Except for the Linux poo poo that nobody likes, which you can thankfully (mostly) avoid. gently caress I wish I'd known that

Nintendo has had that button arrangement since the SNES, it's not their fault Sony and Microsoft screwed it up

Sony screwed it up with their insistence on sticking with the dumb analog stick setup. MS clearly has the best overall layout. Nintendo is like a mix of the dumb of Sony holding onto the past and MS doing it right. And Sony is just bad all around.

I've come so close to buying one of the xbox-style PS4 controllers because trying to use the DS4 feels so strange when trying to use shoulder buttons and analog sticks. I will say that the back button attachment Sony put out a few years ago HAS slightly made it easier since I can map the shoulders to that.

Fun fact: the story that Final Fantasy got its name because it was Square's last-ditch effort to avoid going under, their "final fantasy," is a little bit of a myth. It's true that Square was in a lot of trouble, and also that Hironobu Sakaguchi planned for the first Final Fantasy to be his last game before he left the industry, but that's not where the name comes from. The name was because Sakaguchi wanted the game to have the abbreviation "FF" because he liked the sound of it. The team settled on "Fantasy" as the second word, but originally it was going to be called "Fighting Fantasy." That was changed because there's a series of roleplaying game books called that, and "Final Fantasy" was the second choice after that.

Beartaco posted:Mike Tyson's Punch Out is the best game on the NES, and the only one I consistently go back to play just for fun. It pretty much invented the modern boss fight. Each opponent has different phases depending on how much health they have left and they have tells for which attack they're about to do or when they're vulnerable. It wasn't that popular in Japan but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a big inspiration for a lot of developers. I'm not going to defend every character being a stereotype though.

The whole series kinda rolls into that and at least Japanese stereotypes aren't excepted. It's certainly got the vibe of boss fights should be dripping with personality and memorable.

Would someone step up to the goddamn plate and release We ♥️ Katamari on modern systems? It is better than Katamari Damacy in every way yet all we get is Reroll which would have been fine if they had used the refined controls of the sequel. But they loving didn't. poo poo and rear end! poo poo and rear end and balls I say!

Zelda 2 is a much better game than Zelda 1. Zelda 1's impact and legacy on the industry is unmatched but if you go back and play both NES titles today I think you'll find much more enjoyment out of 2.
