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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
