And their remaster looks worse than the fan HD texture packs.
There are some rare exceptions. For every Mario 3D All Stars (shite), you have things like Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition with a new game engine, entirely new character and environment models and textures, entirely new UI and quest tracking, new challenge modes, the soundtrack re-recorded with a full orchestra with the original included too, and an additional 30 hour story expansion with an entirely new area and battle system adjustments, with all the returning VA from before.
No fan mods for the Wii version can ever come close to that.
XCDE was a work of love
Mario 3DAS was a cash grab assigned to five interns for it to be completed by the end of the month
I had the native mario 64 homebrew port on my switch when 3D All Stars came out. Wide-screen, 60fps, right stick/gyro analog camera control, better models and texture packs.....Nintendo had an lua script to overlay higher res UI elements in their (emulated) Mario 64 and literally nothing else.
Links Awakening was a nice one as well but the majority is usually painfully lame. And the constant lawsuits are just not a good image of a player loving company.
I'd say that ones a full remake, of which Nintendo genuinely do really well on. Enough of the original Xenoblade exists in DE to classify it as a remaster/enhanced edition of the Wii version though imo. Others may disagree
I'd say their remasters are usually lazy cash grabs and their remakes are great. Wind Waker is an odd one that had a lot of work put into it but fell short to the original art style for some, which is subjective.
And yeah fuck Nintendo as a company, it's just a shame they make such amazing games that you can't get anywhere else (apart from emulation, I use Yuzu for switch games)
Wind Waker original looks nicer on Dolphin with 4K hack and textures than the Wii-U version.
Agreed, but I know many who prefer WWHD
