We’re nonetheless receiving top-notch releases by the bucketload on Swap, however because the console enters the latter section of its lifespan, we’re effectively and actually in remake & remaster territory. The Wii U barrel has shortly run dry (although some stay that we might wish to see make the bounce to the hybrid) and up to date years have seen Nintendo flip to the DS and 3DS catalogue for inspiration — and gosh has it proved helpful thus far!
Final yr introduced us the likes of Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, May & Magic: Conflict of Heroes and Etrian Odyssey Origins Assortment and 2024 has already served up One other Code: Recollection, Apollo Justice: Ace Legal professional Trilogy and Pocket Card Jockey: Experience On!, with Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, The Legend of Legacy HD: Remastered and extra (in all probability) nonetheless but to return.
With the DS and 3DS libraries being so scorching proper now, we at Nintendo Life have determined to weigh in with a few of the titles that we want to see make the bounce from two screens to 1. Under, a handful of us have shared our remake desires. Have a learn by means of our highest hopes after which take to the feedback to share yours.

I’m combating the urge to be my predictable previous self, I actually am. However what sort of gentleman would I be if I did not point out Professor Layton? Drop the OG trilogy as a set after which launch the prequels the yr after á la Ace Legal professional to construct up curiosity for New World of Steam. It is a no-brainer.
Layton apart, there are some Nintendo ports that I might like to see come over to Swap. Fireplace Emblem: Awakening is without doubt one of the finest on the market and Metroid: Samus Returns seems like a straightforward option to tide us over to Prime 4 with a little bit of 2D motion. The precise reply to this query, although, is A Hyperlink Between Worlds. How that is not already on Swap, I simply do not know.

By this level, you know I will checklist off a bunch of RPGs which can be caught on the DS and/or 3DS. The primary two Bravely video games really feel like a given, absolutely? You’ve got obtained all of these Dragon Quest remakes. And, my private favorite DS RPG (I’ve not performed the 3DS model), Radiant Historia, is one I would notably like to see on Swap — it is completely good, and it has the perfect use of time journey since Chrono Set off. I promise I am not exaggerating.
However outdoors of RPGs, we all the time discuss concerning the handheld Sonic video games, so why not put Sonic Rush on Swap? It is such an underrated Sonic recreation, principally as a result of it’s caught on the DS. The sense of velocity is thrilling, and Blaze is such a cool character. I might fortunately take this over the upcoming Sonic X Shadow Generations.

We obtained Pocket Card Jockey, so I feel we’re completed right here.
Oh, okay. I agree 100% with Jim that Hyperlink Between Worlds and Fireplace Emblem: Awakening would solely profit from being accessible to extra folks. Rhythm Heaven is a standout franchise that we’ve not seen on Swap, an absence that may solely be a clerical error seeing as we have had two WarioWares. I really like that collection, too, however let’s unfold the love and make some hay earlier than the Swap’s winter, Nintendo!
DS-wise, I am a Spirit Tracks apologist and I keep in mind bouncing off Lodge Nightfall, so I would not thoughts one other crack at that.
So, there are our picks, however what about you? Take to the feedback to share which DS/3DS titles you’d wish to see make the bounce to Swap.
