the remake/remaster looks slightly off lighting-wise but it seems like 99% of the soul is intact. Very happy to see the Mario Mandate is dead for now at least.
If you noticed they actually added new animations and sprites for all the major characters included partners that didn't have them; the intention seems to have been to meld the OG art style with the papery stuff they've been infatuated with for the last decade. Bowser even has a back sprite now when he didn't before.
The original game is probably THE GameCube game that aged the best visually so it's commendable to even try. Would be curious if any new content is adding since it's a full remake and not just a spitshine remaster.
I'm really happy that this is getting remade, but does anyone else feel they're leaving this one to die? 2024 Switch game, that's also a remake, with a new console (backward-compatible according to leaks, but still) on the horizon. Just seems like they want to prove that the post-Sticker Star direction is better in case this game sells worse than TOK
Knowing TTYD stans, however, I can see them buying several copies just for the sake of inflating sales, so
to the reviewer who said rogueport doesn't connect to anything so it doesn't feel real, it's a port town.. and the town doesn't exactly have enough citizens that would believe in a strong local government enough to build infastructure. Now, the sewers can be used for smuggling, no law abiding citizen would want to go to the sewers.

I don't think it's possible for any 1st party Nintendo game to be "left out to die" with an install base of 130+ million consoles out there...
