So replay them on the original console? Or request access to the original copy digitally?Cause fun games are worth replaying.
Yeah people complain about ports of old games, but having the Resident Evil series in portable form for the first time is a wonder. And some that weren't on a Nintendo system before, they see it as an insult or whateverPlaying classic console games, but now on a portable system is a huge benefit of the Switch.
Pokemon is JRPGNintendo's key franchises are:
Mario - platformer
Zelda - action RPG
Mario Kart - racing
Metroid - shooter
Smash Bro - fighting
Pokemon - collectible game
They actually cover a wide range of genres.
The reaosn why they rehash the same games is because they sell a ton and they skew to a family friendly image. Even if the dev team wants to branch out and make a Destiny or COD or GT/Forza racer they cant since it goes against the image. An image where probably half the first party games have Mario on the cover too.
Bro PS3 fans where drooling over a trailer of FF7 for 10 years and then it became one of PS4s biggest sellers last year.It is mostly just Nintendo.
Yes Sony and Microsoft do this as well but their fans often don't treat it as the next coming of christ when it gets announced.
Have you ever seen a port of a Ps3 game appear on PS4 and get any attention from fans?
Well first of all the concept of releasing a game from the previous generation completely unchanged for new hardware is exclusively a Nintendo thing but even if someone on Playstation did it... they'd be laughed out of it.
Also on GTA V: Was there any fans asking for this? I'm sure there was but nothing compared to:
"Metroid Prime Trilogy"
or
"Remake Zelda Oracle of seasons/ages"
or
"Remake Ocarina of time"
Also GTAV will be a free update as far as I'm aware, something Nintendo doesn't know the meaning of.
Also bought TLOU again like a year after the original release lol.Bro PS3 fans where drooling over a trailer of FF7 for 10 years and then it became one of PS4s biggest sellers last year.
Well then, maybe it’s because none of their games stand the test of time from a design standpoint?Yes Sony and Microsoft do this as well but their fans often don't treat it as the next coming of christ when it gets announced.

The 3DS one is an enhanced port, not a remake. It was done very well. I find myself preferring the Gamecube Version since it's what I grew up on and it's 480p.Hard to go back to N64 OoT. On 3DS it's lovely. Technically it was outdated the day it released but the enhanced graphics are cute and the framerate far more playable so, I know I'll be emulating that for decades if it's never again remade, but never go back to the N64 (or its 1:1 ports). But once again, the OP lumps together remasters and ports too, both of which won't age worse than the original (unless the remaster somehow botched some aspect of course, but usually they don't, they just increase resolution and maybe fix up some textures etc., remakes are more prone to problems).
PS5 launched with a glorified port/remake. It's all the craze these days. Publishers love it because the risk is super low for established successful gamesA bit of a history about myself:
I'm what you might call a jaded Nintendo fan, bought the Switch and had 2 good years with it maybe 3. The last big game I bought for it was Animal Crossing New Horizons and will generally support Nintendo whenever I feel they put out a game with geniune effort put into it. I believe I also bought luigi's mansion 3 that year as well.
To clarify, I still think the Switch is a great system and on its own - exclusive software will still go down as a great system to me.
BUT
One thing that's really annoyed me lately about Nintendo fans though is the constant call for remakes and ports. It seems to have become really bad over the past 4 or so years. I don't see this with Xbox, Playstation or PC gamers at all. Or not nearly as much.
It isn't just reddit posts or fan posts either it's the Nintendo channels salivating over the idea that we could get a Metroid Prime Trilogy HD or we could have a remake of this or a port of this or that. I find it really embarassing.
I think Nintendo is going to have to change their strategy for their next console because chances are it will be backward compatible with the Switch and even if it wasn't, you cannot use the "give this game a second chance" argument because the Switch was a success unlike the WiiU.
My point is Nintendo fans should reasonably expect or demand new games but the fanbase is so beaten down over the years that a remake is better than nothing. I hope this changes in the coming years because it's getting difficult to be interested in Nintendo news these days.
Anyone else feel the same?
Well, Resident Evil has been on portable PlayStation consoles for a while, but I get what you're saying.Yeah people complain about ports of old games, but having the Resident Evil series in portable form for the first time is a wonder. And some that weren't on a Nintendo system before, they see it as an insult or whatever

Well keep buying games you already owned once thenWhy do gamers want the better best version of their favorite games?
hmm gee that's a good question.
absolutely no idea why I would want a superior version of my favorite game made even better.
completely stumped.
So just buy new games and stop whining about what other people buy.Well keep buying games you already owned once then
Let me say this,
Nintendo does create sequels a lot to existing franchise and I have no issues with that at all anymore. At least it's a new game, new story, new concept whatever.
I actually used to give out about them not creating more new IPs like they did in the N64 or Snes times but boy has the bar been LOWERED.
I had no idea they would end up actually releasing the SAME games again and again on mainline consoles.
Even the Wii with all it's complaints of Shovelware didn't have THAT many Gamecube ports. Probably about 4 or 5 and they were budget releases.
When you get a game like 'Link's awakening: Remake' where I mean really? - You could have just made a brand new 2D Zelda game with those graphics. But instead they basically rereleased an old Gameboy game, updated the graphics and added nothing extra and arguably in some places made it worse and slapped a full price on it. The game is still only like 8 hours long which is not good value.
The sad thing is this is about the most effort they put into these remakes these days.
I'm actually glad they have almost run out of WiiU games to port over to the Switch. They've nearly done them all!!
Guys Nintendo is selling a lot of Switches and making a LOT of money. They shoudl have the ability to give you a Breath of the Wild/Mario Odyseey level game at least once a year. No excuses.
On the remakes I do agree with you, would have much preferred a top down Zelda.Well keep buying games you already owned once then

I mean in regards to the Wii having many ports from the previous console.On the remakes I do agree with you, would have much preferred a top down Zelda.
Not sure what you mean about GameCube ports though, Switch has hardly any of them so far.
They are conditioned to play the same games for over 30 years.
I'm seeing this response a lot in this thread.We don't. At least, I don't. Nintendo has lately been remaking more games because many people never owned a Wii U but do have a Switch.
I'm not going to feel bad for wanting more original games..So just buy new games and stop whining about what other people buy.
You do know most remakes and remasters are done 3rd party, right?
You'll just have to cope knowing more people are in favor of what you're against.
You were probably excited for Demon's Souls remake anyways.
That's the difference between SD development and HD development. Ports and remasters are a lot more attractive to publishers now that games take longer to make.I mean in regards to the Wii having many ports from the previous console.
Remember the Wii was very similarly powered to the Gamecube and the Gamecube was considered a console not many people owned like the WiiU but yet they resisted the temptation to rerelease every single Gamecube game.
They made a NEW Mario Kart
A New Zelda (Eventually)
A New Metroid
etc
I know they released Metroid Prime Trilogy and games like Pikmin 2 and Mario Power Tennis but they were budget games and very obviously advertised as such.
Why do gamers want the better best version of their favorite games?
hmm gee that's a good question.
absolutely no idea why I would want a superior version of my favorite game made even better.

One reason they might not have owned the system the game was on. I never owned a Wii and a Wii U but i own a Switch. So i missed a lot the Wii U games, so the ports gives me a chance to play them without having to go out and buy the older system. Some people might have sold the older system to buy the new one so they miss the older games. Some may want remasters of old games with updates, like how they want remasters of other games. So it is not just not Nintendo, People like the familiar. I mean if Nintendo didn't release some of the character games, then people would be asking for them. Look how many people want an F Zero or Metroid game. I myself I am happy with the switch and have bought enjoyed many games many on GAF calls port. They were new to me.A bit of a history about myself:

I must have imagine all the gamers asking for new games
There has to be someone out there willing to do this port, right? I know the game flopped, but, come on, it was just too good even with the wonky controls not to get a second chance at life (which hopefully sparks a sequel).Because Kid Icarus Uprising deserves far better than being locked to the 3DS
But Sakurai's hands are tied as long as Nintendo's even more rabbid fans wants him to waste all his time tarnishing the legacy of Smash Bros.
It didn't flop. It did alright. Would have done much better now because it was released right before the explosion of social media and Nintendo's partnerships with youtubers for promotion. It did have a resurgence in sale because of this and because the most popular 'let's play' channel on youtube did a playthrough (chuggaaconroy). But it deserves so much more than to rot on that outdated screen for all eternity.There has to be someone out there willing to do this port, right?
