I think the best generation of console was the sixth, I am aware that the Nintendo 64 from which I take my moniker is from the fifth generation. It is the sixth that really shines. The nintendo 64 generation was the one where 3D was more common place, but it was the sixth where graphics caught up. This allowed for more expansive and better looking 3D worlds. With the graphics looking today better than ever and the current generation being the remaster generation (seriously look at what has been remade for this generation of console alone!). I got thinking what games could do with today's graphics.

5. Banjo Kazooie/Tooie

Let's start with a classic that it's last incarnation has pretty much destroyed the franchise. For it's game play faults, Banjo Kazooie: nuts and bolts is a damn fine looking game. Banjo Kazooie with same graphics would look spectacular especially tick tock woods with large design and different seasons. Monster Mansion would be incredibly spooky and eerie. Banjo Kazooie's varied level design would benefit greatly from modern graphics and Banjo Tooie's larger world would seem more alive with out rares patented loading system. Though it was great for N64 that

sort of pop up though minimal as it is. Is very noticeable today!

4. Shadowman

While the N64 was definitely not light on mature content, it was on horror games and it was a relatively new genre as well. There had been horror games previously like alone in the dark, none had much scope to give the player chance to explore hell it self. Doom let you go there but you are to busy shooting it's denizens to really take in the atmosfear, Shadowman did. Those who have played it no exactly what I am talking about. Now imagine that world in the id tech 5 engine of the evil within. Brown trouser sales would increase ten fold.

3. Perfect Dark

Once again showing that rare knows how to maximize a consoles hardware for graphical purposes. The xbox 360's perfect dark zero looked really good. Perfect dark remade with frost bite engine from Battle field would make it look so cool the realistic aliens and sci fi setting to the guns. would be so cool. Even the main protagonist Joanna dark and the NPC's would make t his great game seem like it could really happen and the multiplayer would be used for many years to come and be an esport draw for many gamers.

2. Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

Back to a scary-ish game, well scary for a Zelda game. If Majora's mask was remastered in the resident evil V II graphics, I have no doubt we would have the very first M rated Zelda game. Majora's mask story and style would fit the engine well and my god it would be frightening!

1. Super Mario 64

First things first why hasn't this had a proper remaster yet? The father of the 3D platformer. The template that made a great Sponge bob game! The platformer that created the whole genre, Nintendo has enhanced every Zelda game up to and including Majora's mask for handheld. Mario has been left to the wayside. With Mario odyssey on switch looking fantastic, nintendo needs to create Super mario 64 with same look and graphics. Honestly Super mario 64 would be outstanding with Odyssey's graphics.
