What a wonderful article this is. Thank you Nathan for showcasing this amazing collection and shoutouts to all the artists who worked on these pieces. I miss physical magazines...
Seeing Petey Piranha in the article's thumbnail made me remember that court in Mario Slam Basketball / Mario Hoops 3 on 3 where the baskets were Petey Piranhas that hit you if you tried to dunk.
Admittedly I had never heard of him. But if he's one of the people behind the localised dialogue in Kid Icarus Uprising, I'm buying 10 copies of the book right now
Bit weird that they don't straight up mention Dragon Quest III but only the "legend"/"legacy" of Erdrick. I'm not insane enough to think they might be remaking DQ1 and 2 as well, but I do hope DQ3 gets a bit expanded, because it's a pretty short game and this remake is definitely going to be full price.
Ooooohh I'm looking forward to this!! Randomly picked up Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth on a sale last year and it was such a simply good, well-made game. Then that led me to watch the 1990 OVAs for Record of Lodoss War and those were so so great. Anyway, here's hoping this will be another banger by Team Ladybug!!
Aw man. Had a lot of fun playing Good Job with my little brother a couple years ago and we hoped it would eventually get a sequel. Sad to hear they're shutting down.

Re: Talking Point: Which Games Were Just The Perfect Length?
Pretty much every 2D Metroid from Super onward. Also Star Fox 64.
Some indies that deserve a shoutout are Cave Story, Katana Zero, Furi, Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth, Ori 2, Hyper Light Drifter.
And just to mention something that's not an action game, Ghost Trick.
