Nintendo is remaking and re-releasing, is that good or bad?

THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: MAJORA'S MASK 3D REVIEW: TIME AFTER TIME

http://www.polygon.com/2015/2/4/7874951/zelda-majoras-mask-3d-review-legend-new-3ds-xl

   Polygon's review of The new Majora's Mask remake gives it a 9/10, saying that it keeps the beautifully dark nature of the Nintendo 64 classic, while smoothing off it's rough edges. As many have complained about recent Nintendo games and remakes, Griffin McElroy says that by being able to save between 3-day cycles and the Sheikah stones make the game too easy. Many remakes have been making these classic games easier for the next generation, but in spite of that this game got an amazing score of 9/10.

"The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D does a lot of things right, but its biggest success is how it's sanded off all those rough edges from the original's core conceit. It is, 15 years later, the grand, time-traveling adventure this game always deserved to be."

"What's remarkable about Majora's Mask 3D is how it refines that structure, and does so without compromising the premise — save for one notable exception."

"It's smart stuff, but one major change kind of undercuts the concept: You can now save in the middle of your three-day loop...While that scheme is perhaps more streamlined, it's also a bit less interesting."

     I have heard mainly amazing things about this game and it's remake, which is great for Nintendo (and the scalpers, but that's another story), but it's definitely going to reinforce the flood of remakes and re-releases that is plaguing the gaming industry. The PS4 and XBOX ONE have few good games and the few that are good are remakes. Nintendo is trying to create original content and I enjoy their new games a lot, but it's obvious that the remakes are making more money, the latest Pokemon remakes being one of the best-selling Pokemon games ever, and the Zelda remakes rating so well. This is always spoken negatively about, but the numbers (especially in the Mario series) show that this is what people want, and if it makes people happy while giving Nintendo money, shouldn't it continue? Or by pushing all these remakes, have we caused ourselves to meet with a terrible fate? I don't know.

Second to last line was a reference to the game, that's why its so deep.
