Several inaccurate details just in the first couple of paragraphs: conflating remakes with preservation, citing a localization change as an "original" subtitle, and crediting Nintendo for third-party productions. I realize video game press is not known for its rigor but the more I read Polygon the less I can take it seriously.
- djur 3y ago"1996 Super Nintendo game, originally subtitled Legend of the Seven Stars" Is this what you're referring to? The original SNES release did have that subtitle: http://thevideogameproject.com/suprpgsnesdisplayonly.html http://thevideogameproject.com/suprpgsnesdisplayonly.html
- goosedragons 3y agoThe Japanese release had no subtitle.
- djur 3y agoThe Japanese release was for the Super Famicom. It is reasonable and correct in this context to use "original" to refer to the English localization, especially since the game was released almost simultaneously in both markets.
- goosedragons 3y agoThe subtitle was added in localization. It's not incorrect to call it a localization change.
- vinberdon 3y agoPolygon has always been pretty awful.
