I can’t think of the red Gyarados the same after playing a Crystal randomizer with some friends because it ended up getting replaced with a fucking Sunkern. Now I forever live with the mental image of the Gyarados being a mech with a Sunkern in the cockpit.
By the way, for people who have never seen or heard of Cyberbots, it has one of the rawest iterations of Akuma to date, that being a giant mech version of him.
Hell, you want a good example? All of the MegaMan collections. These are some of the easiest to emulate games around and yet THEY STILL SOLD WELL! People want the convenience factor and presentation, they will buy it even if they can get it for free!
