Oh, you mean the port that had a brand new Mario game that never released in the US up to that point? Is that the one you're referring to?

Honestly never expected this.

Tetris sold 5.5 million on NES and wasn't bundled IIRC, the Donkey Kong ports sold a combined 3.8 million...I wouldn't say "no one cared about those old games".

Yeah, you're right. I'm wrong. When people think NES, the next thing they think is Pac-Man. 

I don't think anyone is saying that, just that ports have been around for a long time is all. 

I never said they weren't. I said that back in the day when I was young, ports weren't focused on. They took a back seat. People didn't focus on them. None of my friends and I sat around, waiting for our Nintendo Power issues in the mail and hoping that they were going to announce that a port of Donkey Kong was coming out. We weren't calling out for them... and we just didn't care.

That's what I'm saying. Back then, they were an after thought. Now? They're front row and center. Hell, Nintendo dedicates entire fucking Directs to them. Entire threads are made daily with tons of people clamoring, begging for Wii U games to be ported. 

The number one selling game of the eighth gen is going to end up being a seventh gen game. I don't think I need to say more.

I dunno, a great game is a great game. Not everyone had a Wii U, so it makes sense to port them to the more popular Switch. Why would Nintendo not capitalize on that? They're in business to make money, it's not a passion project, investors want revenue and profits

Regarding what I think you're referring to, GTA V, more than likely the same thing will happen with GTA 6 and PS5/XB2. That's all timing, not some malicious plan to have a port be the best selling game of the gen. These games are extremely expensive to produce, of course they're going to capitalize on potential revenue. 

So.. what do you think a Stellar game is? I'm genuinely curios. Stellar is somewhat of an subjective opinion but taking a look at what reviewers which is as objective as we could possibly go:

How about Owlboy with an 88 Meta, Undertale with 92? Ys 85? Wolf 2 87? Darkest Dungen 85? DKC:TF 83?

Wolf 2 I am genuinely looking forward to, it looks superb and is only a few months old, but it was AWOL at this last direct and still has no release date, nor even a release window beyond just "2018". Tropical Freeze was an excellent game, but it came out over 4 years ago. I tried Undertale on PC and hated it, while Owlboy and Ys don't look very appealing to me.

Yes, we agree... it's all business and they're just trying to turn a cheap buck. But I think it was better when the industry as a whole, which means the people making and selling the games and the people buying them, focused mostly on new games and not double dipping.
