8 Video Game Remasters We DEMANDED (Then Instantly Regretted)

Nintendo sure are a weird company, aren't they?

Despite positing through every piece of marketing that they are a family-friendly company that values the customer above everything else, they sure do have a weird way of rewarding that affection seeing as they repeatedly gouge their die-hard fanbase over and over with sub-par and half-baked releases.

I'm speaking of course about the curious case of the Super Mario 3D All-Stars pack, which is, quite possibly a collection of Nintendo games that have received the most requests for a remaster, and on the surface, it's a wonderful package, containing Super Mario 64, Sunshine and Galaxy which all got a coat of new paint and some quality of life fixes.

Or so we were lead to believe, as, alongside a bizarre FOMO-centric ad campaign that told fans that this package would be discontinued after a few months and that you had to BUY NOW DON'T ASK QUESTIONS, this package actually contained an inferior port of Mario 64. This version of the game actually removed a lot of glitches and skips that many speedrunners relied upon and thus instantly was lower in value for this rather sizeable community.

Add in a whole load of "absolutely nothing extra" for the other two games and you have a package that appears all smiles and Mario Sunshine on the surface, but it's a black hole of corporate greed that not even Galaxy could hope to survive.
