Fatal Frame remaster is not worth it, just look at how NOA treated the latest release.

A simple digital VC release would do. GC and Wii should be emulated for their next gen systems.

Then you'd get more of these Japanese Wii games! I'd love to try PZ4, Takt of Magic and Zangeki no Reginleiv in all its 480p glory.

Would be kind of cool if Nintendo asked the fan-translators, if they could put their translated version on VC ... This would solve the language problem, but the bugs would still be in the game.

 

Oh, the legal fights would be amazing. And blocked for various reasons. The most obious one: Who gets credit? "I translated this section. No I did!"

So people complain about the droughts but why is it so hard to release more games for Nintendo? They could easily remaster some games, espacially games who were never localized like Fatal frame 4. This game could be an entirley new game for the West and it would cost next to nothing porting it over to the Wii U, the Wii and Wii U have the same architecture after all.

Sony is pumping out one remaster after another to hold people over to Uncharted 4 which is a smart move. You would think Nintendo would do the same since its so easy to port Wii games to the Wii U but they dont.

tell me what you think

here is why:

Nintendo: 5100 Employers. Handeling 2 hardware system (handheld and home console) + several software for each.

Sony: 131k employers, handeling all kind of stuff (so bad comparison)

but

EA: 9300 emloyers, handeling no hardware, mainly just software for 3 very similar system (pc, xbone, ps4).

 

Nintendo dont have enough employers to handle those projects. They are still in the SD era.

Remaster are too expensive for Nintendo considering how they will sell on Wii U.

Reamasters cost around few millions, I can't see cost more than around $10m, and Nintendo sold more than 1.6m copies of Zelda WW HD on Wii U and they basicly neded to sell only around 200k copies of game in order to make profit.

Wii U has Wii BC, so basically you can already play all Wii games on Wii U. Also Nintendo doesnt like to remaster/remake game from previous gen, TP is only example but that technically is GC game.

Saying that, Nintendo could HD Remaster more GC games this gen and not just Zelda WW, but I am sure we will have far more GC/WW HD Remasters on NX.


I made thread about possible Remasters for NX.
