You know they say that all demons are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Pyro Jack and you can see that statement is not true, hee-ho!

I don’t think I’ve ever played 3, does it hold up?

DKC 3 is okay but it's definitely the weakest of the three. And as was mentioned, there are a lot of gimmick stages. I seem to recall not enjoying the strange vertical rocket stages for instance. I can't even remember any music from the game, now that I think about it.

I feel like this applies to a lot of western-developed platformers during the '90s (and maybe '80s but I dunno much about European microcomputers).

I thought I heard that Cave Story has been essentially stolen by Nicalis from Pixel at this point? Course this is hearsay on Twitter. so I am not sure how much stock I put in this, even if the company is mismanaged and its owner is a racist prick.

Just chiming in to say that the popular thing going around is that Nicalis used some vague wording in the contract Pixl signed that gave them ownership of the IP and the rights to do whatever the hell they wanted with it moving forward.
Pixl being Japanese misunderstood the contract and thought it was just covering the release of Cave Story on other systems and the like- not quite realizing he just signed away the ability to do anything with the series in the future. It's why Quote shows up in everything Nicalis does down to their logo (least for awhile anyway).

I don't recall any solid proof of this all coming out mind but it's one of those things you hear a absolute poo poo ton of people passing around so :shrug:

From my experience you should not do this, the combat is not really about feeling good from overcoming significant challenges but about looking cool, which you can do on a normal difficulty level

I think difficulty just makes battles take longer because they have more health.

The Yakuza combat is 90% cool animations and sometimes actually doing something different because of one or two bosses. I'm a huge Yak fan and I wouldn't play it at anything over Normal.

To follow up on this, there is an item called Charismatic Autobiography that is given out as a side quest reward. While it gives good stats, IT IS A TRAP, DO NOT EQUIPT IT. It makes enemies ridiculously aggressive and makes fights incredibly hard.

Also, even though the game he is in is a bit of a pain (Maybe. I remember enjoying it at the time, but I do not care to revisit it), I do love Chunky Kong for his character select screen animations :3:

I knew about the second one because a friend who used to read about this kind of thing pointed out the racism addition but I don't think either of us played 1001 Spikes either.

Heck, I didn't even remember that until these posts, feels like one of those weird "Did I dream it or did it really happen?" memories.
