Currently finishing my 100% run on Aria of Sorrow at the Castlevania Advance Collection.

Please do not try to 100% this game.

Item drops, souls already got them on the first go then I decided to start Hard Mode without realizing it only improved Soul drops, not items.

Only have Demon Mail and Shadow Knight's potion left and god I really hope whoever made the drop formula on the Sorrow duology got fired.

I just played MK64 and am wondering if I've turned poo poo at it in my old age, or the lag/controls are just super bad.

Are all the N64 games equally bad? Or does their performance/lag vary from game to game?

I did a bad job as thread IK so the admins punished me by promoting me to a Games mod.

If you have any feedback on how you want this thread post it in the Games Feedback thread and I'll try my best to keep things chill. I'll probably do an effort post there later so as not to derail chat about sweet Switch games.

Is Mean Bean Machine significantly more difficult than Puyo Puyo or have I just gotten terrible since the 90s? Can't beat the second robot.

SMRPG being brought up has me looking at romhacks because I'm aware that there's a lot of them and some of them are pretty rad but I don't even know where to begin to decide which one to try...

Gen 2 mons were pretty bad imo apart from a handful. I tried to go through catching and training only new ones and you can't really do it.

I've honestly found Metroid Dread frustrating at times. The devs don't seem to get that projectile attacks from bosses are meant to be minor nuisances (if not shootable for ammo and health) rather than serious threats, and fights like Kraid's are less fun than they could be because you get stuck dealing with what should be minor hits instead carving off entire energy tanks The belly shots in Kraid's case. The only times projectiles have been shootable is when they're clearly pulling from older games; Kraid's nails, and the Ring Beams on the Mother Brain-esque core units. Some of the later bosses also wear out their welcome because they REALLY want you to hit that counter attack to dump damage into them, and if you gently caress up that chance it just drags out the fight considerably as the entire phase repeats for another go rather than just being a cool extra thing you can do. I'm at Raven Beak and it's a slog of a fight because of how long it feels just to get to that second phase... and then there's a third phase on top of that all wearing you down with gently caress-all recovery items given. I swear someone selected the quantity of health drops in a boss fight based off looking at prior Metroid games, and nobody told them that Dread bosses hit much harder on-average. What you get back isn't going to account for even a single extra hit.

I'm at the final boss and I can only really say I mostly like Dread. It's overall a good game, but I'm hoping they learn from this one to do even better for the next. One of their other big problems is someone in their level design loves arbitrary one-way passages and while it's fine while following the breadcrumb trail to the next upgrade or boss it's utterly tedious having to circle around a big chunk of the map because one door arbitrarily shuts behind you or a Grapple/Wave Beam block has landed in a place that blocks off an old route.

There were two Dread bosses that really frustrated me my first time through, but as soon as I learned how to beat them I found them really fun to fight. It's definitely one of those games that's all about that feeling of mastery, I think, where everything feels super punishing but then as soon as it clicks you feel like a complete badass.

The final boss is maybe one of the best-designed boss fights I've experienced in a while specifically because of how it uses the player's own growing skill and practice at the fight to have a great finish.

Sell "Pokemon Diamond and Pearl" and at the start of the game they ask you "Do you like diamonds or pearls" or something, and that determines the unique stuff you can get.

The games have always been programmed this way.

This is a question you answer when you go to the store or eShop to purchase the game.

It's a non-issue that people are trying to turn into one. Even at my youngest and most influential years I'd never bought both versions. Ironically, the only times I've gone out of my way to buy both versions of a generation was Sun/Moon and the Ultras, and that's because I'm working on a complete 3DS library. And those are the worst mainline games in the franchise.

Wasn't there a Golden Sun or something on 3DS that unlocked the alternate version after you beat it?

Yep Zelda oracles are essentially not even the same thing at all, they're just two entirely separate titles with an added scenario if you link them.

That owned so hard. You guys think Nintendo or Capcom will ever release two full blown mainline Zelda games at once? What a bad rear end concept especially when you consider that they were actually trying to make THREE games
