The Entire Absurd History of Ports, Remakes, and Remasters on the Nintendo Switch

Ойындар

*I'm using "Ports" as a catch-all for Ports, Remakes, and Remasters in the thumbnail. I use a new word in the video, but for the sake of simplicity in the thumbnail and title I went with Ports.
Let’s go through the history of ports, remakes, and remasters. The good instances, the bad instances, and their overall effect on the gaming industry. And when I say gaming industry, I mean Nintendo. This is a Nintendo channel.

    I honestly really like that a lot of older games are coming to switch. Given many are really expensive on the second-hand market as well as that you can easily take them on the go, it's a great option for people like myself who have never played the originals!

    Few thoughts: 1. Like you said before some ports are worth it and some aren’t depending on the quality and price. 2. I’m glad we don’t have a GameCube Service online and would prefer Nintendo just porting and remaster GameCube Games. 3.Futhermore I wish we could get more ports and remaster of N64, and a few Gameboy games.

    I’m gonna explain what I’ve always believed a remake and remaster are. A remake is remade (at least mostly) from like the ground up for new hardware (think for instance Mario 64 and Mario 64 DS) whereas a remaster is more like taking the existing game and like upscaling it and such and sometimes adding new continent and such. And I feel like ports are mostly just the same game being out on a different console and not much if anything done to it.

    A lot of games being ports is fine in my opinion, I just wish that they had more effort put in. Some are good, like SM3DW adding a whole new game mode and Xenoblade DE remaking everything from music to visuals to UI while also adding a separate story. But then you have NSMBU deluxe

    Here's my thoughts. So obviously, lotta remakes right now... because like they're OBVIOUSLY gearing up for an entirely new console, so it makes sense to do these for the climax of the Switch's life. But I think here's my main note, about the whole 25% thing. There are SO MANY first party games on Switch compared to the Wii U. This percentage still leaves you with so many original, incredible games to play. Especially with the more recent ones, TTYD, Mario RPG, the Pikmins, Metroid Prime, these games people have begged for for ages, I really can't see it as a bad thing.

    "Music moved from cds to digital", except those soundtracks that didn't. There are even certain tv series and or movies that were left behind on VHS, Betamax, or even Lazer Disc. Some series also never had official home video releases meaning you'd be lucky if someone recorded it to vhs.

    personally i have a feeling that your view of having every single game backwards compatible or emulated on one console is a complete oversimplification of how the market works. some people may argue that theres no good reason for games not to be included when theres at least SOMEONE who is willing to buy it, but it is a much more complicated process than you may think, and sometimes companies dont want their games to be rereleased for whatever reason. its exactly why super mario rpg isn't on nintendo switch online, its because it would harm the sales of a remake. even if a company isn't planning a remake it needs to be thought out extremely carefully.

    Considering most of the games I play on Switch are Wii U ports, I find this to be a good thing. I'm especially glad that they ported 3D World since Odyssey wasn't really my type of game, and I'm also glad they ported Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze since I never got it on Wii U and now that I've played it on Switch it made me realize how much I was missing out on this masterpiece of a game.

    And I know people complain about the Wii U ports, but Nintendo was in a unique situation where they went from their worst selling console to their best selling console ever. Why wouldn’t Nintendo use those games to bolster the Switch’s library when even the best selling Wii U game sold to an equivalent of 6.5% of Switch’s sold. I guarantee Nintendo would have done the same going from GameCube to Wii if the Wii’s controls weren’t so dramatically different.

    1:14 New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe unfortunately does not have any new levels. The only new content is Toadette, the Super Crown power-up with Toadette's Peachette form, the ability to play as Nabbit in New Super Mario Bros. U in addition to New Super Luigi U where he was previously only available in and the ability to choose any character as player 1 in story mode. The ability to have both Toad colours at once in multiplayer, Boost Mode and the Boost Mode challenges were removed. The title 'New Super Mario Bros. U *Deluxe'* is quite misleading.

    Yeah, don't know how you manage to pick the worst example, the one port that was a net downgrade, to be your example of a good port. You also forgot about another downgrade, that being mid-air twirl being mapped to the jump button and requiring a code to be inputted every time on the title screen to remove it.

    Saying that Nintendo shouldn't re-release their past catalogue to make their classics available to young people today is like saying that Universal Music shouldn't re-release the Beatles albums anymore. New games should strive to be as good as the old ones. Competition is a good motivator, so I hope they keep releasing old stuff alongside the new. And by the way, any Beatles album costs the same as a new album by a new artist. Good things cost money, and I have no problem with that.
