TMNT has awkward camera ankles and janky controls. It's certainly no Turtles in Time. It looks pretty easy though so I'm gonna see it through.

Rarity posted:Me and my parents found the Simpsons arcade game at a pier on the Isle of Wight and we kept on plugging in the pounds until we beat it. It cost about 20-25 quid in the end but it was worth it. My sister and I played a Simpsons cabinet once that had buttons that'd just give you an extra life, so we could play as much as we wanted for free. At one point some other quiet kid came by and we invited him to play and gave him 99 lives. 30 seconds later he left and we needed to sit around for half an hour waiting for Lisa to die 99 times.

I have vague memories of the simpsons game at a chuck e cheese but I don't remember if I was actually playing. I do remember the tiny baby kero keroppi game that was by the ball pit and only had one button.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:My gut feeling is that the Nintendo classic sales were hugely driven by folks who remember Nintendo from their childhoods but stopped playing games and picked those things up for the nostalgia/novelty. I just wonder who even wants to play NES games these days. SNES sure, but with NES the only one I could really see myself spending more than half an hour on is Mario 3.

The Colonel posted:i don't like this precision platforming in hollow knight You are not going to have fun getting the true ending then (unless that's where you're at). On that note, man, there is no chance in hell I'm ever going to complete the new content and get the TRUE true ending of that game. I mean, I didn't even 100% it as is (skipping the last arena and a few of the dream bosses) but man that is NOTHING compared to what it sounds like they added. Like a boss rush of every boss, some with harder patterns with it all capped off by a much harder boss of the game fight? Hahahaha! No. The Colonel posted:i'm in the dream world towards the end where you have to deal with a billion buzz saws Edit: oh you are there. Fun fact: There's a hidden way harder platforming section in there!

Arcade games where you can select from multiple characters who have different abilities but don't get the option to switch characters after Continuing belong in a certain place in hell. Like, Metal Slug has no real difference between characters but you know I'm going to cycle between them with every credit. But then you have a game like Strikers 1945 III where ever ship has a different bullet spread, charge attack, and bomb, but once you start you're locked into that ship for the duration. I'm also not crazy about arcade games like Simpsons and TMNT (I think the og Gauntlet did this too) solely for the fact that, at least on their four-player cabinets, each character has a dedicated spot on the cab. Not only does this mean some characters will always have a bad view of the screen, but it makes emulation harder because those ROMs require extra settings to let Player 1 select their character. Otherwise Player 1 will always be Marge, or Mikey, or whatever. Fine games but certainly not without flaws.

Don't try the Path of Pain, though (unless that's actually what you're talking about).

Really Pants posted:You might like Plague of Shadows. Plague Knight can eventually just soar over a lot of the jumps. The Plague Knight dlc rules because, while he starts weak, playing eventually feels like you're breaking the game (especially if you've already played through the game normally). Really I like his campaign more than the main game. Still haven't finished the other two though...

Like do you really think the whole "Microsoft games day and date on PC and One" thing would have ever happened if they weren't in the position they were in this gen? Ultimately consoles are budget gaming computers which is a fine place to be. The majority of games are released on as many consoles as is economically feasible for the developer--which means everything for AAA games, maybe the two biggest ones for your genre for AA games, and maybe just PC for indie games. For indie games specifically releasing on multiple platforms can be basically impossible. HBO can release an app for every device because they have the money to do that; similarly, EA puts their games on everything they possibly can for the same reason. (There are exclusives that come because the console developer either owns the software developer or paid them a lot of money to make an exclusive, but outside of Nintendo specifically that's a pretty small fraction of popular games) e: whoa lots of posts while I was typing that

Re: Hollow Knight's challenge areas. In cruel twist of fate, the item you get for completing the buzz saw area is very helpful for getting past buzz saw areas. This is good when going into the optional, super hard buzz saw area but only if you haven't exchanged that item for something else.
