Super Mario Bros. 2 was deemed too hard for American audiences, and we didn't see a console version of it until the Lost Levels.

Did you have any input to that decision?

Thank you for your reply.

Deliberate RNG, not player skill was the deciding factor. Sounds like reasonable criticism.

Do you think it was possible for Jodorowsky's Dune to have been made, thus superseding Star Wars as the definitive science fiction movie of all time?

Thank you for your reply.

It's the "opera" factor of Star Wars that makes it so fun, coupled with the over the top special effects that creates such a powerfully popular piece of cinema.

Is your name a variation of studio Ghibli's "Porco Rosso"?
