I would say that it's more than likely, Mario being Nintendo's flagship franchise.

I can see them making a Mario Vs Donkey Kong on WiiWare.
Time is repeating itself. Why you say? Look at the Wii and NES and you'll know why.

Enhanced remakes, probably.

With the WiiConnect24, Mario vs. Donkey Kong is a no-brainer. Enhanced remakes with downloadable contant (free or not) would be awesome.

I'd like to see a graphically enhanced version of Donkey Kong Country or Super Mario RPG. Assuming they still have all their original source files, they could render them out at 24-bit and 480p. Too bad the Wii doesn't do HD, because HD versions would be even better.

Um have you seen the High-Def Mario thread?

Though those images are far larger than what would be used in HD resolution, and it looks like the graphics were retouched after resizing down to sprite size (something that should have been done in Mario vs. Donkey Kong).

I think they should make an updated version or Super Mario Land along with updated music, and release it for Wiiware.

Super Mario World with updated graphics and sounds would be freakin' awesome.

How about a "New Super Mario World" for the DS?

I really want to see Super Mario All Stars on the Virtual Console. Since the original NES versions are already on VC, Nintendo will probably not do it, right? Well, what if they made SMAS cost about 2100 Wii Points? It would make sense, because SMB, SMB2, SMB3, cost 500, plus the Lost Levels cost 600, so that would equal to 2100. I really hope Nintendo would consider this idea, because SMAS looks just plain awesome.

They would probably make it an even 2000 points as a marketing gimmick.

What if you could get your money back for those games after getting SMAS?

They shouldn't charge any more for it than a normal Snes game. If they did charge 2000 points or whatever, that would be like them charging $200 for it back in the day.

Except back then the individual games were for an obsolete/becoming-obsolete platform, whereas now the games are all on the same platform and the same footing. So even if it isn't up to 2000 Wii Points, I think a higher-than-regular price could be expected.

A cheap game that was a bundle of Wii Remote-specific mini games like what SPM had (or SM64DS and its touch screen games) would be a nice buy.

Also, what about my idea to put in the Super Mario Advance updates
or, the Satellaview stuff
to spice it up a little

Would that even be possible, considering that thousands, or millions of people bought the originals? Maybe they would even put up SMAS+SMW for an extra 500 or so Wii Points.

True. Not that many people own SMAS+SMW.

Not as many people know about All-Stars as opposed to the originals so people would get mad at paying for the reason as well as paying more in general.

Perhaps those who don't know what All-Stars is would do well to find out before buying it.

Maybe Nintendo will release the 4 (or 5) individual games from All Stars or SMAS+SMW as WiiWare, and have something to ask if you want to trade in the original for the AS version, does that make sense?

Or, Nintendo could just send a message to every Wii asking if you want to trade the games for All Stars...

Nah, I don't think Nintendo is that concerned about double-dipping.

There are already multiple versions of several games on WiiWare.

Anybody who's ever bought a Nintendo console probably has multiple versions of something.
