    Honestly, my biggest issue with the Bowser's Inside Story remake is that they just COMPLETLY ignored Partners in Time, a game that's also great but actually COULD have used a little touch up.

    • @slashermaster28
      @slashermaster28 4 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Agreed. Seriously, all they had to do was make it so using the hammer to initiate a battle hurts your opponents instead of maybe stunning them and possibly make it so the Bros. attacks aren't items (Though to be fair, that might be asking too much) and it would have been well worth it.

    • @KevinCow
      @KevinCow 4 ปีที่แล้ว +25

      It finally made sense to me why they skipped Partners in Time when I learned that the remakes were basically just a desperate last ditch effort to save the company. Bowser's Inside Story is a fan favorite and the best selling game in the series, so they figured it had a better chance of selling.
      This also explains why they didn't put it on Switch, as using the engine they'd already used for 3 games was far cheaper than porting that engine to a new platform. I'm sure they knew a Switch game would've sold better, but they just couldn't afford to do that.

      @@KevinCow I agree, this probably was the last attempt to keep the company alive. If this game did REALLY well, the company could still be around and maybe even make another game on the switch however the company didn't have the budget to make a remake on Switch so 3DS had to be tried...

    One other thing about the Bowser's Inside Story remake, they had every opportunity to go after Partners in Time instead. Even if that's also a DS game, they could have tweaked the mechanics of that game to be more in line with the rest of the franchise and expanded the world to have more side content. And if it was a Switch release, they wouldn't have to worry as much about touchscreen functions because that was hardly ever used in that game.

    • @Bofrab

    @C_Arson 4 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    So many people have said that AlphaDream should've started making games on the Switch as if it was something that could've been done easily. It definitely would've brought more sales, but the problem is that they probably weren't well enough financially to do that. They were a really small company that had never developed an HD game before, and Paper Jam and Superstar Saga 3ds didn't sell particularly well either. Their logic for the BIS remake was probably that the original was their most popular game, so therefore it had the best chance at getting them out of their already existing financial troubles. Unfortunately, that chance was still next to none.

    • @jowysw

      They didn't really manage to plan ahead for the future. Which is a shame. They should have prepared for the transition instead of going into panic mode and spend money with remakes that sold... Not really well.
      The fact that BiS was the best selling M&L game didn't help it at all.

    Some of the reasoning for Luigi's Mansion on the 3DS was for the original vision of having a 3D compatible game. They realized that wasn't possible on GameCube and had to can the idea. The fact that they released this game so late on a dying console shows that this project was very much propelled by this desire to realize that 3D Functionality. Very much so it does stink but I somewhat get the drive behind it at least. Should've evaluated their priorities though

      evl cracker The OG FF7 is a great game, but it’s obvious that the PS1 limited the scope the devs had for the game. Which’s why I’m glad it could finally be realized on much better hardware with FF7R, and since it’s made clear the remake is more of an alternate retelling rather than a one-to-one remake, both can still exist without invalidating the other.
      Plus, even if the changes it made seem questionable at first, they make more sense when you piece everything together, and I definitely wouldn’t go so far as to say they outright “ruined” the game. Especially when so far it’s only one part of a future saga that doesn’t even cover a third of the original game. But hey, it’s just your opinion, so I still respect it.

I guess at that age four years felt like a much longer time.
    Maybe if they'd added more to differentiate the game other than like, one joke at the start, it might have been more worthwhile, but in that area they were obviously more focussed on the multiplayer.

    God it still annoys the hell out of me that the Luigi’s Mansion remake was dumped on the 3DS. I had been wishing for years and years that the original GameCube game would get remade and when it finally gets it...it’s thrown on the system that _isn’t_ HD with my new shiny modern console. If I want to play a 3DS Luigi’s Mansion I already have Dark Moon which I enjoy more than most! It especially hurts now knowing how freaking beautiful 3 is, and imagining the first game looking like that.

    Thank you for this. I felt so much Deja vu with #1 because I was coming to terms with Sun being my last pokemon game because X was the last to have a National Dex. So the disappointment with my 3DS XL's battery dying too meant I had no "current" console. BWC PS3 and a 360 Pro. So I have to wait for PC ports. Which can go from Warframe; PC is the first and building platform, but it gets designed for and distributed to consoles now. Or my classic favorite Phantasy Star Online 2; which is just now available to NA PC players a bit over a month after the NA Xbox got it, I've lost count how many years after the release on the Japanese servers. And the PC Microsoft Store is NOT the best means to distribute... anything.

    Despite both playing and enjoying the Bowser’s Inside Story remake, it definitely didn’t need one, despite the QoL improvements it brought from Paper Jam. It could even be considered a downgrade in certain aspects as well, since it made the Toad NPCs more generic and the game run at 30 FPS for...reasons.
    If anything Partners in Time could’ve benefited from a remake more, being that I feel as though it has the most flaws gameplay-wise out of any M&L game.
    Also the only thing that validates the Luigi’s Mansion remake’s existence for me is the fact that the OG game was originally planned to have some kind of 3D functionality, but they couldn’t figure out a way for it to work properly on the Gamecube. Which the 3DS has!
    But other than that...I’m just fine emulating...I-I mean playing the OG game, instead of paying $30-40 just to play it portable.

    I don't see the Luigi Mansion as pointless. In fact, the Switch being released is exactly why it got a remake and not a actually full on New game. It most likely started development before the switch was released. Nintendo didn't know if the Switch would be a success and wanted the 3ds to be a system they could fall back on if it failed. Releasing remakes was their answer to keep it alive without taking away cost for Switch development. I do think Bowser's Inside Story was a horrible choice for a remake though.

  • @WayWardWonderer
    @WayWardWonderer 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    At this point I think Nintendo is keeping the 3DS alive at this point is because the Switch is still $300 and they don't want to lower the price just yet, but they still want people buying their systems/games. So many parents would easily jump at a $70 2DS instead of a $300 Switch because "It's the same thing!" When no, it is not. Nintendo is enabling the "close enough" type of gift exchange that every child dreads!!

Trying to find a replacement copy of the original BIS was ridiculous because for some reason, it was just hard to find and the copies I found used were just really expensive for some reason. So I just gave up until they announced that a remake was coming for BIS on the 3DS. I was happy to hear that as I honestly wanted to relive that game again. Plus, I was also happy with the Jr. add on along with tweaking the game (Giant Bowser no longer needing the mic for fire attack springs to mind)
