Things like these make might heart warm. They remind me of a time when video most games where about making a good experience for the users, not about endless MTX and soulless always online games that all try to be the same thing. Good to see that there are still some people in the industry, who carry own these principles.

The hero we deserve!

It's especially weird to have all that time dedicated to something nobody cares about. Who goes looking to see if a game or movie was made using Dolby?

Anyone with good media equipment cares.

You were down voted, yet here I am. A person who cares about surround sound options.

Sakurai is the goat.

Oh fuck I forgot about Kirby Air Ride. That game was amazing. My mom and I would get insanely competitive over it.

The hero we didn’t deserve.

You deserve it.

The only thing worse than unskipable ads are the waiting screens (press a button to continue) in front of the loading screens.

I mean, the machine is capable of billions of operations per second. Why is it waiting for ME to push a button?

So that if you leave the room to make yourself a tea or something while the game is loading, your won't miss the cut scene / beginning of the action / lose the game because it started without you present.

Dunno if you want a serious answer, but 'press start' titlescreens that start up an animation if you leave it unpressed too long are a throwback to when if a screen showed the same image for too long, it would fry the image on to the screen and leave a little ghost image, so screensavers were a screen saver. This allowed one to demo software and just leave it running without worrying about damaging the product hardware.
These days however it is totally unnecessary.

But however will it determine the player one controller .... on a desktop computer?
