Have you read the act zero of Rurouni Kenshin? It features some new characters, and we've seen two of them in the Hokkaido Arc. If you have not read yet, buy Volume 1 of the Tokuitsuban manga.

Random Sailor Moon Trivia:

All four of the actors who played the Shitennou in the live-action series had cameo roles as police officers in the direct-to-video prequel episode “Act Zero - The Birth of Sailor V.”

Which would you say was a worse reboot: BK: N&B, Sonic 06, Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures or Bomberman: Act Zero?

Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts isn’t really an awful reboot. I mean, yeah, it’s not the Banjo 3 people wanted, but it was a different time and different people were funding the project. Classic 3D platformers didn’t look very financially viable. Remember, marketing is nonsense and when you have millions of voices all screaming it’s hard to understand what they actually want. I’d be thankful a new Banjo game came out in 2008 at all because the alternative was nothing. I’d definitely take N&B over having nothing. N&B was pretty fun until the last two worlds became overwhelmingly big.

Ghostly Adventures isn’t a terrible reboot either. It’s just kind of bland. It’s a desperate attempt to make Pac-man “hip with the kids” again, designed by a committee who thinks they know what children like (again: marketing is nonsense and nobody actually understands it). You don’t have to like it, I don’t have to like it, but it exists because Namco needed to refresh interest in their “brand” and you could definitely do it in worse ways.

Sonic 06 is pretty embarrassing, but it is the end point in a direction Sonic games had been moving towards for a while. Sonic games had been taking themselves way too seriously for quite a while at that point because somebody at Sonic Team had it in their heads that those games needed to deal with serious themes (in the most hamfisted way possible). After Sonic Adventure 2 and Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic 06 was actually kind of just business as usual, and business was awful.

Bomberman Act Zero is such a comically ridiculous left turn for everything that franchise ever is or was. It’s like if Nintendo announced that the next Kirby game would be a scary science fiction game and M-rated to appeal to western audiences. Konami was completely out of their minds on every single possible conceivable level to think that’s what anyone wanted out of Bomberman. Honestly, looking back, Bomberman Act Zero cast a shadow on almost everything Konami did last gen. They systematically killed off almost every single franchise they had because all of their classic franchises were rebooted in to complete nonsense. Silent Hill Home Coming and Downpour, turning Gradius in to Otomedius, Castlevania Lords of Shadow, the crap jobs they did on their HD collections… then there were crummy original games like Neverdead and Blades of Time…

Literally the only thing Konami did right last gen was Silent Hill Shattered Memories and Metal Gear Solid, and I’m sure there’s some intense debate on even that.

Bomberman Act Zero was a herald of things to come. It really is the worst.
