This is why Nintendo won't stop making remasters

Nintendo Switch It seems that it is about to reach the end of its generation and, if we have to make a brief summary of how it happened, we can say with certainty that there have been years of remasters and releases already seen on Wii U. Indeed, the Japanese hybrid console has been an apotheosis of already known names that have sold us and, almost always, to full price: 50 dollars at the beginning of the generation and 60 now.

And of course, many of us wonder if Nintendo He doesn’t mind at all that he took the entire catalog of exclusives from Wii U

–which he ate with potatoes– and resell it as is To change Much to the chagrin of those of us who had already purchased them at the time: Mario Kart 8, Captain Toad, Super Mario 3D World...the list is practically endless. Don’t you ask yourself the same question?

Not only Nintendo remasters, but also HD versions

In addition to the entire Wii U catalog as is Nintendo Switchwith some changes, another trend has been to release graphically updated HD editions of old classics, now or still. Titles that were adaptations of Super Nintendo and other consoles and which had their greatest representative as Luigi’s Mansion 2which comes directly from the Nintendo 3DS.

It was after its launch that we obviously understood the reasons for this anything but innovative policy. And this original Nintendo 3DS cartridge from 2017, named Black moon In Japan, this gave us the key that we already suspected of this stubbornness of the Japanese to sell us the same thing, in HD, and at an unprecedented price: 60 dollars ala.

The reason must be found in something as simple as these editions HD They sell. Despite being an updated pastiche of a title from seven years ago, we, the users, are so Panolis that we go to the checkout and buy the same game again for 60 dollars. Not for 30, 40 or 50, we do it at the same price as a new one Zeldaa new Mario or a new one loquesea.

Number one in sales in Japan

The news appeared a few hours ago but, as we told you, it only confirms what we already imagined. May the guilty parties of this Nintendo

continue with the churra Updating old games to sell them in the higher price segment is the type of game we go to stores and buy. Those of us who don’t notice that we already have this title on another system and maybe it’s better to enjoy it with that great 3D of the old Japanese console.

When a game like Luigi’s House 2 It’s the #1 best-selling game in Japan (and other territories) and what’s more, it’s not in digital format, but in physical format, so there’s no choice but to shut up, endure the struggle and let’s do what Nintendo wants because we deserve it. Maybe some of you think that the Japanese can afford to do these things because their developments are the best… but next time, no one will complain. We get what we deserve.
