N64/Gamecube era: I'm going to hype you up with a cinamatic intro and also I'm going to render a whole interactive 3D space with a catchy theme song for my title screen and save select screens.

Modern era games: Lol heres a .png of our promotional art and a piano tinkling. No intro.

I'm getting old.

      I liked learning details about the characters or world that didn't show up in the game itself (hello, Final Fantasy 1-12). Now they just use in-game codices (hello, Final Fantasy 13-present)
