M&L1-3 HD: Good or Bad?

It had to be an overhaul of the design of the game. What do you mean "hi-res graphics"? That would mean essentially overhauling the entire game, starting with sprites. Remember, the first game is displayed in low-res GBA screens. To convert it into HD would mean higher resolution sprites and reworking map layouts and all. Same thing for the previous games. I'd like more content, though, and still, a graphical overhaul sounds nice. I don't think it's plausible at this point, though, although maybe we can get a Super Mario All-Star esque collection of Mario & Luigi games. I don't expect HD graphics, though, but if we do get some really nice looking sprites which resemble something like Wario Land: Shake It!!, no doubt the effort would be worth it.

I doubt characters such as Donkey Kong and Wario would be added. The remakes would just have other things and perhaps more original characters, but that's not a very exciting prospect for me.

Like M&L 1-3 with Dream Team graphics? I would probably buy that.

I would love this. Most likely won't happen, but I'd like it nonetheless. Ideally it would look more like HD Dream Team in terms of graphics, with the sprites resembling this HD version of Antasma I made:


Though Nintendo and Alpha Dream could almost definitely improve that with more detail, etc. I'd absolutely love to see an official hi-res 3D-like Fawful sprite. And to see the Beanbean Kingdom in Mario Kart 8/3D World style graphics... man.

Super Mario Bros. 3 with suddenly Sunshine graphics? Eh, that would look ridiculous. It would probably look more like New Super Mario Bros. to be honest.

Oh, and if they're going to make HD sprites, they should probably take advantage of vector graphics (which the custom Antasma reminds me of).

That's because I used Inkscape to make it. (Well some of the shading was done afterwards in Photoshop, but yeah)

Some of the gradients were done in Inkscape, but complicated ones that go in and out of a color repeatedly (like on his head-spikes, the lighter portion of which is entirely one object that goes under the darker portion) I wasn't sure how to implement without using multiple objects, and if I did that I wouldn't be able to smoothly transition the gradients as easily, so I opted to just shade in Photoshop.

Ahh some great responses!! I personally thing a SM-All Stars collection would be cool.

Exactly. I mean we got the fifth one but that doesnt really count for multiple ressons (first off we europeans never got a stafy game,second americans only got the fifth and finally it was like the weakest of the series) so i really hope for a collection . Especially for the original gba trilogy

And yrah the stafy series has a really REALLY small fanbase. Like outside japan there may be like ...10 fans ?? (Myself included btw

Exactly. The stafy series was moderatelybig in Japan and I think the main reason it didnt become something was because NOA didnt export it. I think it could have become a moderate hit here. Either that or wishful thinking

I feel that way about many more obscure Nintendo IPs tbh... i just wish Ninty could give these attention

Another good example is MOTHER. No it didnt get revival but its a beloved cult classic with an insane and dedicated fanbase

Huh?

Yeah its a thing. Its calles Earthbound beginnings tho

Battle Ring sounds neat. I'd like to take my Mario and Luigi with their kind-of ridiculous stats (like Luigi has 999 HP) and see how that fares. I suppose adding more sidequests wouldn't hurt either.

I agree with you xan. I want certain games translated but otherwise

Well, Playstation is doing that "Remastering" stuff, and special editions of certain games of Playstation (and in the possitive way to see it, because they wanted to give all the best experience to their new console of their best games without many Bugs or changing things it can better the experience of their games to the players, and also money for the online servers...)
So..¿Why Nintendo no?...
Besides, maybe for those childs and people who weren´t on the time of the firsts two of the Mario&Luigi games in order to play them, they´ll have a chance.
