I didn’t realise so many non-Nintendo studios made games for Nintendo.

https://www.nintendolife.com/guides/best-nintendo-remakes-and-remasters-of-all-time-ranked

List Length: 41

Nintendo Developed Games: 21

Nintendo Published Games: 41

I think the point is [Nintendo goes] for new games instead of remakes.

They also usually dont do remakes/remasters unless its so new/different it can be considered a new game ( see metroid 2 on 3ds ).

Most of the games on that list fit that definition. Stuff like Zero Mission are extremely different from the original games.

Of course then you also have stuff like BDSP so it’s debatable whether they’ve kept up their policies in recent times, but you could definitely see that in the past.
