>RUMOR: THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: LINK’S AWAKENING REMAKE PLANNED FOR 3DS

Why are companies all of a suddenly deciding to remake their entire catalog of games? If they think it's cheaper and easier because it's just "updating" a old title, someone better slap some sense into them that actions like this will result in suicide. First of all, you have the fans of the original who are going to be autistically screeching over every single little change and questioning as to why it had to take place. Second, the developers working on the team are not the same people who developed the original game (Both in a literally and figuratively), so you know it's not going to be the "same game" right from the get-go. Third, you have the title's name and legacy to live up to, meaning that if you fail the expectations that title has built up over the years that it's been out and already gained acclaim for, it's going to come back and haunt you. And, fourth, all of the time and money spent on "updating" the game to current platforms (New assets, game mechanics, story elements) is just about equal to making a new game, so…WHY DON'T THEY JUST MAKE A NEW GAME?!

A new Link's Awakening wouldn't be so bad if it was just updated to prettier more colorful sprites.

I think remakes are necessary in games where the graphics are important, such as the first 4 Rance games. I'm glad they got remade with new art.

Why does it have to end like this? The 3DS had a solid run but now it's going to die being the dump for shitty "remakes" that don't understand what the originals did right.

It's because has-bins want to pretend they can make better games than the ones made by more talented devs that probably left Nintendo already.

>Link's Awakening Remake

>But it's a spiritual successor to the worst games in the series and Breath of the Wild

What? I can only hope that they mean they're using the BotW engine (the only good part of he game) to remake it, maybe with some sequence breaking bullshit. As long as Koizumi directs it again I wouldn't have a problem with it but he's been exiled to the Mario series and that's Nintendo's biggest blunder. Seriously, I think Anouma would be great on the Mario franchise and Koizumi was made for the Zelda franchise. I'm sure if he did the Link's Awakening remake he'd probably just make the intro a little longer and force you to use the camera instead of just figuring out how to use the shield.

Did you read the part immediately after what I just said? What's the point of re-making a game if it's literally just the same fucking thing? You either add something extra or go the extra mile and change up the basics. Link's Awakening is already perfect, you'll just complain if they change any minor thing so just overhaul it and maybe something else good can come out of it.

Bacause they are creatively bankrupt anon, anything new they try ends up being inferior to what has come before, so in a attempt to keep the appearance that "they still got it" they remake shit they were successful in the past.

The wave of new casuals that never played those games but want the "gamer cred" that comes with it doesn't help one bit.

thanks!

so that looks like a relatively small section of the system's library (right?). compared to more recent systems that seem to have way more remakes and ports. (maybe we need like, a pie chart?)

Recent systems have way more games in general tough, so more remakes are just part of that. There are 783 SNES games, while there are 1439 PS3 games (Counting only games with a physical release).

There's also more old games, so more games you can remake.

I find it fairly annoying how incomplete supposed COMPLETE rom sets are. Usually missing a lot of JP exclusives and usually zero bootlegs or "unreleased" games.

I think the difference between the remakes made in the past and the current remakes made in this decade, is that the latter dont know what made the previous version actually appealing

Like the Mario RPG remake or the YU-NO one

Well, here's a relevant question then, how many Genesis romsets have Divine Sealing? If they have the gull to say "This is the entire consoles catalog, we swear.", and then leave out any game for any reason (In this case, it's because said game is hentai), then those people deserve to be burned at the stake.

>>14186556

>By the way have you bought your copy of Skyrim Special Edition yet, anon?

I didn't even buy the game the first time it came out.

>>14186563

It may have also served for advertising purposes because (1) it did show off all of the new system's capabilities so players of the original can have "testimonials" over the differences (And give developers a chance to test their new limits), and (2) backwards comparability wasn't much of a thing back then so it did help to "legitmately" boost a console's library. Also, it may have been from developers trying to "Get the game right" because most of the "rereleases" were arcade ports back in the day.
