Very random topic, huh? Anyway, I just saw Nostalgic Critic's review of this awful show. Then I thought to myself: how would I remake the show to what I would've wanted it to be? I thought it would've been cool to have a next generation version of the show, while retconing some of the old show's content (The horrible designs of the characters, backstories, etc). What are your thoughts?

Depends mostly on how accurate you wanna make the characters.

Here are some of my ideas for a Next Gen version of the show:
The Video Game Master
A Reboot / continuation of Captain N the Game Master
1st episode Synopolis: A 13 yr. old kid named Jason Walker is a video game prodigy. He is also an unpopular Nobody. He gets picked on at school because he is a big nerdy loser. But when he is transported into The Video Game Multi-verse, his life takes a different turn. Venture into the Video Game Multi-verse with familiar and New faces! Learned what happened to the last Game Master and who is set to take his place!
The 1st season is all about the main character's first adventures in the Video Game Multi-verse. In this season, Jason's friend and crush, Kate Steward, is revealed to have a big role. This season will be hyping up the attack on video game City, which would be the season finale. The season finale would have a major character death, in which the character would be revealed to be alive by the end of the 2nd season.
The 2nd Season would be about the main character's insecurities of putting people in the line of danger. An unknown someone, a woman like figure who was hired by Queen Launa, spies on Jason and keeps an eye on him for his safety.
The 3rd Season will be about The Team being put against an unstoppable great evil. And Jason will go as far as do the unthinkable to save the one person he loves, but will he get himself killed in the process?

I think the reason behind twisting the personalities was to keep all the heroes from being a massive force of genuinely good characters with great morals on a quest to wipe out evil. Which in it's sel is an ok idea. It wasn't implemented well.

This is not a bad idea. The core problem comes (like from above) who would be the characters he deals with and how true to the games would they be. On top of that which "version" would he deal with? Since we all know OOT, WW, TP, and SS are all different Links. Maybe Mario is always Mario but that's not true for everyone.

In my reboot/ continuation, the team doesn't contain video game characters. Instead they consist of a human cast of characters (Jason's friends) that cover a different genre of video games. For example, Jason's arsenal would contain stuff from retro games: Like the power glove and NES zapper. As you can tell, i'm working on it.

Makes sense to me.
For curiosity's sake though, wouldn't it be missing something if it doesn't use the videogame characters?

There will be times when an adventure involves a video game character in need of help and the team goes inside the game. There will also be nods to video game's past as well. In fact, I'm thinking about having a special story that involves the war between SEGA & Nintendo in the 90s...

I was confused there for a minute, I thought you meant to exclude the game characters.

I'd be tempted to make a lot of social commentary about Video Games as an art form and the positive and negative impact on society. Give the characters flaws that mirror with their gaming genres, personalities, and backgrounds and try to make a statement about how video games effect these characters lives for better...and for the worse. Be honest, be consise, and have characters confront their personal demons throughout the conflict. Internal characterization will always be more riviting than a meaningless fight with some goofy villan like mother brain. You could make N's flaw escapism...he hates his real life and looses himself in games, yet he realizes when he's "not in Kansas anymore" how important his family is and how he need to face the challanges of the real world and live his life beyond the screen, yet ironically he finds that power through this event.

While that's okay for characterization you could only do that with characters not from the games. Otherwise you've hit the same problem that the original show had with the game characters, Simon Belmont was lame, Mega Man was annoying, Kid Icarus was even more so, and so on.

Those are the heros of their respect areas and you deal with them accordingly depending to the realm, and narrative-arc of said realm, you are in. Jtresse wants to make a group of fighters that are from Earth hopscotching zones (think the episode with Link and Captain N) and intermingling with their problems. A good writer could then make those problems and the game-world problems parallel. Each realm could have some form of interdimension sabotage that's interfering with the original arc of the story that the Gamemasters have to clear up.

Remake it from the ground-up as Smash Bros: The Cartoon! Pit the goodguys against the badguys and give each side some wins and losses. And maybe have some characters be neutral, or even double-agents, or just outright mercenaries. Add in the occasional conflict of personalities within teammates...

Why hasnt Nintendo done this yet??
Some say that he knows 2 facts about ducks, and both of them are wrong. And that 61 years ago he accidentally introduced Her Majesty The Queen to a Greek racialist. All we know is, I'm going to the tower now to have my head cut off, and he is called The Stig.

Subspace could be an awesome anime if done right.

Probably the same reason EoT would be...It'd be too "intense" or some shallow demographic jazz like that. :/

The real reason is 'cause I'm more awesome than Nintendo. 
That and the fact that they'd have to actually give the characters speaking voices.

Thirding this.
Actually...some of the newer (if slightly goofy) peripherals for the newer Nintendo Systems could work well as gadgets for the new Cap. The Wii Zapper would definitely look badass as a weapon...a belt mounted 3DS could have similar functionality as the original belt mounted controller, and then detach to use as a communicator and PDA...and I could see Princess Lana using the WiiU controller as a personal computer of sorts.
Just...my opinion.
