I had a moment to think about why I like certain games, and I have figured out some criteria for myself,

  1. Vibrant colours
  2. Simple/Cartoon-ish looks
  3. Mid/High level of complexity in mechanics

That's why my current favourite game is Splatoon 3, followed by Minecraft, and the list consists mostly of Nintendo games.

What's your criteria?

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.
