You aren't required to use the gimmicks, The new mario bros, and pokemon black and white are great examples. I think it's a natural resentment towards games becoming more popular as a whole because of gimmicks that make people nostalgia over old consoles. Example:
Mario Paint then: WOW!!! SO ORIGINAL!! THIS IS INCREDIBLE!
If mario paint was released today instead: UHHH! CAUSAL GAMER FILTH! I MISS CLASSIC GAMING!
