Re: Masuda to "consider" Ruby and Sapphire remakes: Game Freak director acknowledges

YES! Hoenn was my first region, I think it'll look great remade! But before we start celebrating, he only considered it. Not confirmed it. But it's probably in development, so......
And hopefully it'll be on the 3DS.

He didn't even "consider" it. That's unfortunately a poor mistranslation originally posted. It has since been rectified

Re: Masuda to "consider" Ruby and Sapphire remakes: Game Freak director acknowledges

All i've been hearing out of this thread is hype and speculation. Why are people acting like what he said was a confirmation of anything when it isn't?
Honestly now, i expected a little more of you Bulbaforums :C

Not to mention that if one can still play a previous game on a current enough platform AND pass it's pokemon forward to the most current games (not to mention use the cart itself to unlock things in a recent pair of games), it's too soon for it to be remade imho. IF they ever do a R/S/E remake, wait until at least gen 6, maybe gen 7 if things become incompatible again.

RSE remakes are needed the DS and DSLite are practically dead and the 3rd gen games are hard to find now and they have the dying battery problem. They deserve a remake just about as much as HGSS did.

The DS and DSL are not dead, i don't know what someone told you but they are alive and well my friend.
The battery problems only affected berry growing and certain in-game things, unlike the Gen 2 battery problems which deleted your save. R/S/E games with dry batteries are still fully playable.
And the main reason G/S/C got remakes was due to incompatibility to shift pokemon forward and the extensive lengths people had to go through in order to get all the Johto pokemon through other games, and even then you couldn't get them all unless you had special disks exclusive to Japan and America (which, if memory serves me right, also fixed those battery glitches in R/S/E) Unlike the R/S/E games where you can just as easily as FR/Lg shift things forward through the use of the "dead" DS/DSL.

So no, they are not yet fully warranted imho.

Then go by a Wal Mart and find me one. Oh wait they do not sell them there anymore because they are outdated and dead.

This is the 21st century my dear, there are places that actually carry them, like Gamestop and online venues. Boxes, they need to be thought out of.
My point is at the end of the day, nothing was confirmed and we need to stop feeding each other speculation and considering that as fact.

There are places that still sell GB and GBC but that didn't stop them from remaking FRLG or HGSS. The DS and DSL are outdated and dead whether they are sold used or not. You do not find new ones anywhere anymore. It's 2011 not 2005 we have handhelds that do not have GBA slots now. We are getting GBA games on the 3DS because of this too.

Re: Masuda to "consider" Ruby and Sapphire remakes: Game Freak director acknowledges

If I remember correctly, the DS and DS Lite are no longer in production. However, a lot of retailers still stock second hand ones and offer trade-in value for them, so there is still demand.

Besides, considering that we now know the 3DS can have Gameboy Advance games on the Virtual Console, who's to say Ruby/Sapphire won't just be slightly tweaked to allow trading and to be detected by PokéTransfer/Whatever and ported onto there?

many people have said we would never see any main games on there do to the trading problem. IDK if they can even fix that problem at all though.

That was only because a fake list for the games surfaced that said that the GBA titles wouldn't have wireless capabilities (but as I said before, the list was fake). It's entirely possible for them to reprogram the games; after all, how do you suppose we have the restore point system for the Gameboy, GBC (and at some point in the future, NES) titles?

Also, one of the GBA games that we know is a 3DS Ambassador title is Mario Kart: Super Circuit. Why would they have a Mario Kart game if you can only have single player?

Re: Masuda to "consider" Ruby and Sapphire remakes: Game Freak director acknowledges

I may consider a R/S/E remake if the demands for the regular DS and DS Lite are gone for good.

Good show, ignoring the multitude of other review sites that gave the two games satisfactory to great ratings.

I've only mentioned GameTrailers instead of the other game sites, who gave them positive reviews, because it seems to be the most trustful when analyzing games during reviews, even if some of them are questionable.

Sonic Generations is basically a massive love letter to the fans saying "We're sorry for the past, we're listening to what you have to say now, here's this trip to memories past to prove that and to make it up to you, let's make a brighter future from here." And of all all the previews I've seen of Sonic Generations, only one source has displayed anything not akin to anxiety and excitement, and even then, that one site was only skeptical. Hell, even Jim Sterling is getting excited for this game.

But isn't it a bad thing when using memories from the past to make a game a success instead of moving on to make sequels similar to Unleashed and Colors? It just shows a betrayal to the newer generation.

You do not find new ones anywhere anymore. It's 2011 not 2005 we have handhelds that do not have GBA slots now. We are getting GBA games on the 3DS because of this too.

You can buy the consoles that have those slots, in their original boxes, brand spanking new at most retail stores, so the fact that the "next big thing" doesn't have them isn't the reason remakes are created (Not to mention you can by the original R/S/E for at their "retail new" price so it's not like GF/Nintendo/Whoever is losing money on them). They are made for several other reasons such as sale boosting, reinvigorating a franchise, incompatibility, anniversaries, etc.

I'm not against the idea of remakes being made of those set of games, by all means make them! But like i've been saying (and you've been ignoring), when you can still use the originals, however "outdated, rare, or as you say, dead" they may be, with a set of the most current games, especially right after one set of remakes, it is not the time for more. I understand lots of people have their big ol' 3DS's itching for some nostalgia, but it's just not time yet and everyone needs to be a little more patient.

I'm not going to continue this debate as it's basically pointless to go on and i have yet to sleep.

There are people who would play alone in the world though.

Then I'll probably go against FR/LG/HG/SS to keep my statement true since remakes nowadays are despised due to their demand for sequels/pure originality.

That desperate to win an argument, are we? I also don't remember FR/LG/HG/SS being "despised" by a whole shitload of people like you're making it out to be. Christ people, they're just games.:lol:

Anyways... for now, I'm taking this with a grain of salt. This isn't to say that I won't be getting R/S remakes, because I definitely will if they come out. Besides Gen IV, Gen III was my favorite *wuvs my Blaziken and Walrein*.

I also agree that the word "consider" wasn't found anywhere in the tweet, so we honestly don't know if he's confirmed anything... it's a little brash to be saying that he basically confirmed R/S remakes when all he did was say "thank you" to the feedback and commented on how he liked those games too. Well, of course he's going to like those games... I imagine he likes all of the main handheld series to a certain point, he created them with a passion for doing so.

What I'm also wondering is if CoroCoro might have something on this, like if it will either deny or confirm anything.

If they remake these games I hope they're the last ones for a while. A small part of me wishes that HGSS would be the end of remaking games for now, but I'm not completely against RSE remakes. I'd rather see GF put most of their focus on newer games rather than old games.
