7 Games Nintendo Should Remake For The Switch

Nintendo's new console, a hybrid of a handheld and stationary console called the Nintendo Switch is coming out this week and people are pumped. Preorders have sold out throughout all major retailers and videos of people unboxing the console have racked up over one million views.

The game list is still building and expanding everyday, but there have been some announcements that have gotten the public excited -- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Splatoon 2 and Super Mario Odyssey, to name a few.

While these games will not disappoint die hard Nintendo fans, I think the company could stand to bring back some old fan favorites. Here is my list of the top seven games Nintendo should remake and remaster for the Nintendo Switch.

1. Paper Mario

I'm talking genuine, authentic Paper Mario -- not any of this Color Splash or Sticker Star baloney. A new Paper Mario game that was similar to the original, or The Thousand Year Door would make many fans (including myself) super happy. Paper Mario had lots of charm, a great story line and awesome side kicks to fight along. Nintendo needs to bring back this game, ASAP.

2. Pokémon Stadium

IMO, Pokémon is having a huge revival. Not that Pokémon ever really got unpopular, but people seem to be buying the new games, downloading apps and getting more merch then they have in years previously. I still play Pokémon Stadium on a regular basis when I see my friends and someone breaks out their N64. The game (and minigames!) still stand the test of time -- I would happily play a remake of this game, with all the new Pokémon included!

3. Mario Kart: Double Dash

I know what you're saying,"but Nicole, Mario Kart 8: Deluxe is coming out for the Nintendo Switch, we have a Mario Kart game!" I hear what you're saying and Mario Kart 8 is an awesome game, but Double Dash is something special. The combo of characters, the double karts, the double special items -- that game was really something great and I think it deserves a second chance! Plus, imagine the online play.

4. Animal Crossing

I think by now everyone knows by now my absolute love of the Animal Crossing series. The update for the 3DS version was awesome and well needed, but I'm always looking for a new game with a new spin for a new system. There could be some cool new control options with the Nintendo Switch. I'd even be happy with a spin off game, something like Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival. The more games, the merrier!

5. Luigi's Mansion

This game was honestly one of the most fun Nintendo games I've ever experienced, and to be honest with you, I never even really played it that much -- I watched my brother play it tons and I had a blast just watching it like it was a movie. The quirky little scientist, all the ghosts and Luigi's constant antics make this game extremely rememberable and fun. I would place money on Nintendo fans going cray for a remake of this game.

6. Super Mario Sunshine

Okay, I'm going to be honest -- this game is the shit. The game follows Mario, Princess Peach and a handful of toads on a vacation when disaster strikes, and the island they're on becomes covered in sludge. Mario comes in and saves the day by completing various missions to help restore the island. This game is similar to Mario 64 in the best way possible and another game like this would be appreciated across the entire fan base.

7. Mario Party

I'm talking OG Mario Party -- like Mario Party 2 kind of game. The most recent Mario Party game changed some of the best parts, IMO. The gameplay includes all four players traveling in one cart, instead of each player moving individually. There is still minigames, but there are no stars anymore. The plot of the OG Mario Party was simple and perfect -- get the most stars, win the most minigames and you win. Bring back a game like that and I'll be one happy fan.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
