You hook them back with a thrown together 1:1 remake, and then hit them with the high quality shit. It's not intentionally bad, it's just marketed to another segment of the audience.
that said, it's gonna be shit, but it'll still sell enough to warrant either DLC of other regions, or sequels for the other regions.
