[Character Studies is a series about videogame characteres talking about videogames. It used to be calledSundays with Sagat, but then we had to fire Sagat because he was unprofessional towards a famous person.]
You my remember Kyo and his maybe-girlfriend from afew weeks ago. Now he’s back, and this time, he’s got more than just Sagat on his mind.
The battle between the remake and the reinvention of a game series is ongoing. Would Nintendo have been better off makingOther Ma traditional 2D platformer instead of a platformer/beat ’em up/FPS hybrid? WouldTMNT: Turtles in Time Reshelledhave been more appealing if it looked more like the arcade original? ShouldMega Man 10have looked more likeHard Corps Extraction? ShouldHard Corps Extractionlook more likeContra 4?
These types of questions are like looking at a reflection of a reflection of a reflection, and Kyo doesn’t claim to have any easy answers. Instead, he approaches the subject with a level of neutrality and respect rarely seen on the internet. He also knows how to take a beating.
