If this turns out to be true, then my fears became true: Nintendo never had a good/great 2018 planned.
Ports and remasters might work for some or even for some time, but after awhile, gamers want to see what's new, not old. Not to mention those who are on the fence and want to see more than ports that they once had interest in or can get them for way less money.
You don't keep interest or gain momentum with ports and more ports.
I really hope that, at least, some of those games end up being multiplats of the bigger Christmas games.
