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.
In a related way, I miss when box art (yes, games had boxes I'm old lolololol ) wasn't nearly so often "grizzled dudebro dragging a weapon with a trail of pretentious debris swirling or trailing around them."
Star Wing (Star Fox in the rest of the world) Had some badass IRL toy models made for the box art!)
You must be close to my age (on the younger side of the millennial spectrum)
I remember those!
In a better timeline, there'd have been a Thunderbirds-like animatronic show.
The Phalanx banjo guy was a stroke of genius
It was memorable; I still remember the name of the game and even playing it just by you saying "the banjo guy."
