Nintendo hasn't mentioned anything about a new or remastered Wave Race game. Wave Race 64 is available on the Wii U eShop for $9.99; the 2001 sequel, Wave Race: Blue Storm, remains stranded on GameCube.
Wave Race originated on Game Boy in 1992. It's one of many long-dormant franchises that Nintendo could be reawakening for the release of its Switch console/handheld hybrid next March.
