@Wavey84 I Lol! was born in 1980 and definitely remember the drab NES versions as a kid. Miyamoto had some failures in his career, but his impact is felt in the very games and hardware we play today. Judging Miyamoto based on Star Fox Zero is like judging Muhammad Ali's entire career on The Fight Of The Century.
This article is wrong in every conceivable way. First off going backwards to review a game isn't fair to the game, or any of the people who poured their lives into its design. The fact you're criticizing a compilation of 3 of the greatest games ever made is not even humorous. This compilation put plenty of SNES consoles into homes, and was a pack in game for a time. As a game journalist I'm not sure it helps your credentials questioning the work of arguably the greatest game designer who ever lived. If Shigeru Miyamoto thought the remasters were necessary then I'm on board. All of that aside gaming is about moving forward with the technology and improving. These were a welcome replacement for all those drab NES versions we had grown up with. It put them more in line with Super Mario World which had set a precedent a few years earlier. The actual best version of All Stars was the pack in that included Super Mario World on the same cartridge.
