I'm talking about the new remake of OoT. I've been around to numerous fansites and what do I see? People praising this game. Praising this re-release of a game we all played almost 15 years ago. It's fairly graphically updated sure, but since when did we all turn into graphics whores?
Nintendo knows they can make huge cash cow ports instead of putting real innovation and effort towards making a new game. They know it. It's true, and it's all because of all the fanboys' nostalgia for their beloved games.
How many ports of OoT have there been already? Why do some of you back up this game, back up Nintendo's laziness, when we could be getting new adventures and new gameplay from Nintendo?
Nostalgia. Nostalgia. Nostalgia. Go around to any site and you'll see countless fanboys creaming their pants over this game due to nostalgia. Nintendo knows this, and that's why Nintendo can be lazy and give us a coughed up 15 year old game.
I will never support this type of developer behavior.
How does everyone else here at VGC feel about this kind of developer behavior? I know there are at least a few fans on here who are going crazy with anticipation over this remake of OoT, and I want to ask you, why should we be excited for this? If you're fan of OoT, haven't you played the game countless times already? Do you really want the same adventure, same gameplay that we have already been playing all these years? All because of slightly upgraded graphics? What else is there that I'm missing?
All I'm doing now is praying this isn't cutting at all into dev time for a real 3DS Zelda game - but I'm fairly sure it is. If someone can show me otherwise I would greatly appreciate it.

Ok, but why do you think people have such a passionate nostalgia for these types of games? Because they're REALLY good, better than many games today. I promise you people would not be nostalgic for a OOT remake if the original was terrible.

I agree completely with that and I understand that due to the quality of the original game and nostalgia, many gamers are overly pleased with this upgraded version of OoT. I just finished replaying OoT a few weeks ago. I love the game. But I don't want Nintendo putting so much effort into remaking it slightly upgraded when they could be doing something else with their resources and time.
But then we'll get into the debate of whether or not it is taking up a measurable amount of resources away from the real Zelda 3DS. And I've already gone through that with Khuutra.
At the end of the day, whether or not it is taking away from the Zelda 3DS resource-wise, I do whole-heartedly believe that it is making Nintendo wait longer to release the new Zelda 3DS game, for reasons I have stated in previous posts. That makes me sad. I want to see a new epic Zelda on this new next-generation Nintendo system. The Zelda series is my favorite series of all time.
But I won't get to see it for years most likely.
