Notice how I said "were new to consoles."


Well Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong jr. and Mario Bros. werent new to consoles. They were on the Atari 2600 and several other consoles before the NES.


None of those were "major" first part NES titles. I'm talking SMB,Zelda,Metroid,Kirby etc. I don't remember the SNES launching with a remake of SMB3. I don't remember PS1 launching with a remake of FF2. I don't recall the PS2 launching with a remake of Syphon Filter or MGS. 

Things have changed. In the first calender year of the Wii-U, we had a Wind Waker port. In the first calender year of the PS4, we have TLOU. In the first calender year of the Xbone, we have Halo 1,2,3 and 4. It's so bad, twitter was a shit storm after E3 because nowadays, it's like, take an old game, shine it up and profit. Kids these days actually WANT remakes instead of original games. If you polled the 18-23 demograph (atleast the ones who know their games) and asked them if they'd like a MM HD remake with achievements or the new Zelda, MM would win by a landslide.

Maybe some of this has to do with the fact that they never played those games but those of us old enough to have had the good fortune, it's like, come on. The game industry is slowly turning in the movie industry with all these remakes.
