  • I agree, with one small caveat: Capcom actually made the Mega Man Battle Network games better through their collection - and while I’m sure those QoL features could have been implemented in ROMhacks (and I’m happy with emulation), I don’t begrudge anyone who has it. I’ve also bought the Mega Man & Zero collection carts for 3DS, because I wanted to play them specifically on that device.

    Konami, shockingly, also did right by fans with the Yugioh Early Days collection, since they brought over a game that wasn’t translated (and the fan translation isn’t perfect) in Capsule Monsters, and I’m pretty sure there’s other improvements as well. Again I’m satisfied with emulation on those games, but I can’t bring myself to despise people who have bought the collection.

    But that’s two or three examples against however many.

    But I want to know how far back your outlook on this goes: Super Mario All-Stars (+ Super Mario World) is notable for bringing all 4 NES Mario games to SNES. It’s arguably a remaster collection. Should people have been as enthusiastic about it at the time? Or how about the first of these from Konami - Ninja Gaiden Trilogy?

    Where does the line get drawn?
















  • At the time I went to college, I planned to become a librarian. 2008 happened when I was graduating and looking at getting into a library so I could qualify for a scholarship on my master’s, and things didn’t work out. I’m now in marketing. I don’t know if I’m using anything from college or not anymore, because it’s been 15 years and it’s just a blur.

    I had a career plan to make college worth the money and time. The economy fell apart just in time for that to be impossible. I was struggling until about 2017, when I briefly got into private education.
