Regardless of how absurdly overblown the Iizuka hate was in the post you were replying to (and also noting they you are merely making a hypothetical argument on his behalf), Iizuka was at least nominally the head of the studio that developed Forces (even if he wasn't present for much of its development in favor of supervising Mania's development). It seems a stretch to say Naka was even that much when Iizuka was in charge of the series' output the first time.

Holy shit, World of Illusion

I'm shocked by this new development.

Kale is the literal fucking worst. Why would I want fucking Fluttershy in my "punching people in the face" anime; and worse, one who transforms into someone who is basically name checked as possibly being (and acting fully like) the bad Broly every time she's ignored for being too useless in the "punching people in the face" anime. Caulifla, however, is excellent. Super Saiyan Revy, pretty much.

It's a shame you will never be able to enjoy the Walt Disney classic films Aladdin or The Little Mermaid.

That says no S.C.E., at least. That's kind of a shame; but there's no other game that immediately comes to mind that would suffer so drastically.

This is a pretty good list so far. Altered Beast is still of course a piece of shit, but it's probably a requirement to include it since it was the only thing holding the fort for the console's first year.

Metro was nearly as big of a game and it already happened with it.

Randy Pitchford. 2K's sister publishing studio just pulled that shit last week with The Outer Worlds. I would be more surprised if Epic didn't throw a pile of money at 2K to make it Epic Games Store exclusive than I would if they did.

Boobs are good.

So how long until they announce it's exclusive to Epic?

As someone who only started playing Shantae with this game a few months ago, I don't think "aged" is the problem with it so much as it's just clunky in general. It can be confusing to navigate levels already because of how they're tiered, and the map system if anything makes it harder. Especially early on, there's a real sense of just not understanding what you need to do to proceed.

Except... uh... Both games ran off the Renderware engine, both were deliberately designed to be easily ported, they presumably still have the source code, both games were on OG Xbox, they already have a good PC port of one of them that they could learn from, and there are countless professional game development studios who exist for that reason alone. It wouldn't be hard for Sega to do it, at all. The actual reason probably is that Sega doesn't want to remind everyone it exists, even if there is a market for it (which I'd question) since as you note it is infamously shit; but this isn't "porting Orange Box to PS3" we're talking about here. The contemporary port of Heroes runs better on modern hardware than the 6 year newer port of Adventure 2 that is on Steam.
