Nintendo stop making HD remakes and actually make new stuff

im pretty sure that since Super Mario Advance nintendo has just worked on "HD remixes" of their older franchises for use as tech demos on their newer platform (to figure out how compression can be best applied, what code can be recycled in the new engine, etc.) with the excuse of "have you SEEN starfox 64 that shit sold like hotcakes and its just a reimagining of the SNES one while testing the limits of the new platform. let's make a new boxart, clean up the rough edges and ship this."

it works every time. from console to console, most of us ignore frugality and just end up buying Wind Waker HD because of how actually fucking great it was (when, in actuality, it's Aonuma et. al getting a hang of the new specs of the system for a potential new flagship title. I'm in the boat that agrees that yes, it's too soon for Twilight Princess but I honestly wouldn't mind because the Wii one handles like a giant poop
but for god's sake fix Link's incredibly strange walking gait)




like it's literally a big "this is how you turn one hit title

into two"

(but seriously, take a step back. the majority of early titles are literally tech demos. every Yoshi game since Yoshi's Island [even Woolly World] was literally a fleshed-out tech demo. And somehow, we've given Miyamoto the mutual approval to debut ACTUAL TECH DEMOS as new games at E3 with Project Guard and Giant Robot when he's got nothing to show for otherwise)
