It wouldn’t surprise me. IIRC, the “hi-def” demo video that came out before WW eventually became the base for Twilight Princess? So two very different styles that developed simultaneously, more or less.

Ah. Well, what I read was "They have never done this with a Mario game" and thought you were trolling by claiming this is "just a Mario game". You were comparing the differences in sequels between the franchises. Makes more sense now that I've read it a second time with your reply.

I guess we will have to wait and see if we think there are enough differences to warrant the cost upon release.

Don't forget, this is the same company that re-released Mario Kart 8 as "Deluxe" on the Switch at full price. They also remade Link's Awakening and remastered Windwaker, at pretty much full price. Sure, they make really good games that retain value, but they also milk them for a long time.

Time will tell about TOTK.

I’m confused so I’m guessing you’re a troll.

Don’t know, let me ask my uncle that works at Nintendo?

New game.
