Nightdive Studios wants to remaster Nintendo games, but the Big N is “gun shy”

Nightdive Studios has been behind some top-tier ports and remasters over the years. Most recently, the company was behind PowerSlave Exhumed on Switch. Nightdive also brought a number of other games to the platform, including Quake, Turok 1 and 2, Shadowman Remastered, and more.
Nightdive hasn’t had the chance to remaster any games from Nintendo itself, but that hasn’t stopped the company from trying. CEO Stephen Kick actually revealed on Twitter a few days ago that it has talked with the Big N about the possibility. However, Nintendo “always get gun shy working with third-party developers even after Nightdive Studios
released the first N64 games on their platform.”
