"They're not relying on "pure nostalgia" to sell units. The fact is that these are really great games, remade to some unknown extent. Assuming that they do enough with the games and launch them at a reasonable prince point, there's nothing here to take up arms about.
There's also some willful ignorance in saying that they refuse to create new content for the 3DS. Kid Icarus is a new IP in everything but name, as Pit's character has been completely redesigned and the game plays nothing like the original. Treating it as anything other than new or exciting just because it shares a name with an older game doesn't seem fair. Or well-reasoned.
There's also an original entry in the Paper Mario series and a brand-new (well, minus six years in development) IP, Steel Diver. This might not be the avalanche of new in-house IPs you've expected for the system's launch, but it's respectable, especially when taken in consideration with the handful of remakes and other proper sequels that will be available.
The "onslaught" of these several remakes is a symptom of the system's launch (though I anticipate vintage games will be availably digitally) and as 3DS development begins full-stop and the system finds it swing, we'll see less and less of it and more unique and interesting content not just from Nintendo, but third-parties as well."
