From DamnLag:
"In fact, if there is one thing that makes Nintendo dorks truly happy, it’s telling us that a reboot, remake, re-anything of a previous franchise is coming out soon. Why? Because we Nintendo fans are stupidly stubborn and overly nostalgic. We don’t go into E3s asking for new franchises or different directions. Screw that noise; that’s what we think Xbox 360s and PS3s are for. Instead, we ask for Pokemon MMOs and games with threes attached to the ends of their names. If you want to add innovative features and unique gameplay mechanics to old franchises, then by all means go ahead. Just don’t expect us to be excited if you announce a whole new series.
That’s why E3 2010 had Nintendo gamers flooding their laptops with saliva. New Kid Icarus game? Ocarina of Time remake AND a Star Fox 64 remake? New Kirby and Donkey Kong Country reboots? Hell yeah, and keep it coming. In fact, with the bevy of franchises Nintendo has created over the years, there are a few more serie...

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."
Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.
Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.
I really don't understand how Mother hasn't gotten consideration for more.
I'm really confused by the whole Mother 3 thing. They should know that only hardcore gamers will play it anyway, so there shouldn't be any controversy in releasing it.
I agree with all but Pokemon Snap... screw that game.
We really need a new Star Fox game that doesn't suck. It shouldn't be hard. Especially when people like Kamiya are dying to do one.
Pokemon Snap fucking rocks. I could definitely go for another one. It could even make for a good Wiiware title.
