I'm doing my best to level people's expectations. Some people are expecting a Mario 64 remake in the Odyssey engine, and that's not happening, lol.
I mean it's nice that you are trying to keep it civil in here, but you are not Nintendo's PR person.
Ofcourse we can tell ourselver that this is the way Nintendo operates and that's why it is not bad.
But it just does look bad when we could buy Mario 64 for the last 15 years for like 10 bucks and it looked pretty much the same apart from the resolution.
Value is gonna be enhanced just by having Galaxy, but I wouldn't really call it a steal for 60 bucks when all they did is bump up the resolution and you can get the Crash and Spyro remasters for cheaper, and they are actually upgraded.
Yes it's gonna sell just by being Mario, but we aren't shareholders here(maybe someone here is, I dont know, but not primarily) so what do we care about how a remaster of games we already played sell.
It's not like it's gonna affect sequels.
So what I want to say is, I think it's fair if people get upset about the collection(in a civil manner, but gamers lol), when they are such influental games and it feels like they get less care than other comapnies give their franchises.
This is only in the remaster department, the actually new current Nintendo games are awesome.
I just find this narrative of "Nintendo did Zelda remakes for 60$ so this is fine because thats how Nintendo is" kinda like being blind to Nintendos faults.
It's gonna be cool having those games on hanheld I guess, but with Mario I feel like we should be able to expect more.
Especially with the fan PC Port of 64 pretty much actually already being better, and Galaxy looking awesome on Dolphin already. But that's probably beside the point.
