    I really really really like the awesome and nostalgic remake of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. It really was an extreme dream come true. As much as I admit, I would like to say I have been wishing for a very very very long time Mallow and Geno could return as major characters some or even many more times. I would have liked it a lot if they were no longer one time major characters. They appear in the original and remake and so I would like it if they could return other Mario games majorly again.

    I think you missed an important detail, hyper fighting was Capcoms response to the Street fighter 2 rainbow edition which was a Taiwanese hacked version of SF2CE, it was earning more money in the arcades than the original SF2CE and when Capcom sent reps to get arcade operators to update thier SF2 arcade boards to their new SF2CE they found most have already did with the hacked version. Honestly you should make this story a two-parter, look into the history of rainbow edition.

    This game should get a spiritual successor/soft reboot... whatever you call it, much in the style of what TMNT did with Shredder's Revenge. Expand the references to the whole golden age of The Simpsons up to seasons 9-ish. Fight through Shelbyville hostile inhabitants, the Movimentarian camp, the killer robots in Itchy & Scratchy Land, a WWII flashback with the Flying Hellfish and maybe make Hank Scorpio the final boss.

      @Rodrigo_Vega 27 днів тому

      @@calliecreates06 Well... the target audience of these nostalgic remakes same as in TMNT is probably older fans and the odd zoomer that is into older stuff. If you are gonna go through all the trouble of making a retro-style game with retro-graphics referencing a show that had it's hayday in the mid 90s... then you should probably prioritize the old bits. I wouldn't rule out hiding some references to later seasons here and there, but that being said and there being SO much Simpsons material it only makes sense to focus development efforts into the absolute best parts of the show.
