@darylb24 all the main writers and the creator of the setting are gone. they're the load-bearing ones for why Disco Elysium was so unique and got such rave reviews, they're the ones that most of the 'Disco-alikes' are trying to ape - including this one from ZA/UM
Speedball 2 was tremendous, only the pre-3D Sensible Soccer games match it from that era for pick-up-and-play arcade sports. Hopefully this will be the first sequel/revival/spiritual successor to nail the feel
The World Cup has been in at least the last 29 Sports Interactive games dating back to Championship Manager 2. Given that the game won't have international management on Day 1 (patched in later as per this article) it's actually the first since the CM1-engine games that WON'T have it playable on release
The official licence will make it look fancier, especially for console players who can't mod it day 1 like the core PC userbase, but it's a shame all the gaming press headlines are stuff like "add the World Cup". I first won it in CM 00/01 25 years ago!

Re: Marvel MaXimum Collection (PS5) - A Retro Comic Book Beat-'Em-Up Bonanza
SNES version of Cap & The Avengers is a REALLY bad conversion, would only have been interesting as a cautionary tale sort of inclusion in fairness
most of the single format 16 bit Marvel games were better than the multiformat ones included here
