On the topic of remakes, I just want to chime in with the fact that a lot of these games that you are talking about being remade, I never got to play even though I really wanted to. So again, for me, it's great because I will finally have a chance to play them on the new consoles. I'm sure a lot of younger people (like 12-14yrolds) are like this too.

I personally don't like it when a game is remade just five years after it was released because you can still pick it up off the shelf, along with the console to go with it. BUt a game being remade 10 or 15 years later is a great idea, because they discontinue the consoles and game production, which makes finding one extremely hard (LoZ: Ocarina of Time/Wind Waker combo goes for about $150 preowned on the gamecube here in australia, and they're super rare, let alone either game by itself, and finding an older console which actually works is terribly difficult too).

So early remakes annoy me (like game of the year editions...I literally JUST bought the game and yo're releasing an edition with new stuff that I want...I'm not gonna buy it) but remakes of old games I like because it gives people who haven't played them before the chance to actually play them.
