With so many remakes and remasters of older games coming out, some game development experts say we should keep bringing the original classics to newer consoles.
The PROBLEM with Retro Gaming in 2023
Over the past few years, we’ve seen several remakes and remasters of older games like Resident Evil 2, Demon’s Souls, and more. While these remakes have been met with love and admiration, other companies have focused on bringing the original experience to newer consoles.
Nintendo is the latest gaming company to attempt to bring back classic titles in their original formats, announcing that Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis games would be coming to the Switch via an online subscription service. Experts say the move is significant because it could help cement these titles’ place in gaming history.
“There is definitely a nostalgia factor for older gamers and a way for younger gamers to play classics that shaped the gaming industry today. These classics are also great games that were a lot of fun — and still are,” Jong Shin, iiRcade’s founder and CEO, told Lifewire in an email.
