"  Nintendo insider Emily Rogers says that they aren’t direct sequels and are instead enhanced ports for the system with presumably some new features."

         Nothing surprising here. I wonder what other improvements there might be in the enhanced version of MK8, a decent Battle Mode would be pretty great! Even more characters would be cool, I really miss Dry Bones!

Figured as much from the trailer. And Zelda was obvious and stated by Nintendo a while ago I believe.

Yes, Splatoon, Mario Kart, Zelda and Smash. Great for people who didnt had Wii U.

MK9 with TWO items at once!!! Can' wait...

Meh, I hate companies ditching BC and then making you buy games less than 5 years old and slightly upgraded. They better not be more than like 30 bucks.

This is a given. Nintendo put a lot of development money in those games and needs to recuperate those costs since it was a bit wasted on the WiiU.

A Mariomaker port is coming also.

There are dozens of us, dozens! 

Wasted? They say that the massive, big team, several years in development Zelda BOTW needs to sell 2 million to make a profit. Imagine how much profit Splatoon, MK8 and Mario Maker made with between 3-6 million sold each...

There's oppurtunity cost too, I'm sure there are suits at Nintendo who feel all those games should've sold 2-4 million more copies.
