| Mummelmann said: I could have sworn that Nintendo fans spent the past 2-3 years raging on about how remakes are a total cop-out and meaningless software, yet this is what Iwata wants to help the 3DS keep relevance in the market? I am honestly shocked to my core at how poor Nintendo have been at learning from their mistakes and reading markets since 2010-2011, I believe they need fresh blood at the helm and they need to allocate more influence and decision making in the West if they want to cause ripples in the industry from here on out. Also; no N3DS for Western markets, say hello to massive global declines yoy... And he somehow expects profits to increase using these methods. |
My guess is Nintendo's "big gun" internal teams are tied up working on launch/1st year software for the 3DS successor as we speak.
As such they probably figure back stuffing the 3DS with remakes and smartphone game ports is a cheap/low resource way to keep releases coming to the system through 2015 and into 2016. Like the Xenoblade port for 3DS isn't even done by any of Nintendo's Japanese teams, it was farmed out to Monster Games. Stuff like that.
Maybe we'll get like a Mario Galaxy port or Mario 64/Sunshine remakes for the 3DS or something.
