I really liked how they modernised their classic N64 design. Better than that design from a certain game by Microsoft.

The odd thing is that the side characters and Gruntilda are more appropriately designed. It's pretty much only Banjo and Kazooie that are unnecessarily realistic.

Thank you for reading.
 
Many remakes and redesigns are plagued by the developers deciding to make completely unnecessary design changes for said design changes' own sake, especially if they outright clash with the establish aesthetic. HAL Labs understands that this is hot garbage and doesn't do it, but I am concerned about the upcoming Spongebob remake as it seems to be diving headfirst into this pitfall...

Out of curiosity, but are there any accounts of the HAL developers mentioning their decision to stick with a consistent design (interviews would do), or is this something you assume since HAL's IPs never gone to that direction?

Thank you for reading.

What would a realistic Kirby even look like? A literal ball of cotton candy?

That would be the best case scenario, given how other people interpreted a realistic Kirby.

I'm refering to "Other than Kirby, HAL Labs makes Smash and they never do anything like that aside for like Battlefield and Final Destination, which aren't characters."

The only example I can think of is them giving Dedede those tan drapes, which they ended up using in the main series anyways.

What you have mentioned sounds interesting. This is from one of Sakurai's journal entries, isn't it?

HAL hasn't been involved with the development of the series since Brawl.
 
Oh really? I thought the reason they kept getting among top billing in the credits was that they still worked on it....OK, well "the team of developers who do Smash Bros." how's that?
