mega man 1 is "nintendo hard" because it's very old, everyone got salty about getting guts-dumped, the ice man blocks, or the rock monstera nd then rejoiced after beating them.

it's majorly improved by save states because it's the only w/o passwords and nobdoy wants to play a whole game like that in one sitting.

i mostly like the nobuo eumatsu/koji kondo "let's write for nintendo like composers" thing but there's something charming about how the Mega Man music leans into the fact that it's made on some kind of 8 bit chipset. that complainer guy got bubble man stuck in my head.

Real gamer kids know about leaving the NES on all night long but strategically covering the power light with a sock or a blanket or something so that mom doesn't notice the red light and turn it off.

if you vaguely associate "puzzle" with maze then there's that wily boss with the crash walls maybe but there aren't any ladders

the bubble background races through my mind and the E box vanishes with an echoing scream. i fire my gun, but the birds wheeling in the sky simply stop as my second meter inexplicably decreases. all is discordia.

Even if you guessed the right ladder by accident the first time you would see the e tank and jump off to get it

and face TWO bird enemies again?! the E tank doesn't even make either of the meters go up!

i don't think megaman beyond 1 is really that hard unless you're like trying to to stuff like not use boss powers or abilities like flying or whatever. and even 4-6 give you the mega buster which deals good damage to every boss without exploiting its weakness making it easier

there are some sections of 2 that are kind of hard IMO. quick man lasers is probably about as hard as the guts dump platforms. the rest of them aren't super hard but i think literally all of them are harder than say, donkey kong country or super mario world.

Playing Mario Odyssey for the first time. The New Donk City Festival is the best thing I've ever experienced in a game.

The whole game is really good, and the festival is just Nintendo taking a victory lap for 30 great years of games and inviting you to the party, and handing you some champagne.

everyone has to cry about mario sometimes. i cried about this, from the gamer tricks thread, the next day, when i was on the toilet for almost an hour.

Bicyclops posted:

one time i was playing Super Mario World with a roommate, and he was getting bored because he kept dying really quickly and having to wait for me to finish a level, so he told me you could kill the bone fish with a cape attack, and he managed to be convincing enough that i tried it and lost my cape. i survived the level anyway and then he immediately died again, so he offered to make some frozen chicken nuggets while i played the next level. then he put a bunch of habanero pepper sauce on one of the nuggets as a prank, so my face was numb from the spicyness.

Reading about it, it seems very similar to Out of This World, which we rented a bunch of times, but I don't think ever beat until years later on an emulator.

Same devs (Delphine Software), though different people designed them

yeah, it looks visually very similar and a lot of the gameplay elements are similar, but Flashback seems crazier and a little more puzzle focused

I played this at a "Virtual Reality Expo" on this big, weird machine you had to look down into. I remember there was a wizard who would yell at you for being an idiot every time you got killed, which was like every two seconds.

i think the 90s virtual reality expo also had the first instance of Jordan's Furniture's Motion Odyssey Movie, which is a weird thing i still don't understand how it happened.

during the tourneys and stuff they showed that smash balls have more complicated behavior too, they dont just float around predictably and hover away. they can become heavy and start rolling around, start zipping around super fast, and their health varies a lot so a fake smash ball could become a hot potato. i cant wait for this game lol

a 3D Donkey Kong Country game not tainted by Rare's weirdness would be pretty cool. basically just Odyssey with bananas instead of moons where you could switch between Kongs.

I am REALLY wanting Tails to be in Smash and I felt very enabled by this direct cause they showed assist trophies and went straight to Knuckles... No mention of Tails. So hopefully he'll actually be playable!! Seems totally within the realm of possibility given all the other characters were getting 🙏

I think if we've learned anything about Smash Bros it's that if you're willing to wait long enough, nintendo will make all of your dreams come true.
