I could be entirely off base with this comparison, but my immediate reaction to hearing about Nobunaga's Ambition simulating this as a mechanic was making me think of like, Dragon Ball Goku getting so strong that he katamaris up the loyalty of people he defeats.

They treat Star Fox as a showcase for technology first (FX chip, rumble pak, stylus controls, Wiiu gamepad) and really struggle to land what fans want out of a new entry
Elephant Steve looking into an abyss because of a paper sign that says "secret" written in blue. The title says Super Mario Bros wond- and is interrupted by Steve saying UH... Prince Florian has the Steve Special Badge on. Swirly Pete is on the side of a cliff, and a Skedaddler holding a bowl of Bran is standing next to a chipmunk holding an apple core SungWon is trying to keep up with David who is running fast shouting MARIO MARIO MARIO. Elvis is the Bowser castle and is floating in the background next to a tree and a blue talking flower with glasses.
I finally finished this fan poster for the Mario Wonder playthrough on @prozdplaysgames.bsky.social

The Dr. Seuss comic where on stage is a man wearing a jacket labeleld "America First" and another, fatter, meaner man wearing a Nazi Swastika on his shirt. The two are joined by a beard that connects one man's face to the other. In front of both of them is Uncle Sam as a carnival barker, who says "And on this platform, folks, those most perplexing people... the Lads with the Siamese Beard! Unrelated by blood, they are joined in a manner that mystifies the mightiest minds in the land!"
I mean erudite establishment dipshits pretending nationalism isn't *technically* racism is stuff a literal children's author was pointing out 84 goddamned years ago. The observation that only an intellectually dishonest asshole would suggest otherwise predates World War 2.
