Wow. That would be pretty awful. Pretty sure nobody just wants Nintendo to re-release the same games each gen with shinier graphics. Perfect way to kill off Nintendo's business. Also Nintendo's sports games on Switch were pretty lackluster efforts so that'd be even worse for that particular group of games. Strikers, Switch Sports, Golf, Aces were all pretty much low-content low-effort affairs that had to get a bunch of stuff added post-release and still were disappointing. Their sports games this gen were the one area where they clearly put in much less effort than normal. Last thing Nintendo needs next gen is to be like hey consumers remember when we gave you these low-effort games last gen, well this gen we won't even bother with that we're just gonna throw out these same games at you and call it a day. lol. As always, Nintendo makes new games each gen. People need to stop getting confused by the fact that Nintendo resurrected WiiU's dead titles from the dead-on-arrival system for a second chance at life on the Switch. That was a unique scenario. One that is very very different than the Switch-to-Switch2 situation. No reason to expect Switch games to get re-released next gen, especially if backwards compatible people will already be able to play these games on next gen system. Like, there might be A game, or two, that gets a re-release. Possible they do something with the Zeldas just considering we aren't gonna be getting another 3D Zelda until end of next gen, though just making WW and TP available and doing a new 2D Zelda I think would be good enough since both open world Zeldas will be playable through bc. I could see Nintendo maybe re-marketing Switch games, like putting them out as "Classic Switch" games or something to re-market them next gen, but Nintendo just rehashing original Switch games next gen instead of making new ones or so they can delay making new ones as everyone seems to think will happen is just not a thing. |
I’m not saying just do a straight up port but to have improvements and add things, similar to the difference between MK8 & MK8 Deluxe. It included all the previous updates/DLC and added battle modes, new characters, new karts, new items, dual items, smart steering, auto accelerate, super drift, along with improved performance/visuals.
Just look at a company like Camelot who makes the Mario Tennis & Golf games, you are already saying that their Switch entries were low-content/low-effort despite having longer development times than previous entries.
Looking at their release history, you can see that their output has gradually decreased each generation, from 2 games per year then 1 game per year then 1 game every 2 years and now 1 game every 3 years. Is it going to become 1 game every 4 years next generation and people still complain that they lack content?
I say release updated ports with more content similar to MK8D, that allows them to get games out quicker without having to worry about lack of content and gives them a chance to work on something other than just Mario Tennis/Golf, whether that’s a return to Golden Sun (dormant since 2010) or a different Mario sport like baseball (dormant since 2008) or make something completely new.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
