The problem with the Smash example is that if they make a remaster, when would it be fitting to make a new title and not have player burnout? I felt this risk with Mario Kart 8 Delux. When will I feel like I need a new Mario Kart? Maybe at the end of the generation... the worst time to release a Mario Kart title. I would rather a new Smash and a new Mario Kart than remakes that risk me burning out on the series before the new title arrives. Especially when games like Mario Strikers exists and had no new title during the last generation. Getting games like that out and new versions of Mario Kart and Smash would be much better than remakes of Mario Kart and Smash. I know what Nintendo did with Mario Kart was smart from a business standpoint, but I hope future portbegging and ports slow down significantly.

Smash was also ported to 3DS which makes the second half of your argument a moot point.

My problem with Smash having a new game instead of a port is simply because of all the work they'd have to do again, seeing as every new Smash changes the moveset of each character (Even if it's slightly) and all. It's obviously feasible, but I think it would take at least 2-3 years for that to come out. The best option imo is to make a new game, but using the last one as a base instead of starting from scratch again, that way it would come out faster. I certainly agree with Mario Kart though, I'd rather have a new one instead of MK8 Deluxe, but I understand why they did that (And the MK team was/is busy making ARMS, so that could be a reason for them to hold out on a new game). Also, I don't get the franchise fatigue bit because at least for me, I'm not going to buy a game that I already played to death again, so I can just ignore MK8 Deluxe and wait for the next game.
