For once Konami gets credit for basic decency I guess. Wooo.
Reminds me of the assholes at Capcom who once removed a big part of Okami’s ending because “it was a movie with Clover’s logo on it, and we had no right to use that logo on a game they didn’t directly work on”.
Clover, the studio that they’d close up for financial reasons a few years before and who made the full fucking game to begin with. But you know, they didn’t work on the mostly straight port.
So they did plan more than that originally, that explains why I was confused about it.
It’s a shame though, a reboot would have been interesting. It’s not like you can’t play the original games anymore.
