You could of sworn a few Nintendo fans, like a few of every type of fans raging on remakes are a total cop out. No need to act like their the majority in this. (or only ones, just because ps4/x1 had a ton of them 1st year)

That said there's like what? 2 at most remakes/ports per year from Nintendo across from both their HH/HC. Another thing is the games they put out aren't just a year old port.

Anywayz, i personally dont really care as i dontlike remakes/ports in general and would rather thm spend their time on making new games.

I don't care all that much about remakes either, especially if it's the same game with only redone visuals, as opposed to a new game entirely with added mechanics etc. The reason I mentioned Nintendo fans is the massive storm of critique against games like "The Last of Us" remake and "Halo: Master Chief Collection" by Nintendo fans on this site, citing that "remakes are what are supposed to sell these consoles? The Wii U has all the best games and exclusives".

Regardless of whether or not they are year old ports; the fact still remains that Iwata seemingly thinks this will be sufficient for the 3DS this year, with it already looming over a very likely big decline yoy, especially since there won't be a N3DS in the West and no price cut. It's almost as if he doesn't care at all sometimes; not only have their ND's shifted focus back onto the 3DS again; but the main platform for their income will rely on semi-decent Japanese hardware sales and remakes to keep it afloat? It's a horrible, horrible plan at best.

Aren't we supposed to shy away from making such sweeping generalizations, especially moderators of all people? And I really don't get where this Nintendo fans don't like remakes talk comes from, we have been buying remakes/remasters/ports for decades. Super Mario Advance series, Mario 64 DS, Ocarina of Time 3D, New Play Control series, Star Fox 64 3D, Links Awakening DX, Link to the Past GBA, Donkey Kong Country GBA, Metroid Zero Mission, Wind Waker HD, DKC Returns 3D, the upcoming Majora's Mask 3D, Xenoblade 3D, Classic NES Series, hell the entire virtual console.
