They didn't make any more Popful Mail because not-Megumi and crew were too expensive and the devs were bleeding money from every oraphice cuz they didn't do consoles, so quintent left?

Really doesn't make sense w hy they made two Kaze no Xanadu games, and just kept rapidly churning out Legend of Heroes yet Popufl Mail was just WHOOPSIE'd out of existence. . .

What's so shitty about Inti? They make a lot of good shit, did a god-tier reboot of a NES game, even unfucked Inafune's dumpster fire with psuedo-demake spinoff.

plus they're people that still care about pixel art in 2D platformers, especially from the NES and GBA.
among the carefully budgeted games they sell, they still put their buck on extra goodies too.

Yeah for some hipsters it's cool to hate on Inti (I've heard them called "the japanese wayforward" which doesn't really fit, wayforward shits out way more mediocre trash than inti), but they don't really deserve it. Occasionally they stumble and produce mediocre games, but if you follow some of their franchises you can see a genuine line going up where they improve even their worst games over time.

Blaster Master Zero 2 was for example a TREMENDOUS mechanical improvement over the first game. Likewise the Luminous Avenger series distilled everything people were hoping the tepid Gunvolt would be.

Even their actual /vr/ content like Mega Man Zero improved with each game, the first one being the worst and subsequent titles being stellar.

They should've gone through with the plan of localizing the game as Sister Sonic. We were robbed.

Leotards were effective in old games because they conveyed the human form well even with limited pixels and colors. It made it easy to distinguish characters' arms and legs from their torso so they didn't end up looking like a random blob.
