Man, I'm really starting to think I need a Wii. All the good remakes are going to Wii: Contra, A Boy and his Blob, Punch-Out!!, Resident Evil, Zelda Ocarina of Time, Klonoa, Silent Hill... then there's the sequels Mega Man 9, Sin and Punishment 2, Muramasa: Demon Blade. The Wii is becoming the nostalgia system of choice.

this looks as if it could be a direct sequel to the Super Nintendo's Contra III.
So what does that make Contra 4? Idiot blogger already forgot, I guess.

I dont think there's an Ocarina remake. I think that Ocarina just came to VC. Right?

It might just be a rumor, but I've seen a few websites mention it. Plus there is this set of texture comparisons between the original and the high def:

The texture comparison is from a texture replacement project that's been going on for a while. I'm not sure if it's complete, but it just replaces the textures in the original 64 game, it's not a remake
