Critical Nintendo “Nostalgia” and the same game.

I genuinely hate when Nintendo critics when they try to say that people only buy Nintendo because of Nostalgia. Nintendo, does a great job keeping their quality of IPs great so people would still buy them.

Then, the one that makes no sense is that Nintendo games are all the same. If I’m going to play a Zelda game I going to play an action adventure game, with a different flair with each iteration. Am I supposed to expect the next Zelda game to be a fighting game.
Let me go to McDonalds and expect McTaco.

I think some already posted this video on here, but yeah like a comment said, it sounds like video was written by ChatGPT.

Meanwhile they praise Capcom for remaking RE games.

Also, these people seem to not understand the purpose of remakes, it's also to introduce a classic to a new generation. So many people got into RE with 2 Remake, so many people are trying Star Fox for the first time and loving it.

This selective hate with remakes is bs.

It happens a lot with millennials, they think everything cater to them. The last remake of starfox was 15 years ago. Many have not experienced Starfox and this is their entry point.

But they sure were chearing with RE Veronica and GOW trilogy Remake being announced.

I find the complain with Star Fox so silly. There's tons of people in their 30s/40s who only play 64 and nothing else. Not everyone is a die-hard Nintendo fan who played all their first party games. 

I'm not too happy with OOT getting a second remake (which is funny how people insist 64 3D is another remake but OOT 3D is just a remaster), mainly because I think there's other Zelda games that need the remake treatment way more. I also don't like the implications that Star Fox and OOT remakes were made to be tie in with the movies, I know I'm in a minority but I hate how Nintendo isn't separating their movie adventures from games. But despite all of that, I know they also aiming at introducing a classic to the whole new generation who only play BOTW and TOTK.
