It seems all these old games are getting re-released for NEW GRAPHICS DUDE! It is really sad that they have to sell these games again because they are out of ideas. They don't go in and tell people how remarkable these old games were because they overcame certain technological limitations of the time, like the demo scene, but they have to bank off the name and ruin the fascination behind the gameplay.
the Super Mario Brothers games for the NES are great, fun games with exceptional overall design, and Mario 64 is also a very high quality game, not exactly my taste, but absolutely worth "remastering". Eventually, it's about MAKING MONEY, they're a company, you know, but there's nothing bad about "reviving" great "old games" if it's done right.
There are some excellent new games nowadays too. By far, most games back in the NES days were also quite crappy. Very good, fun, high quality games have never been the norm, but the exception. It's the same with music, food, furniture, and countless other things. Also, keep in mind that it's very hard to come up with truly "new" ideas nowadays, when most things that are possible have already been done decades ago, and quite well. Most of what's possible nowadays is to "enhance" or "supplement" existing ideas, and doing it well is very hard too. Oftentimes, adding or significantly changing things simply can't add to the fun and "replayability", it just ruins it.

I've recently started playing Mario 64 again, and while it looks and feels like Mario, the mid 1990s 3D graphics seem a bit dull compared to it's 2D SNES counterparts, sometimes to the point of being distracting. I would like to see a re-release of Mario 64 which makes it look and feel more like a SNE
