@TeeLopes @GameSpot @sporkyreeve there is a weird thing in western/journalist circles where lively music in games is frowned upon or noted as 'cringe' and that's why everything AAA these days is movie orchestral or licensed music

the most vindictive thing i have to say about game production costs is that yoshi's island was one of the only games of its era with a nearly half-decade design cycle. that's a game with immaculate art and tons of content, but basically no mechanical throughline
