6 Franchises Nintendo Needs to Resurrect on Switch

The Punished Backlog's David Silbert writes:

"Nintendo is widely known for its deep, eclectic well of beloved franchises. From The Legend of Zelda to Wrecking Crew, there’s no library in gaming as rich in history or as popular among fans.

2019 is shaping up to be a banner year for Nintendo, with representatives from Mario, Fire Emblem, Zelda, and Pokémon all gracing the Switch platform before the year’s end.

They really put a lot of effort into making this a full on proper remake/remaster. So much more little details that one would have missed when playing the original GC version.

So in effect, we are

i) paying more for 20 year old game (60$/euros) than its original release
ii) which is a remaster (not a remake)
iii) and with half the frame rate

which is a shame really.
