I'm no expert but this sounds like the opposite of preservation. Let me use the old technology to play games in the old ways! Perhaps use the new tech to just let me do the same old stuff.

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. A PADD is shown up close held by a pair of hands. (Kind of looks like an old palm pilot and if you're not old this will mean nothing to you) 
The beautiful LCARS user interface is displaying the text, "GO AWAY."

only smaller by comparison, of course! DQ is definitely big on its own esp. in Japan

To a wider casual audience, it's Pokemon meets Animal Crossing. For a smaller hardcore audience, it's a new Dragon Quest Builders. Wins all around, I think.

Bonus: one still in its 1997 original paint job.

That's a wildly blunt messaging choice.

Anakin Padme meme.
That's such a great satire. It is satire, right? RIGHT?

This fast food CEOs bite burgers thing feels ripped from early 2010s social media and is entirely insufficient against anxiety over today's horrors

I cannot emphasize enough that these people are being laid off for failing to do things that are literally impossible

Who was disguised as a harmless sidekick the whole time, but was actually gathering enemy intel. Yes it's time for a Tingle heel turn

Wild how Joe is Hungry's budget seemed to go up by 500% since I last saw a video yet the content and vibe are exactly the same (complimentary)

The 2002 RE1 Remake is still really, really good imo (though I speak as someone who considers it a formative game back when it launched)

I just realized you clarified that in the first post, sorry I think I was just stunlocked by the initial premise

I'm not an anti yellow paint guy, but putting it on a bright red barrel is a bit much. (From RE4 Remake)

Fun thing to think about very briefly: who currently has better lawyers, the United States or Nintendo

Added context: Nintendo is not alone. Other companies that have sued over Trump's tariffs recently include FedEx, UPS, Barnes & Noble, Costco, Revlon, Prada, Staples...

In terms of gaming companies, I haven't seen others

Really enjoyed Resident Evil Requiem so went back to the RE4 Remake. Wow, some of the encounters, and a lot of the boss fights in that game suck!

They really didn't know how to write around the limited Japanese Sentai footage to make a coherent story. Then again, it's not as if that got in the way of their success. Also Jason David Frank had a top five ever villain laugh.

Every once in a while I find myself watching the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers show and every time my opinion of the show itself gets slightly worse
