Miyamoto defends the idea that there are too many remakes, explains why Nintendo releases them as "young people today don’t have the opportunity to play games from 10 years ago"

I personally don't mind remakes since they bring a fresh coat of paint to existing classics and if done properly can be used as a springboard for new games in lesser known franchises.

Metroid followed a similar pattern where Samus Returns was remade followed by Dread and then Prime 4

Zelda had a remake of Link's Awakening followed by Echoes of Wisdom

Famicom Detective Club had both Japan only games remade for a global audience along with Emio being announced shortly afterwards
