Post terrible video game redesigns here!

Here are several I really dislike:

Bomberman

Dante

Spyro

Honorable mention (but it's not as fanbase splitting as the aforementioned)

Wait, wait, are you implying that there were fans who didn't absolutely hate the new Dante?

Um...yes

Even if it is mathematically impossible.
 
I guess picking from an unofficial strategy guide is cheating, but fuck it, I love this picture:

Also...gotta mention bad boxart Megaman

I'll cheat too. Check out this masterful pic of Samus in a calendar.

There aren't any character redesigns I particularly hate... aside from Skylanders Spyro, I even prefer the new Yoshi design since it seems more fitting(?) for a 3D art style (that's probably not the best way to describe it).

Sonic Boom did however get my biggest WTF reaction I had given in a long time initially, I don't really hate Sonic Boom's redesigns they're just so jarringly different from the original compared to most other things I focus on.

I'm actually ambivalent to Knuckle's redesign: Sonic characters have like all the same physique so it's a nice change from the template formula of skinny arms and skinny legs

Sonic, however, is really unnecessarily too long. Geez he's like part spider now.

I freaking hate this redesign too. Ugh. Tiny used to be a small little Kong, now she's some sort of tall, teenager. How come she has aged while the other Kongs don't? I don't get this. She's not even tiny anymore.
 
I like the new Yoshi design.

Also old man Sub Zero from mortal kombat deadly alliance.
