Them's Fighting Herds was originally going to be a My Little Pony fan game called Fighting is Magic. After it began to get some positive attention among the fighting game community, Hasbro issued a C&D against the development team. Undeterred, they rebranded the game and launched a crowdfunding campaign. They even got Lauren Faust, the creator of Friendship is Magic, to design the new characters and write the backstory for the game. Meanwhile, Lab Zero, developers of Skullgirls, offered use of their game engine to the team.

Darkstalkers was originally supposed to be a licensed fighting game featuring Universal Studios classic monsters like Count Dracula and Frankenstein's Creature, but licensing rights got in the way, so they made it a original game instead. The original idea's influences can still be felt as some of the game's roster are classic monsters like Dimitri the vampire, Jon Talbain the werewolf and Anakaris the mummy.

Similar to the Doom and Donkey Kong examples, I've read, at least, that the Ace Attorney series was originally meant to be a video game adaptation of the adventures of the classic literature and TV defense attorney, Perry Mason, but they couldn't get the rights, so they decided to introduce some magic-related plot shenanigans into the mix and made an original IP instead. This is also why the court process in the game universe is called the "Initial Trial System" despite the trials being the final word, because most Perry Mason cases are not actual trials, but pretrial hearings.

@jardex2275 6 месяцев назад

They also kept the location ambiguous in the first game, in case they decided to localize it for Western audiences. When that didn't initially happen they added more Asian influence to subsequent games.

following on from the mario origins, one of the bosses in Splatoon 3’s story mode is a big reference to one of Mario Sunshine’s bosses! From the silhouette of a ray on the floor to the swirling ink colour, it’s quite the loving homage. The silhouette even splits like the original too. Now that I know about the discussions to make the original game a mario spin-off, it definitely makes more sense. The story of that campaign also goes deeper into the whole “humans died over 10,000 years ago due to world wars, natural disasters, and rising sea levels, and tried multiple times to preserve their lives and avoid their ultimate fate” thing :)

The Splatoon games have so much style and soul to them, I'm really really glad the didn't end up on the route of being yet another Mario etc game. Granted, I have only played Splatoon 3, but I challenge anyone to find another multiplayer "shooter" with as high a skill ceiling, as much strategic depth, and as fluid movement and mobility as it has, not to mention all be set to some incredibly slapping music. . Given how much of a cultural phenomenon Splatoon has become in Japan as well has having a decent fan / player base all over the world, Nintendo definitely made the right choice.

Do you know the game Battalion Wars? Well it started out as sequel to the popular (and very enjoyable) Advance Wars but instead of a tactical fire-emblem like game, it was a unit managing, third person shooter. They showed off the trailer for this Advance Wars 3 but public outcry stated that if they were going to get an Advance Wars, then it should be like the other two. Instead of just scrapping the whole project, Advance Wars 3 was repurposed into Battalion Wars. A great and very underrated series.

@magentawool2556 4 месяца назад

I liked goldeneye a lot more, personally. The controls seemed better, it had more unique feeling guns, and it had a sense of humor you don't often see in games anymore. That's not to say you're wrong, though. The maps, weapons, bots, and etc are all improved in perfect dark, and it seems really fun as well. It even has a lot of the goldeneye humor. I just like goldeneye so much because of nostalgia probably.

So I don't know about the 'iconic' status of the original game, but I know that The Talos Principle started off as Croteam testing new mechanics and systems for Serious Sam 4, but as development progressed, they realized that it wasn't really keeping in the feel of the Serious Sam title and ended up setting SS4 aside to work on a more cerebral puzzler that's now spawned a sequel with a really engaging storyline. Even if The Talos Principle and The Talos Principle 2 (and technically, the teaser Sigil of Elohim) aren't in line with this video's theme, it's definitely worth a look and a note in my book.

Saint's Row is so good because it takes the main appeal of Grand Theft Auto, being the ability to walk around freely and kill, hurt, and steal from anybody you want, and bumped it up to the next logical step. Like, what is the one thing that can make killing, hurting, and stealing from anybody you want more fun? How about the ability to kill, hurt, and steal from anybody you want with a gun that shoots.......... dubstep? Basically, they took a silly concept and took it to the silliest extreme. The series started out earnestly enough, but by the third Saints Row, it's almost like the series became a parody of Grand Theft Auto and it's gameplay style, it ended up being a great example of a non GTA game with that formula. Kind of like how "Song 2" by Blur was written specifically to mock grunge and it's scene, but in the end, the song ironically became one of the greatest grunge songs ever recorded.

Did someone at OxBox get stung by the Godus early access? Because I did so I verrrry much appreciated the use of the XBLA version of Perfect Dark where its Peter Molyneux getting slapped around the chops with a Falcon 2.

Sleeping Dogs was great, and a worthy successor to the True Crime games, but I won't have anyone talking bad about them. True Crime were so much more than "GTA but you play as the cops", with some really fun martial arts based gameplay, and a branching storyline with multiple endings. Personally, I always preferred them over GTA, though I'm sure I'm in the minority there.

Weird to think that in the multiverse next door a massive Popeye theme park has just opened outside Tokyo.
