I've only briefly played the first one back when it released. I had an N64/Super Mario 64, so I really wasn't impressed, but was definitely intrigued. I suppose my question is, "Do I get the new trilogy, or is there a convincing reason to revisit the old ones?"
Seems like a pretty subjective question, but when you consider remasters/remakes the likes of Secret of Mana, the stakes might be higher than they first appear!
