Retro gaming communities are vibrant, with events like the Classic Gaming Expo celebrating the history and culture of these old-school titles. Some retro games, like Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda, have had a lasting influence on game design, with mechanics and innovation that are still seen today. Retro games are also renowned for their challenging difficulty, often requiring more precision and patience, and many players are eager to play retro games for that sense of accomplishment which modern games sometimes lack due to their focus on accessibility.

You may have noticed this in the previous wide shot of the studio or seen it elsewhere as the link photo is pretty iconic link but yes all the work is still "supervised" by Philippe Dufour or at least in spirit. link The team keeps a photo of the Swiss master sitting over their work benches a totem or shrine of sorts to the man who helped convey a lot of the techniques used in the studio. link
