The thing I most remember from Sonic 1 is the block pushing. The Master System version is a better game (but still weird for a Sonic game.)

castlevania for the x68000 is insanely mean, every hit starts taking out a quarter of your life from like stage 3 on

If you play the remix version on Castlevania Chronicles it makes it easier.

get the switch version because it has some extras
It physically pains me that IntiCreates straight up abandoned PC development :( I still check every once in awhile but it basically boiled down that Gunvolt bombed on Steam. They never backported the Gunvolt 2 stuff to 1 on Steam which is pretty significant so, yeah, get the Switch version.

There are tons of classic series I never really played. Could someone recommend a decent starting point for each one?

Dragon Quest, Mega Man, Sonic, pre-SotN Castlevania
Dragon Quest whatever the DS remakes are (lots of grinding though). Mega Man 3 (then play 2).

Castlevania 1 but skip as soon as you get frustrated of it to 3, then do the same with Rondo. If that's not your bag try Super Castlevania IV and then the Genesis one but if nothing sticks it's just not your type of game. Rondo also has a very good PSP remake of sorts (I have a very fond memory of annihilating the original right after the remake) but that's hard to get and pretty high difficulty. Castlevania Chronicles and Rebirth just felt like fangames to me with some odd design decisions (things like dozens of stairs a level and enemies locking to your horizontal position).

Edit: Oh yeah, 1 and 3 have some differences in the Japanese versions which I generally prefer (and they're easier generally), though US 3 has some significant changes to Grant (less cheesey) and a boss or two (the dragon) and imo worse music.

It's really easy to pirate it, which I don't feel bad mentioning seeing as you can't actually buy it.

Castlevania 2 on GB is actually pretty good. Legends is boring and long but inoffensive. 1 is the worst game in the series to me easily, what is worse in your mind?

Really, it just might be. At least Castlevania GB had that GBC version which helps it be not quite unplayable. Haunted Castle is probably worse than Castlevania for Tiger Electronics. I'd rather play Castlevania: Order of Shadows again!

All the 16-bit Sonics had good soundtracks. I used to hold up my tape player to the TV speaker so I could record them. Now Chemical Plant is my ringtone :-)

Shaped like a friend

Does difficulty effect score in the Yakuza 0 disco minigame

"fighting" Media King and getting flustered because I feel like I do a good job, then he beats me by 500 points. Finally I nearly perfect the song and he somehow has like 1000 more then he's ever gotten before and I don't know what the gently caress.

I don't want to lose this one because the grind is already real and garbage enough.

E: Beat him after a shocking number of attempt. Man that soured me.

The two Castlevania games on N64 (which I will only count as one)
The two Castlevania games on PS2
Judgement
Lords of Shadow 2
Haunted Castle
Castlevania for MSX

I also don't find the first GB one to be awful. It's very very slow but if you can get over that, it still has some pretty good desgn in there. I'd probably honestly play it over Simon's Quest even which I give legit points to for ambition but just has far more tedious flaws.

I can't believe I did this but I think I'm done with nnk2 already. They made a cool world and a lot of systems but the kingdom stuff annoys me and the action ish combat just makes me want to play a game that actually has well designed combat, which is what happens whenever I play a ARPG. Go turn based or don't bother imo.

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

The only Kings I lost to where the Electronics King, because it's loving impossible and the Media King, because I had no idea how Disco worked before that. I think I upped the difficulty and then somehow beat him? That whole thing was pretty weird.

I was really unsure until the new trailer today, now I am onboard with this young version of Han Solo.
