Summary The way companies trade IPs likePokemoncards, you’d think that this was always the norm within the industry. However, back when the industry was recovering from the crash of 1983, companies were a little more protective of their first-party titles.

Horroris one of the most popular genres of video games. It’s understandable why, too. Heart-pounding scenarios, landscapes, and monsters become all the more frightful when combined with the immersion that gaming provides. Perhaps even too frightful.

While there are good launch games and bad launch games — and even the occasional great launch game — the vast majority of titles to come out alongside a gaming system end up being just… meh. So many launch games have been forgotten to history over the years, not necessarily because of their quality, but simply because they couldn’t leave a lasting impact for a number of reasons.

Earlier this week, I wrote about the cover ofPokemon Colosseum. Nobody seems to knowwhy Groudon and Kyogre grace its front, as you’re able to’t catch them in the game. It’s probably just marketing, to signal that Gen 3 Pokemon can be caught in Orre, but it seems misleading all the same. This got me thinking about Pokemon’s GameCube experiment. Building on the success of the Stadium games with a fully-fledged RPG, there’s a lot to love about Colosseum and its successor, Gale of Darkness....
