They’ve been reselling people the same game on multiple VMs for years. They’ve been greedy for ages.
Comment on Scary indeed.

This is honestly really lame of Nintendo. Just re-mastering their old games like this.
They’re just exploiting older gamers’ nostalgia for profits. Everyone is doing that and I hate it. It’s a form of manipulation.

There’s a demo out for starfox. It’s definitely not just a remaster. I’d say I otherwise agree but I’d rather remakes than shitting out another title with BOTW jammed in for no good reason.

Yeah I’m waiting to see if it’s just a better looking Star Fox 64.
Star Fox has been ignored by Nintendo for far too long. It was one of my favourite games from the SNES and N64.

Give the demo a try if you can. It’s suuuper smooth, looks fantastic, they added a training course with in world connections, cutscenes tying courses together (they are skippable) which makes it feel much more interconnected and meaningful. There’s only 1 stage outside of training so we’ll see how much gameplay may or may not change, but they are adding some very nice polish. Also added mouse controls.

I don’t have a Switch 2 though. I don’t think I’ll be buying it. I already have a huge game collection, some of which I haven’t even played yet.

I think for a lot of people it is nostalgia, but for me personally oot feels like a really unique kind of game, the pacing the restricted-but-open feeling of the world, same with majora’s mask. The later games seem to be more lighthearted or larger worlds. I would prefer they just make a new game in that style over a remake though, since oot is fine as is and there’s already oot 3d…

I have no true evidence to back this up, just things I’ve personally noticed, I wonder if it has to do with the mentality of removing kids from the Internet, like, growing up, the only games I bought were ones that had recently game out, what I actively saw online, but if kids are being restricted, then they pivot to adults, which sequels tend to go poorly as the creators who made original games don’t often work on sequels anymore, whether corporate greed and profit chasing or burnout of devs, so they instead do remakes, nothing is substantially changed just graphics and what not, but there is less backlash from remakes then “faithless” sequels, not my word, just a trend word I see, so they just continue doing those, banking on nostalgia

Still better than just straight up selling the ROM of Pokémon Firered and Leafgreen for 20€, one for every language

That is up to The Pokémon Company.
