I LOL @ EB because we all know it's not gonna happen.
I've never even played the game and I'm right beside everyone that has hoping for some sort of Mother Resurgence. I'm just not holding my breath waiting for it to happen.
I stopped holding out hope for that a long time ago, so my apologies as the joke flew way over my head.
An HD Remix is a cheap recycling job that can get suckers to buy a game they already own for like a fourth time. Of COURSE Nintendo is going to have that.
I'm giving out my 2nd or 3rd applaud to this statement, as it's the most positive thing I can recall ever saying in my entire time on these boards.
To add my 2 cents to that topic, while it'd be a great idea in the sense that it could introduce older classics to a new generation who either;
-are ignorant little bitches and refuse to play old-school games because their NOT HD
-have no other means to check out the classics (in a legitimate way that allows the makers to fund future projects)
I personally don't feel the need to do so. I just find it rare that I'd want to re-experience one of the older games I've owned for years in HD, as if it would add anything to the experience. I'm stating this because I recently saw the new trailer for Ocarina of Time 3D and the entire time I thought "this looks exactly how I remember it". Yes, the textures are better, higher polygon count, plus it's in 3d (obviously) but it didn't thrill me into wanting to play the game again, or more importantly, purchase the game again. Through nostalgia tinted glasses, I remember Ocarina of Time as this gorgeous 3d game with visuals beyond anything out at that point in time. I know if I put the game on right now it'll be a blurry/jaggy mess, but still a good game that I'll be able to enjoy no matter how blurry.
tl;dr: HD remakes have their place and purpose but chances of me being into it are slim. Cite all the benefits you want (like PD fixing frame rate issues) but it's just not for me. I'll pass.
