近日,任天堂发布了由RetroStudios开发的Wii和3DS游戏《大金刚国度:回归HD》的复刻版。然而,玩家们注意到,在更新版本中并未列出原Retro团队成员的名字。取而代之的是,作品注明是“基于RetroStudios的创作”,ForeverEntertainment团队则被列为了制作方。这一改动引起了玩家的广泛讨论,许多人认为这对原开发团队不公平,缺乏尊重。
对此,任天堂发表了一份声明,强调他们重视所有参与游戏制作人员的贡献,并认为他们应得到应有的认可。但声明并未详细解释为何原团队成员未出现在演职员表上,这并非首次发生此类情况。例如,在2023年,《银河战士Prime》复刻版中就没有包含背后RetroStudios开发者的姓名;去年也有外部译者对未署名表示不满。
