I wonder what will happen for Advance Wars 1 & 2 Bootcamp?
I do get a feeling this is more of a "western dev" issue than a Nintendo of Japan one (good example mentioned in comments: Skyward Sword HD). I don't play ports, remasters etc. so I don't really run into this credits issue, but I would be curious if there are other examples of a western developed game for a Japanese company and were those original credits included.
In the case of Advance Wars Bootcamp, there is an original Japanese dev's game being remade by a western studio... I am willing to bet the OG credits will be in the game.
This game was such a disappointment. I give it a 6/10 as well only because the graphics, music and character design is so solid. If it weren't for the art this would be a 4 or 5/10...
The first game was amazing, and they had a decent plot foundation for this sequel but blew it big time with a dragged out snoozefest that has no mind-blowing reveal and ends exactly how it begins. Everything is spelled out and repeated by characters with no underlying schemes or hidden motives.
One of the few games I ever felt like I wasted my time playing through the end of.
I feel like in this instance it's a "sample" and should have been handled the same way as samples are in the music industry, with proper credits. Original song title, which game it's from, composer, vocalist etc. (as needed).
I'm not going to boycott or anything but this is also Nintendo and to a broader extent a Japanese dev we're talking about. They don't really celebrate or give shout outs to devs unless they are top dogs.
Also RE: Spoiler. Yes that was pretty unnecessary to be that specific in the title.
EDIT: To be fair and seeing Nintendo's side, technically RARE Ware was just a contractor using Nintendo's IP so Nintendo owns everything in that game. Can't compare that to say sampling "who let the dogs out" since that song was not created under the Nintendo umbrella.
Everyone crying about lead times don't understand the real world. The last few years they have been putting these games up for pre-order basically with 'unlimited' copies available for a window of time. Once that window closes, they go into production based on the sales they have, unlike before where they would produce a limited quantity and everyone had to fight over them at 10AM est every Friday.
Things are not just magically created in a few days then shipped to your house. Not to say 1-2 years is acceptable - that is definitely insane, but I am not going to curse them out over it. There is a lot of entitlement amongst gamers with no patience. I'd much rather have the chance to buy something stress-free and then wait (I have a life; don't need every game immediately) instead of worrying about purchasing something like anytime Nintendo does something for sale online.
And people saying they have remorse because a game goes on sale DIGITALLY boggles my mind. If you are willing to buy it digitally to begin with, then why wouldn't you wait for a sale instead of getting it physically? Physical editions are mostly for super fans of that game or people that only buy physical media.
I'm not even as big of a supporter of Limited Run Games after the firing of their employee for no reason... but I still understand business and getting things produced can be extremely time-intensive.
Not surprised most people are against a developer trying something new. They'd rather every sequel just be more of the same, or better yet, have developers just make ports of older games they made already.
Modern gaming has become so boring and unexciting for me personally; having lived through it all and played so many games. It's rare to come across a daring sequel especially something this divergent from the mainline series.
I personally hated Bayonetta 3 (the first two, however, are near perfect) so count me in as a day-one'r. PlatinumGames may have redeemed themselves.
Colors are way better in the original Wii game. As previously mentioned, the new graphics look blurry and washed out (desaturated) in the switch remaster. Not a fan of bloom lighting aesthetic (only in specific situations and graphic styles).
I liked the cinemas better in the Switch version though, aside from the outlines (those work great in Smash brothers when zoomed out but look weird all the time).
