I'd complain about Capcom releasing what are essentially expansions as full releases but I have a feeling if they went with dlc they would find a way to be even scummier.

So I caved to the art style and bought/beat wonderboy, and was amused in hindsight that it's literally an inverted shovel knight. It's not bad, but definitely a little opaque at points, and suffers from not touching any more recent game design principles. I do feel pretty good about being able to beat it without touching any guides/faqs for it, though.

Also, whoever said "you don't need to grind", you were technically correct in that you can beat the game without grinding, but there is definitely some grinding that needs to happen if you want to buy everything from every store eventually.

It got shelved after an unpopular experimental title called Dragon Quarter (the fifth game) during the PS2 era. Recently they released an incredibly awful mobile game to milk some nostalgia dollars, but the series has been dead for fifteen years now.

The only time I really missed the DS castlevania standard of "save and heal outside the boss room" was before the Daimyo Dragon. and then on my 3rd attempt I found a hidden door with a full heal and a potion to the right of the boss door :facepalm:

There's a transform point in the town you can uncover by destroying a block in one of the buildings. I assume you got the block destroying power, I think you have to in order to use the escape door.

Don't blame Nicalis for that either, as Edmund Miller was the original Dev.

The Switch port looks just as lovely as the PC version if that's what you're asking. (it's a very fun game though!)

edit: The original Flash version looked lovely in a different way.

what would an N64 mini even look like, I can barely come up with 20 games when you take away a bunch of Rare and Lucasarts poo poo:

Super Mario 64
Mario Golf
Mario Kart 64
Paper Mario
F-Zero X
Super Smash Bros
Ocarina of Time
Majora's Mask
Harvest Moon 64
Yoshi's Story
Mischief Makers
Ogre Battle 64
1080 Snowboarding
Pilotwings
Wave Race 64
Resident Evil 2
Star Fox 64
Sin and Punishment

The only choice I'd say is out there is Mischief Makers since Treasure is in a coma but all things considered, this wouldn't be a bad lineup.

Dragons Trap is a 1:1 remake of an 80s game with 80s design principles. It's still very good, but you're going to have to live with that playstyle (Grinding + no checkpoints + etc)

Blaster Master Zero is a homage to the original, and is just a rock solid all around game. Lots of QOL inclusions make it an enjoyable experience from start to finish.

Both games are technically metroidvanias.
Both have their strong and weak points

If you asked me to choose between the 2, I would have to recommend Blaster Master Zero.
It's an absolute treat.
(Afterwards you should grab Dragon's Trap as well, as it is still an excellent game; just for entirely different reasons)

it looks the same as it does on other platforms, with the exception being there's a "filter" option that the other platforms have, that the switch does not.
