1. Super Metroid (SNES)
There’s a
lot to love about Super Metroid: the expansive
levels, the layered story, the awesome graphics, not to mention the challenging
and awesome gameplay. But it’s also one of the bestNintendo games
to get the Wii-U treatment. The Wii-U would be a fabulous map add-on -- a given
considering the importance of direction in the game and the Wii-U’s affinity
for separate screen management tools. But one of the coolest things would be a
special use of one of Samus’ later tools, the X-Ray Scope. One of the most
valuable tools in the game, the X-Ray Scope helps players see when walls can be
broken or where secret items are hiding. One catch: it can be really unwieldy. Thanks
to the Wii-U, a quick scan of the screen with the gamepad would be a seamless
way to look for faulty walls and find sweet loot. Plus, it would make the
scanning sequence way more badass. Image courtesy of ~KeR-
As
anticipation for Nintendo’s next-generation console, the Wii-U, continues to mount, there’s plenty to
wonder about its new functionality and how new gestures and playing experiences
will change gameplay. And, since the new Wii-U gamepad comes fully equipped
with stylus functionality, an orienting gyroscope and touch capabilities, there
are many enriching ways to enjoy your Mario session.
Of course,
there are some classic games in Nintendo’s archives that could also really
benefit from the Wii-U’s new tricks. And, given the extensive library of old
games Nintendo has brought back through the Wii console, perhaps it isn’t too
farfetched to dream about a reboot.
Here are 10
games from Nintendo’s repertoire that could be truly amazing with a revamped
Wii-U experience. A handheld X-Ray Scope for Super Metroid? Awesome. A
place to put that dumb fairy Navi in Ocarina of Time? Don’t mind
if I do. There are plenty of innovative ways the Wii-U can reshape these games,
and it’ll get you pumped for the console’s release.
