Man it's kind of creepy seeing everybody ELSE happy with a new episode of Kamen Rider too for a change.

I really think it's more a result of simplifying for the sake of the motif than Toei being out of touch. Ghost reduced historical figures to coats and one word powers ("music!", "electricity!", "swords!"), for comparison. The retro flair makes the games very clearly GAMES! in a way being too modern and accurate wouldn't allow. Games today are complicated multi-genre adventures whereas for Ex-Aid they needed something as simple as "platformer!" (which barely even exist anymore but it was a logical choice for the protagonist) or "racer!" (though it would be hilarious if we see Emu have to buy a season pass to unlock Lazer ) for the different Riders.
