Remakes are just going to become a bigger staple of many publishers forward catalog most likely ... it simply takes too long to make new games today from scratch. You're talking like 6-10 years in many cases.

Yes in the past Nintendo didn't lean on this as much because they could just make a new franchise installment of anything they wanted in 2-4 years usually, but that isn't the case any more.

And these older games ... they're still fun to play at their core, it's just new generations of players aren't likely to go back to the N64 or even PS2 era or whatever these days. Having a modern remake makes those games much more accessible. 

I think it's a very fair endeavour for this reason.

This isn't a Disney live action situation where they're just doing something because they can. A lot of Pre-2013 games genuinely will be difficult for modern/young audiences to appreciate with aged technology/standards of the time effecting their time.

I don't want new experiences being stolen from us but I low-key think every major classic prior to the PS3 gen can probably do with a remake. It should ideally be a second arm of the industry and help offset a lot of the closures and falling demand. I would love a teen today to experience ocarina of time and FFX as I experience them back in 1998/2002
