I get that Doom or Sonic 2 or Goldeneye or other 90s games aren’t guaranteed a place every year

FWIW Sonic 2 was the game that kicked things off this year.

But also I think the goal should be either showing off new tricks or showing off new games. Older games are going to have fewer new tricks. Obviously sometimes a barrier is broken or a new category is put together that has interesting gameplay, but in general we probably will see fewer old games.

That isn’t to say that old games should go away completely, but if there is a bias towards newer games, it makes sense.
