| curl-6 said: This month's Starfox remake most likely exists to ascertain whether there is actually an audience for the IP any more (something that hasn't been clearly demonstrated since the 90s) without risking the amount of money it would cost to build an all new one. |
Methinks Nintendo likely already has a game deep in development judging off precedent (e.g. Famicon Detective Club, Metroid Prime Remastered, Metroid Samus Returns) as well that they’ve already gone so far out of their way as to create such a graphically demanding remake (well… graphically demanding as far as my eyes can see). Doesn’t seem like a cheap throw away, but an appetizer at something much bigger coming.
My guess is Nintendo is using this remake to prime Stat Fox for a strong return once his new entry drops.
