Rumour: Could Nintendo be Remaking Super Mario 64 with Online and Dual GamePads?

A new rumour has started to do the internet rounds, suggesting possible Wii U Remakes for Nintendo 64 games.

Certainly one to be taken with a pinch of sault, however Paul Gale - someone known to concoct a fair rumours in the past - has suggested that Nintendo is working on a series called "reUmagined". These games would be spruced up versions of games like Super Mario 64 that would be intended to fill the gaps in the Wii U line-up.

The rumour states that games would take on a similar approach to The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD with visual upgrades and added content.

One of the titles, according to Gale, would be Super Mario 64 reUmagined. It would be remade in HD, with support for two players as Mario and Luigi at the same time, using a split between TV and GamePad screen to control both players. He also suggests that there would be support for multiple GamePads, with each player having a unique view on the GamePad until they come together on the same screen.

A more farfetched part of the rumour also suggests that there'll be online co-operative/counter-operative play, races and star collecting modes.

Finally, he also highlights potential other candidates for Wii U remake treatment:
