Re: Review: Disney Classic Games: Aladdin And The Lion King - A Fine Package, But The Games Have Aged Badly

I'd go for $10 maybe but $30 is a hard ask. I know people like to turn their noses up at it, but $20 for a year of Nintendo online for quite a good pile of NES/SNES games is a great deal and kind of puts this in perspective.
Heck, $20 for either Konami Collection puts this in perspective. If they want to charge this much for genesis they need to include more games. That same price gets you 50ish games in the genesis collection. More games or lower the price. Pick one.

Something I'm not sure the anti-censorship crowd may not realise, is marketing towards regional demographics requires this. Different cultures have different social norms. The vocal group may be for the game in its original context, but most western consumers will not buy a game designed to appeal to japanese consumers. Realistically, games that are notamended to appeal to the majority won't sell as well. Look at Earthbound for example. So many things were changed to make it palatable and people loved it. If those things weren't changed, it may not have been purchased let alone appreciated.

@Zuljaras you are mistaken about the law. The original issue was somebody arrested in Hong Kong would be taken to mainland China to be tried, rather than being tried in Hong Kong where the crime took place. With mainland China having different & much stricter laws, this could mean a misdemeanor turning into a death sentence. It has since grown into a fight about freedom & democracy. Since Hong Kong is essentially its own autonomous democratic country, they don't feel like they should be governed by communist rule.

@Zuljaras (being as vague as possible so as not to discuss the p word) but you may want to read up on that user agreement, based on your comments I don't think you're picking up whats happening here. Not as simple as you stated. A bit shifty all in all.

@retro_player_22 Why is that not a good sign? Plenty of phenomenal games are (or at least were until Limited Run/Fangamer) digital only

Hollow Knight
Golf Story
Stardew Valley
Blaster Master Zero
What remains of Edith Finch
Cuphead
Braid
Undertale

Edit: Outer Wilds, Moonlighter, Creature in the Well, Yoku's Island Express
This list goes on and on. Digital only games can be great.
