Yeah, time to see if the death of TMR's Nes Mania for the last two months was worth it.


Edit: Wait, TMR's not even in the race? That's dissapointing.

Almost all the NES Block was fun. Gimmick, Lawnmower race, Blaster Master glitched to hell, Battletoads Coop, River City Ransom, etc. Goof Troop race was sweet too.

Some great childhood memories watching this race. Definitely one of the top games for me of that generation.

Yeah Super Castlevania has a amazing soundtrack for a launch SNES game. There is a lot of great songs but I always love this track that appears in the boss gaunlet leading up to Death.

Racers didn't talk much, it's a generally kinda boring game to watch, and it was a 100% race so you got to watch them do three laps on every track three times on three separate screens.

It was DKR overload.

I was going to say that this is brutally close, but I guess the upper-right guy likes high risk strategies. Which just makes it more exciting, I guess.

I usually buy a t-shirt or two each marathon but I wish the colour variety was a bit better. I like the Save/Kill The Animals design the best by far but it's black, and I like the Bomber's Code colour the best but never played Zelda growing up so it has no meaning to me at all and getting two black/near black t-shirts seems a bit much considering I just gave like 5 away since I had too many.

Yep, he's essentially one death ahead (or about six normal mistakes). I don't see it happening on level 9 (you have to work to die on level 9 even playing normally), but there's still a few nasty places to go.

This is my situation every *GDQ. I've started getting shirts with references I don't even particularly care about just because it's not a black or dark-blue shirt.

The commentary isn't bad, but I was hoping that after Super Metroid last year that that would be the new benchmark, I don't really know CV4 and they're not really explaining it that well.

Wait what? There's a TPP bot they're planning on running? That doesn't sound like a great idea. Even if you're just gonna give chat like 30min to get as far as possible.

It's the other way around. I guess you didn't see the TAS block.

Current host said it backwards. The plan is some extension of the Pokemon Plays Twitch chat thing they did before, just crazier somehow.

Yeah. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Kid:_Fortress_of_Peril

quote:

Battle Kid: Fortress Of Peril[1] is a homebrew 2D platform video game, released in February 2010 for the Nintendo Entertainment System, created by Sivak Games,[2][3] and published through Retrozone with the cover art designed by Larry Bundy Jr. Unlike most games in the modern era, Battle Kid is available for purchase only on a physical NES cartridge. While there has been a demand for a downloadable version, the developer has stated that the game is currently not planned to be released on any other formats due to a contract with Retrozone.
