If Nintendo knows 5 million people minimum are going to buy a game, they will put it on the new system, to get people to buy the new system. The only reasons why they put Z:TP on both GCN and Wii, is because 1) GCN had a small user base, 2) Even Nintendo thought Wii would fail, and 3) they were very similar. 1) and 2) do not apply to the DS and DSi. |
It isn't impossible, but is it worth it? As much as I love Zelda or Mario, they can stratch me off the potential buyer's list if it means I need to upgrade the DSL to DSi. Not only that, I'll also be much more cautious of buying from Nintendo in the future. I could be alone on this, but I doubt it.
While the GCN and Wii are similar in graphical power, to my knowledge the DS & DSi are the same. The only extra gameplay related feature the DSi can really add is the use of a camera, and what good is that for traditional games? The GCN and Wii have completely different control schemes (which affect gameplay drastically), so the upgrade makes sense.
I feel it'd be similar if Sony released PSP-3000 only games, even though the only new addition is the mic (let's assume a mic couldn't be used otherwise). That would not sit well with current PSP users. If you're going to abandon your old userbase and force people to upgrade, it had better be for a good reason.
