Yes. Get the white sword now if you haven't already.

Yeah I found the old guy in the top part of the swastika of level 3 that told me where to get it

Really helped with those slime dudes who split into smaller guys

It’s loving brutal how in this game you always respawn with 3 hearts. Either you gotta drop 40 rupees on a potion every time you die or you spend 20 minutes grinding for seldom dropped hearts

I’ve beaten sotn before, so I’ll vote for mgs which I haven’t played but I wouldn’t mind playing sotn again. I’d rather play that over crash anyway

blue wizzrobes are straight out of hell

I didn't find the wizzrobes that hard tbh at least you could block their attacks with the magic shield. I had way more trouble with darknuts and their turning 180 degrees on a dime.

i had more of an issue with how thered be 8 wizzrobes and half of them were invisible and teleported on top of you for a billion damage lol. somehow i beat level 6, found the magic sword

Maybe this is something about the 3ds virtual console emulator, but the wizzrobes for me would go slightly transparent and you could see them move from place to place so you could avoid them easily

Are they supposed to be completely invisible?

NES sprites flicker when too many things are in the same horizontal row so they can more or less disappear completely.

Lol oh yeah they were definitely flickering when they moved.

Didn’t realize that was an emulator or LCD issue

Hard in the beginning. Easier overall

yeah, I can already tell its getting easier. I scraped by the first skeleton after Death takes your gear with like 2hp after punching him to death.

I was getting owned by Richter and I couldn't even hurt him so I spent a bunch of time exploring everywhere I could with all the movement abilities and I found entire new areas with bosses I'd never seen before, found a couple of rings that let me open up the floor in the clock room where I fought Maria who gave me glasses that let me see an orb that was controlling him :stare: This loving game

I wish I could experience this feel again

drat I didn’t realize how much of a threat bats and Medusa heads would be in richter mode

Those tiny enemies that fill the screen you shrug off as alucard do as much damage as everything else to richter

I don't think I'm gonna be able to get the Richter badge. I can't get through that hallway with the spikes leading to Akmodan II
I can't do the air dash move fast enough before hitting the spikes. :stonkhat:

For N64 games: Banjo Kazooie and Ogre Battle 64 are two games I'm really interested in. Although it looks like Ogre Battle is going to be too long for this.

I've never played Ogre Battle 64, so it would be great if it was chosen, but if it's too long it's maybe not a great idea. But now I'm going to see if I can track it down and try it.

Haven’t played it myself, but it looks to be about 35 hours. The only other Ogre game I’ve played is Tactics Ogre and that game is pretty loving hard, so that 35 hours is probably way more if you’re bad at it

Fantastic game, but I'll tbh I had to save scum my way through the later stages. and I was very disappointed to learn Richter's item crashes aren't nearly as OP as they were in SotN.
