Fresh Coat is a project being undertaken by Ninkancho. The goal is to update pre-Nintendo 64 games, giving them a metaphorical fresh coat of paint, while gameplay-wise keeping them faithful to their original forms. These updated games will be sold in the Display's and other consoles' shop channels, at very low prices compared to the original costs.
