The “Why hasn’t the company capitalized on these clearly marketable video game mascots despite being full aware that Japan goes insane for cute mascots?” starter pack:
I never really liked Rare’s tactic of developing a new game only to rework it into something entirely different.
Sure, the Banjo & Conker we know today exist because of these changes but I feel like they could’ve co-existed with Project Dream and Twelve Tales respectively.
Remember when Sticks’ concept art was first shown and everyone thought it was a redesign of Marine making her return for Boom?
Bomberman is peak video game character design.
I don’t even know what he’s supposed to be, some chibi white ninja with giant beady eyes and pink balls for hands? It just shows how distinctive of a mascot he is.
Honestly, Thrash was based.
He felt like an excuse to vent about Ken Penders’ ridiculous obsession with Echidnas and his copyright bullshit.
I love how the redesign of Ray’s shoes is the closest we’ll ever get to Archie being acknowledged and canonized into the games.
(Not counting the Satam cameos in Spinball)
Better add GA to the “cartoons Twitter obsesses over for a month or two until it dies off” list.
Why have we NOT gotten a full 3D Mega Man game in the style of the Ratchet & Clank series yet?
The formula would fit so well with the platforming, bolt collecting, shooting and weapon selection, it’s all perfectly in sync to work.
