I mean… it was pretty underwhelming. They basically slapped on that overused “neon remaster” aesthetic that a bunch of older revivals have leaned on, cranked up the speed a bit, and called it a day. No real innovation, no fresh ideas, just a faster, flashier version of something we’ve already seen.

Its nice they are making this origins collection. Which leads me to thinking they will have another that will include 4, 5, Galaxies, Gaiden and Rebirth.
