As anticipation for Nintendo’s next-generation console, the Wii U, continues to mount, there’s plenty to wonder about its new functionality and how new gestures and playing experiences will change gameplay. And, since the new Wii U gamepad comes fully equipped with stylus functionality, an orienting gyroscope and touch capabilities, there are many enriching ways to enjoy your Mario session.
Of course, there are some classic games in Nintendo’s archives that could also really benefit from the Wii U’s new tricks. And, given the extensive library of old games Nintendo has brought back through the Wii console, perhaps it isn’t too farfetched to dream about a reboot.
Here are 10 games from Nintendo’s repertoire that could be truly amazing with a revamped Wii U experience. A handheld X-Ray Scope for Super Metroid? Awesome. A place to put that dumb fairy Navi in Ocarina of Time? Don’t mind if I do. There are plenty of innovative ways the Wii U can reshape these games, and it’ll get you pumped for the console’s release.
