I'm sincerely and genuinely happy that you got something you like, but man.. it's like saying.. days are as centuries and eons, because we have hours and minutes and seconds! That's not right.. fraction of a fraction is not like a whole.
And honestly, I'm not in board with that whole list to begin with.. (Inklings however are 1st party, they do what they want).
And man, what test of time? it's a single console cycle. Mario, stood up the test of time. Sonic, Pac-Man, Mega Man, Tetris.. etc., those who hit 30 years plus in gaming are what would you call that... and let's not forget that they did it before the internet, before social media, before free gaming, before.. and before.. etc. That, took a lot more than what MC did.
Again, like I said.. yeah, it was all about "money", nothing else. And I don't like that, because if that was inevitable, then as I said, the inevitable next is Fortnite, Call of Duty and the likes of. The games that have "zero" need of exposure, zero need of revival. If top games keep taking all the places, what chance small fries stand. Away from my dear example "Goemon", let's take Suda for example. the CEO of 20 employee studio got.. a Mii costume! I'm not a No More Heroes fan, but I'll say, that felt bad.. he got crumbs of crumbs.. despite being so Nintendo focused this Gen.!
Man, MC doesn't need the praise.. it wasn't ever called for Smash BUT later in this Smash Gen., and for all the wrong reasons too (memes, spite.. whatever)..
I personally think it did not deserve the place, and definitely didn't need it.
Oh well, spilled milk. It's not going to change a thing. I just want my Goemon in, nothing else.
