Bah, why remake the N64/Gamecube game? Everyone complained when City Folk turned out to be a high res version of Wild World. I can't imagine the rage that the fandom would have if we were given a remake of an even older game with features slapped on from the newer, better titles. A bunch of hypocrites you people are.
Anyway, here's what I would want to see in the next, hopefully HD installment of one of my favorite franchises.
Basics
-High definition textures and models.
-Different camera views; 3rd person w/ rotatable camera, overhead similar to the original game and a first person mode to look at bugs and fish as well as items in your own home and just the game world in general up close.
-Free and Premium Downloadable Content. 100 points for single pieces of furniture and 500 for complete sets, as well as the occasional free delivery to your house like we have it now.
-A store in the city that when you enter, your wallet changes from your in-game bells to your wii points. A new NPC would be standing idly by that when you talk to him/her, they will give you a list of currently available DLC. When selected, the room would flip around revealing the item(s) and/or furniture theme. From there you select the item that you want and purchase it with your Wii points.
-No friend codes.
-The ability to take pictures from your SD card and convert them to patterns via Able's shop.
-NEW soundtrack similar to the Gamecube's soundtrack.
Weather
There needs to be some new weather types instead of just the normal rain and snow that we have now.
Basic
-Wind, the game needs something to give it a more alive feeling. Wind could pick up several minutes before a weather event. The sound of the leaves could be heard rustling, or in the Autumn, falling from the trees. Flying bugs, especially those that are lightning fast such as the Banded Dragonflys and Giant Petaltails would be easier to catch.
Rain
-Drizzle, BGM remains the same. Only a few drops can be seen falling.
-Rain, BGM changes to a new rainy day theme. Rare fish appear.
-Heavy Rain, BGM changes to a new rainy day theme. Rarer fish are more abundant. [Rare Occurrence, only in the Summer]
-Thunderstorm, BGM cuts off completely. Only the sound of heavy rain, wind and thunder can be heard. No fish or bugs will appear during this time.
With the rainy weather, you can see dark clouds approaching, giving those without a TV the chance to predict the next hours(or days weather, depending on how fast the clouds in the distance are moving) T-Storms would feature lighting and distant thunder for added effect.
Snow
-Flurries, light snow, BGM remains the same.
-Snow, your basic snowfall amount. BGM remains the same and rare fish begin to appear.
-Heavy Snow, BGM changes to a new tune that's slower and wintery. Fog sets in to reduce visibility. Rare fish appear more often. [Only occurs after December 11th and before February 25th]
Bugs
-A greater number would be great, maybe 100 or so.
-The sneaking around would return from the Gamecube title.
Fish
-Greater amount of Fish, some that could only be caught in the city.
-A deeper fishing system, something that requires more than just pushing the A button.
The City
-The Roost would have its own building in the city, requiring you to go into the city on Saturdays to see K.K.
-Redd's black market would actually be down a dark alley way now.
-A new carnival area that works both online and off would be added to play motion controlled mini games by yourself or with friends. Up to 8 friends could connect and play together here to compete for a rare Carnival furniture theme or just your basic prizes. Would support Wiispeak.
-A new, rare, musician would sometimes appear on Saturday nights with a sound that differs from K.K's, making K.K. a customer at the Roost, whom would be sitting at the bar rather than performing.
-Katrina's tent would return on the carnival grounds.
Town
-4 playable residents as usual.
-Houses could be upgraded to the size of the home in Wild World, with a basement.
-No save room.
-Larger town.
-Up to 15 neighbors.
-A festival square for events like Bunny Day and Thanksgiving to be held.
-The Acorn and Flower festival from Wild World would return to join the Gamecube and City Folk events.
-An advanced pattern maker with a color picker and the ability to create your own pallets.
-The option to connect to a online database where players upload their patterns for others to download from right within Able's shop.
