Cross gen game
This anti-remake sentiment is kind of bullshit. I echoed it in the past because I tend to only want new experiences, but 2 things changed my mind. The first is I have kids and want them to play the old classic games. Emulation is a pain for them. Rereleased as emulated games is OK, but that is not always the best path. The second, is that I have played some of these remakes and they are a better version of the older games and they will be perfectly playable and good decades later. So why not do a good job at modernizing these great old games and make them easily accessible going forward?
As far as I am concerned, I love Fusion and Prime 2 mainly because they were pushing the series forward and introducing new features.
Sure. I get that. and I embrace a few (and want others......looking at you Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain)....but many are not needed (Last of Us Pt 1 and Pt2) and it seems that developer effort is often put on these remakes, remaster rather than new IP's. If there was a good balance from the AAA studios then I would be ok. But looking at the past few years and the upcoming year, pretty much 80% of all AAA games fall into a remake, remaster OR a sequel.
I forgot about that Puppeteer ripp-off game
. And YAY yet more Donkey Kong how original Nintendo.
Doesn't stop them being new games.I forgot about that Puppeteer ripp-off game
It's funny how Nintendo are so quick to call out SONY or XBox for being all about Halo Forza, GOW and GT.
When has Nintendo ever commented on Sony being about GOW and GT?
Bro….don’t get my hopes up like that.
It's been 8 months since the last first-party Direct, which in Direct terms is a very long gap. But since we are in a console transition phase, their schedule is a bit quiet and there's not a need for a Direct every 4-6 months, which is fair. But we are certainly due for one very, very soon. But the thing is, if we get one before June, we probably won't get another until September, which means no June Direct.
I'm upset they nerfed some bosses in the wii trilogy.
Wasn’t there talk by some leaker that Prime 2 and 3 were just going to be lazy up-rez jobs?

The supposed new games are:
- Fire Emblem 4 remake releasing in May
- Donkey Kong Country is getting a new game for its 30th anniversary
- Metroid Prime 2 Remastered
- Grezzo Remake of the Zelda Oracle Games
- That Good Feel game is getting localized
- Famicom Detective Club returns as Nintendo Detective Club. Five high school girls must solve vicious crimes that they are personally involved with.
It's great. The main issue with it is the emo Samus and some of the voice acting. If you can get past that the actual game is really good.
This makes the most sense, practically speaking and according to the rumors. But it was years ago now so who knows what Nintendo is planning at this point.
I would love the rumor to be wrong and have both be high quality remasters like Prime 1 was. Shit, I’d be okay with Prime 4 looking like Prime 1 Remastered. The game is gorgeous.
I don’t think precedent factors into it, much to be honest. I think it’s all about what are the resources currently available that we could devote to “_______ project”, and what can we put out to tide people over vs waiting years for a full remaster.
Imagine how it’ll look on next-gen Switch! Can’t wait
I played it on the Gamecube and I am proud to say I killed those bosses.. they were tough. Especially the semi last one, I think it was called the Emperor Ing, or something like that. I must have died a hundred times before beating it. But I did it.
