Off the top of my head...
Similar to Gaiden, Raiden isn't "Ray-den", it's "Rye-den". That's a super common mispronunciation.
Also... Gradius rhymes with gladius. It's not "Gray-dius"
This one no one can really be faulted for: In Japan, the z is silent in BlazBlue.
What are some of your favorite indie PC games that you feel have gone mostly unnoticed? I feel like I have far too many examples of this to list, but the Captain Forever series by Farbs is perhaps my best example.
The quality of graphics only matter when it pulls you out of a game. Heck, I used to get immersed in even text-based games.
Sometimes simplistic graphics are better because they leave things to the imagination. Sometimes your imagination is far cooler than anything a concept artist can cook up...
I agree with the Bombcast guys that this sounds like the Kickstarter of people who don't quite know what they're doing... or worse.
Plus, I can't really get behind bringing back something for the sake of cheesiness. I rather put my money in to actual quality games.
