@RangoTheMerc@David_Wise I've been looking for whatever song had this opening melody for years now! I always figured it was a DKC track but never thought to check the GBC port. Incredible that it stuck in my mind for so long (played this version 15+ years ago), speaks to David's incredible work.
@genowurl@MarioBrothBlog It was a GameCube launch title and discs were brand new for Nintendo, so not too shocking that they didn't need/use more space I don't think. All cutscenes are in-engine so no FMVs either (other than the Pikmon ad)
@phathom@ackiesruth@TakiUdon_ It's not going to be that style of laptop drive where you hit eject and it pops out an inch and you have to pull it the rest of the way, is it?
@ackiesruth@TakiUdon_ The prototype they showed initially looked like a slot loading drive, so I'm slightly disappointed. Will live with a tray obviously.
@alexaugerdev I agree with your points about intentionality and the pros and cons of this approach, and you got some really mean spirited or ignorant replies, but please if you can just mute the thread at this point and log off, it's not worth your mental energy to argue further
