I doubt it will hurt the systems image outside of a small, vocal group of forum goers. The vast majority of PS4/XBO games in the first year could be played on PS3/360, I dont really see how this is much different.

But a lot of those were cross gen games releasing around the same time. And the remasters they did make were all by diferent companies and spread quite a bit out. If this rumor is to be believed, Nintendo is just throwing them all out at the same time for some reason. Like Mario Kart 8 remake just makes no sense to me. Whats the points of it when you have had more than enough time to make a sequel.

In my opinion, its hard to market remasters. But its easy to build hype for new games. I totally agree with remastering these Wii U games to make money back. But they are doing to many of them so close together that it worries me the public might not see it as a positive.

It doesnt matter, the fact is that millions of people bought $400 consoles to play games they already had access to, most people arent going to complain that Nintendo is rereleasing some games from their worst selling console ever.

Some of these games I doubt will be marketed as remasters anyway. For example, Mario Kart probably wont be called Mario Kart 8: Slightly better edition, it will simply be called Mario Kart Switch so the average consumer will likely have no idea its a remaster.
