Might be an unpopular opinion, but I hate retro marketing. They feel very uninspired, and look like a bad way to fill up the market. Remakes, remasters everywhere. Like, yeah I know this game is cool but do you really need to make the exact same thing twice/thrice/more than 3 times? Charging nearly the full price (Looking at you Nintendo)?
Definitely an unpopular opinion... but yeah, retro market most likely will be more appealing to the older gamers.
There are very different kinds of remakes and remasters though, some are very low effort while some others are exceptional.
I usually go back to the actual retro games though, not remake or remasters, unless they are really really good.
