Nintendo to make "serious" 3DS titles

I like the idea of "more serious" games, but I must scoff ever so slightly at the idea as the same company looking to make "serious games" showed off two remakes of N64 games we've all played to death, as "3DS games."

Seriously.

They had me at "Kid Icarus," they lost me with "N64 remakes."

 

"We've all played to death" means only tiny portion of the 3DS buyers or even buyers of the N64 remakes. In reality, only few people under 20 have ever even seen these two games. Even most of those who call themselves as "serious gamers" have not played those 2 games.

Oh that's nonsense.  Maybe, maybe fewer "under 20 gamers" haven't played StarFox64, but the fact is, Nintendo released Ocarina of Time on the N64, on the GameCube twice, and downloadable on the Wii.  In fact, StarFox64 is on the Wii.  If there are people under 20 who are "serious gamers" (which I doubt anyone under 20 is since they're still kids) who haven't played Ocarina of Time or StarFox64--it's because they just don't want to.  It has nothing to do with availability of those games.  In reality, those games have been played to death.  Releasing them again will not instantly cause the games to reach new audiences.

It's just lazy fan service.  Kid Icarus, on the other hand, is welcome fan service.
