ImpAtom posted:Sometimes I am reminded that probably the most iconic video game character of all time is a squat rotund mustachio'd Italian plumber in overalls. His only competition at the time was a pie chart being chased by ghosts, and a bouncy alien with a foul mouth. The speedy hedgehog didn't show up until later.

I'm still waiting for more of Wonder before I decide how I feel about it. But thank god they at least got rid of that Bwah Bwah dancing poo poo. I don't like the flowers using copy paste white noise poo poo post texts I see on other forums constantly. And I'' look past it since it's probably there to appeal to young players. But other than that, the footage they showed in the direct at least looked like it'll be a little more difficult than the sleepwalk New games. And it's nice to see so many playable characters. I'm kinda surprised about that.

The mission impossible skydiving chute is fun. There was probably some easier way to get to it but rockets and hot air balloons get the job done (eventually)

I started trying to play picross on NSO but it’s in Japanese. I think I have it sort of figured out now but for the first half an hour I felt like Chris Farley on the sketch where he ends up on the game show and has no idea what’s going on.

MikeJF posted:I mean, I'm certainly no 'all games from that era must be played on CRT' purist, many or even most games didn't use those effects and I'd prefer to play clean and sharp. But some did deliberately not just design around the side-effects, but exploit them, and sometimes the exploit tricks can end up making the sharp version look a bit worse than it otherwise might. It's not exactly a major effect but it is there. This is from a few pages back, but talking about how some games were designed around CRT reminds me of CGA graphics. Check this poo poo out. I grew up with old DOS. games and never knew this: Skip to about 4:45, or watch the whole thing I don't care, I'm not your dad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niKblgZupOc It's a very special use case but it's amazing that combinations of the original 4 colour palettes in CGA can, given the right connections and TV, give you 4 separate palettes of 16 colours each. All specifically from NTSC artifacting. Edit: is there a setting in DOSBox or something that mimics this? Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 14:23 on Jun 23, 2023 |

Read After Burning posted:Squat lil' RPG Mario is my favorite Mario. I really got from the moment I saw that this was gonna be a ridiculously faithful remake, that they specifically got the proportions making him a weird hinterland between time NSMB default Mario and post super mushroom big Mario. Also still funny that Bowser just looks normally on-model, but then I'm pretty sure SMRPG was where they first fully developed the model they've used ever since.

It was way too long in my life before I realized the curly bit was hair and not a nose, and that the part I thought was a mouth was actually the nose. I thought they were going for a head elf in Rudolph kind of thing.

It is in fact the perfect entry point to the series, as it was the first one in the series released outside Japan and they were extra thorough with the tutorials. In fact, there's an entire extended tutorial prologue campaign, "Lyn mode" that's meant to ease new players into things.
