I think the problem with this conversation is that "remaster" and "remake" are mostly arbitrary terms that don't consistently mean anything beyond the most "technically true" aspects of what those words mean (if even that). They also mean the same thing sometimes.
This is very true. Loads of people got annoyed when I called Xenoblade DE a "remaster" rather than a "remake", but there really is no standard definition for either.
I use the term "remake" specifically for when the entire game has been recreated from scratch, so FF7 and RE2 style. Anything that reuses some of the assets from the original, I call a remaster of some kind, and then anything that changes nothing about the original, except maybe resolution and framerate, I call a port.
I usually just go with an all-encompassing term like “rehash”.
Given Nintendo jumped all the way from 11.0.1 to 12.0.0 seemingly just to fix a NSO cloud save bug. I'm guessing NSO overhaul is announced this week and the 12.0.0 update sets up for that.
6.0.0 was an update that had very little content outside of NSO preparation.
@VoidofLight They sold over a million kits and Ninty said it was pleased with it's sales. Just because it didn't do crazy sales doesn't mean it didn't sell well.
I think it’s more likely that more Zelda news is going to come only after the release of Skyward Sword. But a Botw 2 trailer as a „on more thing“ at E3 wouldn’t surprise me with more news at a later date.
I think E3 2021 is going to be heavily focused around the rumoured new Switch revision. So like:
Direct starts with Smash DLC
Brief headlines for a few already known base Switch games like Mario Golf and Skyward Sword HD
Finishes base Switch section with Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD coming late summer/early fall
New Switch revision announced
BotW 2 gameplay
Lots of announcements of new games coming to the new Switch revision including some exclusives
Finish with something like Mario Odyssey 2 for 2022
With Nintendo pulling a trick where reviewers close to launch are the first source of base Switch footage of games that launch with or after the new Switch revision.
