Tbone, be cool. This thread feels dangerous for you.

Maybe I've been lurking in the wrong threads, but I don't know where this idea that Nintendo fans hate remakes has come from. I was under the impression that the brunt of the criticisms against MCC came from it not functioning properly at launch, and that the circumstances around the "definitive editions" -- releasing just a year after the past-gen versions, sometimes after the publishers had specifically said they weren't looking into current-gen ports -- were the cause of derisive remarks.

I fail to see how Iwata's statement here makes Nintendo fans appear any more hypocritical than they already did, if indeed they did. Nintendo fans love remakes. They've bought Ocarina of Time and Star Fox 64 and Donkey Kong Country Returns and Wind Waker and Ruby/Sapphire and soon they'll buy Majora's Mask and Xenoblade. Iwata's comments change nothing.
