I'm tired of Nintendo getting me to shell out for the past again. I'd rather they focused on making something new and good, rather than just re-hashing old crap for what could end up being the second time in the case of something like SM64.

Would I pay $15 for a remake of Super Mario 64? Not unless it was a complete overhaul with more than just the few extra bells and whistles. And I'm not talking about the bullsh*t they tried to pass off as "new levels" in the DS version, or the crap they tried to pull with the new stars in every level.

I would however pay for a complete revamp of OoT. It's never seen one, and a game that amazing doesn't deserve to be left in the blurry, ugly, god awful state it currently resides in.

There are very few others I would pay for upgrades of though. In fact, I can't think of another single one.

BTW, they often put the DS up on a big screen on "On The Spot" on Gamespot. It's not even as close to as bad as you're making it out to be.
