Because I don't have much nostalgia for old NES/SNES games or their music.

why do you need nostalgia to appreciate a style like regardless of what it's rooted in it just looks good. like it's real vibrant and colorful but it's pixelated so that doesn't matter?

Wow I haven't played this game since the new patch and, according to the patch notes, there's no overworld mobs in the second half of the game if you don't kill Reize. That's... really good for speed running.

Getting snagged by a bad encounter in the last set of levels would bury a good run on the spot.

He doesn't need to really, he's got a solid couch to do the work for him.

Well there are a huge amount of references. Gameplay itself is more like Mega Man, but style-wise it borrows a lot from Castlevania.

Cause that level was a clocktower (a staple of Castlevania games) and had enemies that moved just like the infamous medusa heads.

It feels much more Mega Man than Castlevania to me, but I can see the references to it.

Yeah, I think MegaMan -- or, actually, Bionic Commando. But no matter what, it's excellent.

Yeah, the platforming stages are pretty straightforward, but he's making the bosses look trivial, when most of them have terribly hard phases.

If the guy in the middle hadn't tried to talk over everyone for the whole game then it would have been one of the better runs of the marathon. Still great, but not BBT tier.
