What do you think of localizations that change the theme of the game?

I think dr. Robotniks lean green mean bean fighting machine is the best puyo puyo

honestly, i prefer the American version of all the games you posted, they are way more iconic, like Kirby's Avalanche. Plus it's like having 2 games instead of one

always thought the robotnik/puyo rock background looked like fat nasty trash

I'm generally fine with them as long as they're on a non-region locked system (so nobody's being deprived of the original) and they add new content.
My favorite game like that is easily Elite Beat Agents, which is arguably better than the game it's a localization of.

Since when is Kirby's Avalanche iconic? Has that word lost all meaning?

>> No.9667276

>>9664824
As much as I love Yoshi and Kirby and agree that at the time they were more iconic than anime girls, but who knows what would've happened if they stuck with the anime girls. They could've became big-name Nintendo/Sega characters.
I also think going from Yoshi to Pokemon hurt it's brand identity or some shit. But it's all hypothetical, who knows. I just wish Nintendo would make a new Panel De Pon, Dr. Mario blows in comparison yet they keep making Dr. Mario's

>how can I identify with the game if I can't pretend to be friends with smiling cartoon little girls while I play?
