Got to hand it to Nintendo, they're the kings of originality 
I bet these remakes will come in at $70 too, the fans lap it up.

Wait, are Nintendo games not selling? Why remake these games? Where's my Mario 64 remake? Oh wait, the open-source community did just that WITH Ray-Tracing.
Like other fans did with TLOU PS5, but unlike that game that basically came out a few years ago, these remakes are for games that are almost 30 yo.Got to hand it to Nintendo, they're the kings of originality

It's Toadstool's ???. Get it right!
Super Mario RPG is a game that often came to my mind when I was watching The Super Mario Bros Movie.
People lap it up for the remake of Link's Awakening because, at its core, it is a great game and recognized as such decades later.
That's what happen when you can produce good games that are still relevant for a lot of people decades after the original release (not just "good games for the time" but truly good games irrespective of the times).Got to hand it to Nintendo, they're the kings of originality

There is already a Pikmin on Switch, they still made a new one.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Mario RPG is developed and published by SE, rather than Nintendo.

And that reply is what happens when you're a Nintendo mug
Actually I would be surprised if Square Enix is publishing the game (if it happens for real).
Even in Japan, where the chances are slightly higher, I don't think Square Enix could attain publishing rights because, even thought it is a RPG, it is still a "Super Mario" game (it's a different case from Hyrule Warriors where the brand was forged by Koei).
Square cooperation would be mandatory of course.
Reality is a Nintendo mug?And that reply is what happens when you're a Nintendo mug
That's just envy on your part...

People trust Nintendo games qualityGot to hand it to Nintendo, they're the kings of originality

And there games are relevant in every decade
Also they don't put any stupid agenda like sony and MS
Their main focus is how to have fun while gaming
And not forcing unnecessary woke agenda

I was thinking it could be something like Vs. Rabbids where Nintendo let's Square use the character, or like how Namco is publishing the Baeten Kaitos games, not Nintendo.
Not that I would be surprised if it was first party!
They ported a 2D Mario and then made a new one. Its exactly the same thing. Mario Maker is something different
Sony makes a lot of fun games too. "Woke" isn't an issue.

I’m not understanding the logic here. Since when does Nintendo not make sequels to their games? The only 2D Mario that’s on Switch is a port from a game that originally came out in 2012.

There are literally no first party games announced past Pikmin on July 21, and I think this is the longest they’ve ever waited to announce a fall/holiday lineup.
They have to do one soon

A Sonic Mania style 2D reboot of Super Mario World is one of my guilty fantasies.

As long as the gameplay and physics are on point, I’m fine with that

One new IP in decades excuse me while I'll laugh.
Xbox showed off more brand-new IP in its showcase than Nintendo made in decades and even SONY offers the likes of Dreams

Let's face it, any Nintendo Direct that doesn't tell us something about Switch 2 is likely to be underwhelming at this point.
There was so much innovation, like in Fable you could... oh I dunno, there was no gameplay show.
Or like in Hellblade where you could... oh, ooops.
But that game in the Bayou... no wait.
Yes, Starfield which isn't even Xbox, looks to evolve the open world to expand to a universe. But that's about it in more than a decade.
Nintendo did Splatoon, Ring Fit Adventure, not to mention innovating in it's own legacy franchises like Zelda and Mario.

Fable or Hellblade aren't even new IPs. The new IP's are Starfield, Clockwork Revolution, South of Midnight, and Avowed that's more new AAA In-House Ips than Nintendo has done in a decade in one show
Counting, Ring Fit Adventure is like counting Kinect Sports has new IP
BTW Legacy isn't innovating there's nothing new in Mario or Zelda that other developers haven't done before. The only innovation from Nintendo is finding ever more ways to milk IP and their fans

Super Mario world remake? Doubt it’s a new 2d Mario game.
This gen Nintendo published new IPs:
Ring Fit Adventure (which is a new IP more innovative than anything you mentioned)
Astral Chain
Arms
Octopeth Traveler
Innovating in your own IP is something Microsoft or Sony don't do. Every 3D Mario has a different gameplay hook, Zelda this gen was something else, 3D Kirby, etc.
But I get it, South of Midnight is so innovative they didn't show gameplay. Clockwork Revolution is totally not Bioshock. I'll give you Starfield but that's about it.

We now need to go into publishing lol. We also had Grounded, Sea Of Thieves and Pentiment In-House and if we go to published then we have Quantum Break, Recore, Sunset Overdrive Ect and that's even before ones moves on to SONY.
The fact is, Xbox and SONY do a far better job of making new IP's than the so-called innovators Nintendo

They could remaster the entire 8bit-32bit generation and I wouldn't complain at all.

The more remakes, the better I say.

I want both, however i'll be happy with either. I think the producer of Mario RPG has said it's his dream to make a sequel.
