| RolStoppable said: There are two ways to go about analyses: One is emotional and based on one's personal feelings, the other one is about setting one's personal feelings aside and being as objective as possible. Here is how it works: 1. I have bought all Wii U games that I wanted to buy and I don't care enough about portability to double-dip, so I am not interested in ports of Wii U games on Switch. Tough luck for anyone who thinks differently. I agree with the OP. 2. There's no reason to worry about a lack of new games, because right now ARMS, Splatoon 2, Fire Emblem Warriors, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Super Mario Odyssey clearly outnumber the announced remasters (there are zero); only accounting for 2017 titles here, hence why Fire Emblem (also a new game) is omitted. Additionally, if the right games get selected for the remaster treatment (Mario Kart 8 is such a case), there will be a positive effect on Switch sales momentum which in turn increases third party support; this means that gamers who do not benefit directly from remasters should still embrace them because of the indirect benefits of a greater game library to choose from. Essentially, being against remasters under the current conditions where several new Nintendo games will release in 2017 alone doesn't only make you an elitist, it also makes you an idiot because ultimately you only hurt yourself. The Switch situation isn't anywhere close to the PS4 and XB1 situation where people were starving for new content in year 1. Things are looking very good for Nintendo fans, regardless of if they intend to buy remasters or not. |
Well, sorry for being an elitist idiot. I'm still kinda butthurt about the WIi U being so disrespected in the community. At least I can still be an elitist about owning one.
*Sigh* Some selected remasters aren't all that bad, I guess. And sales data proves your point, Rol. MK8D goes through the roof.
