans. Nintendo Land e Game & Wario and in the authentic puzzle Affordable Space Adventures.

In addition to the very distinct architectures, the fact of having to re-adapt mechanics that were fundamentally intended for an additional touch screen could compromise the gameplay.
