Relevant Tangent posted:NES and the Nintendo Seal of Quality existed and worked reasonably well. If you bought games without the seal (Tengan ones mostly iirc) they were of perceptibly lower quality. That's because back then it was pirated carts of pirated carts. There was no standard anything. The Nintendo seal was just a way of saying, hey these games all came from the people that made them. Or are we suggesting lovely games didn't show up on the nes? Hell, i can hardly tell what's going on in some of nso games.

Since I switched from my Wii to Dolphin to continue playing I had to restart the game. I was using the save blocks in game (instead of save states), until saving my game failed. The game told me, "The game cannot be saved. The Memory Card in Slot A is not the original Memory Card." Since then I've been using save states without issue. Is there any point in the game that requires me to save with a save point or am I okay to use save states from start to finish?

Bad games existed on the NES but the ones with the Seal were theoretically playable from start to finish without game stopping crashes. That Nintendo no longer does this is bad. People acting like nobody has ever done the level of quality control Nintendo manifestly used to do is weird.

The Nintendo seal meant the developer paid Nintendo’s license fee and agreed not to release their game when it would compete with a Nintendo release.

Tengen games had a good:poo poo ratio at least on par with licensed games. They also looked a lot cooler and felt sturdier. The NES got a better port of Alien Syndrome than the Master System did, a good version of Ms. Pac-Man, Klax, a unique two player version of Tetris, and a bunch of other Sega ports.

The seal of quality was just another marketing gimmick to attempt to differentiate Nintendo products from the sort of trash that caused the early 80's videogame crash.

AlBorlantern Corps posted:What bugs? I've seen a couple bugs that can create the game by their all stuff like "Select mii swordfighter with these four specific moves on Omega stage and use this move at the same time as duck hunt uses this move) or situate Isabelle and villager right here and use a string of specific moves, not stuff that is likely to come up in natural play I didnt find jack poo poo either beyond those stupidly specific bugs no QA ever would find. The most was online is laggy etc. Shocker, a goon was hyperbolic about nothing.

Old news now but I'm personally glad Nintendo did that with MP4 - and announced it - because the alternative was releasing a heap of poo poo and me being disappointed. Now, I might still get disappointed years down the line, but there's maybe a slightly higher chance that I won't. It's time to forget about metroid again.

Was the original Donkey Kong Country ever good? I started playing it on my SNES Classic because I thought it would be cool to beat it before I play Tropical Freeze, but holy moly is this game unfun. The level design is almost deliberately asinine, is it just me or is this game bad?

Relevant Tangent posted:Lego City Undercover shits itself after ~2 hours of co-op play with a regularity that went from infuriating to funny. Apparently this isn't just an issue with how the game got ported to Switch, and is true for every Lego game on the Switch if you play them co-op. Regular crashing is a bug in literally every one of the Lego franchise games from the very beginning, it's a proud tradition at this point. It's not exclusive to Nintendo at all.

It’s mostly the levels with the mine carts and barrel jumps, there are so many sections where you have to get lucky if you don’t want to die your first try through the level. It’s more frustrating than challenging after a while

Even when it was new, the big it factor DKC had was its graphics, and some of its gameplay gimmicks like the animals and the boss fights. No one really thought of it as having amazing level design.

But it's not bad either. I re-played the three of them just a year ago and the hold up pretty well. Maybe MAYBE DKC 3 approaches genuine Mario level like level design (and that's having played them alongside World's 1+2, and if I'm being honest DKC 3 isn't anywhere that good) and I think that's being super generous, but they're far from bad or even mediocre.

I played Super Mario World and Yoshi’s Island recently and they still hold up surprisingly well so I was optimistic about DKC. Oh well, I’ll probably abuse save states and beat it as cheaply as I can

Donkey Kong Country 2 is like a textbook of good platform level design. DKC1 often doesn't have a consistent flow, and DKC3 has a tendency to spread weak ideas too thinly, but 2 is one of the best platformers of its decade.

DKC will always fill me with Christmas nostalgia. I didn't own it, but I kept seeing the commercial, and a friend of mine had it. That snowy level just brings me back to that time so much that I can't help but think of it as wonderful. I actually hate playing the game, though.
