Poor list including so many copy and paste series as well as re-releases, tweaked or not.


How many system launches aren't full of those? Seriously, your statement is redundant, and makes you look like you're fishing for something to complain about.

And the OP really needs to be fixed. Mario Kart is #1, not GTA V (which hasn't been announced at all). The most GTA announced for the 3DS is Saints Row, not that it's a bad thing, as SR2 is one of my favorite games.

what system launches are you referring to?  I'm trying to think of a system that even had one game that was a re-release of an older game and I can't think of a single one.  

That only proves you don't know any, not that there weren't any.

Most of the Golden Age systems launched with a port of an arcade game.

The NES launched with a port of Donkey Kong (both in the US and Japan), and some of the other games were arcade ports.

Sega Master System launched with a port of Hang-On (not sure about the other games).

Genesis launched with ports of Altered Beast and Gouls & Ghosts.

Now the SNES didn't immediately launch with older games, but the first few months saw ports of R-Type II (as Super R-Type), Final Fight, Graduis III, and others.

Sega Saturn with a port of Virtua Fighter.

PS1 with a port of Ridge Racer (not sure about the other games).

Dreamcast with a least a port of House of the Dead 2.

PS2 with at least ports of Dead or Alive 2, Street Fighter EX3, and Tekken Tag Tournament could count as an enhanced remake of Takken 3.

Gamecube with at least ports of Crazy Taxi and Super Monkey Ball.

Xbox with an enhanced port of Tony Hawk 2.

Xbox 360 might, but I'm not sure about the games. Xbox Live Arcade on the system launched with Joust, Gauntlet, and Bejeweled 2.

PS3 and Wii seemed to lack these as well (unless you count the PSN and Virtual Console launches), but the arcades were fading by then anyway.

But the 3DS is a handheld, and if you follow handhelds, this still applies to them.

Just see the information here. Edit: Ninja'd by rubang above.

yeah, rubang made a better argument, I'm not really talking ports, I'm talking remakes of older games, not contemporary arcade games or games for other systems at the time, that just means the game is going muliplatform. 


If you mean remakes, there are a grand total of TWO (MGS3 is just going to be a port). So your comment still falls flat, as it's assuming a greater number of those game than usual.

Besides, you're calling enhanced remakes a bad thing? Last I checked, those were considered better than a port.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
