The 90s was a great time to be a kid and a gamer. Some might argue it was the best time for gaming—there were no micro-transactions or online passes, and heavy hitters like Nintendo, Sega and Square Enix were knocking them out of the park with every release.
Talk to any gamer in their twenties now about their top favorite games and it's practically guaranteed they'll go into a nostalgia-tinged rant about a Mario, Pokémon or Final Fantasy game from the 90s. And rightfully so, since those were some of the best games ever made.

Only if they're good, if its going to be a 2D sprite art game, you can get away with a small team and small budget. But if you're going to make it a 3D polygonal game, you're going to need a large team with a large budget, and often times these licensed games are quickly pushed out the door, unpolished, rough, boring, bland, snorefest at best, and downright broken at worst.
