2013 doesn't register as "old" in my brain, but maybe that could be cos I myself am getting old.

What's crazy is that all the remakes I reflect most fondly upon were released within a decade or so of the OG: Wind Waker HD (2003 v. 2013), Mario 64 DS (1996 v. 2004), Ocarina of Time 3D (1998 v. 2011), Majora's Mask 3D (2000 v. 2015).

...though to address the obvious: graphics aren't evolving quite like they used to. We've hit a point of highly diminished returns in comparison to the past. Not to say the tech behind gaming isn't getting better and better (honestly I quite prefer the jump from games running at 30fps 720p to 60/120fps 4k over the jump from 32-bit to 64-bit, or 64-bit to GCN), but it's getting better in less blatant ways.
