I love Paperboy, I do find it difficult, and I'm pretty sure I played it the most on NES which ultimately made it my favorite version, for better or worse.

Never beat the second week, N64 had the best game.

You can beat Mario rpg blind quickly

Already played Earthbound. Which Ys is a good starting point?

>>3246260

I forgot about that one. I'll have to give it a shot.

Just emulate the old games, they run the same and legacy doesn't have 7-10 and MM&B.

Also we all know why you made this thread. Personally I like many feel the design is terrible. Overdesigned and the color scheme is too dark. Really all we could expect is shit as good things should never be expected to happen. This ruby spears pitch is what a mega man cartoon should look like.

I always do Ridley first since that lets me get enough health to yolobombstrat Kraid.

Same here. Kraid is such a pain in the ass that I need the extra equipment from doing Norfair and Ridley to beat him quickly and easily.

The only conditioning comes from Super Metroid, I believe, where you are far, far, far more likely to kill Kraid first (I don't even know if you can kill Ridley before Kraid in SM).

I also think the manual mentions Kraid first because he's closer to the start of the game.

I'm curious: do you guys think the Zero Suit ruined Samus' character, or enhanced it?

According to the 2007 book Gaming Lives in the Twenty-First Century: Literate Connections, Samus was perhaps the most nonsexualized female video-game character ever,[48] a belief shared by Steve Rabin in Introduction to Game Development, which also considered Samus as one of Nintendo's most popular video game mascots.[49]

>In 2002, Justin Hoeger of The Sacramento Bee opined that "unlike most other female video game characters, Samus isn't some husky-voiced bimbo in tight leather included only for sex appeal. Samus is tough, silent, heavily armed and spends most of her time in a bulky suit of high-tech Power Armor."[50]

>That same year, however, an article in Toronto Star retorted that the "sexual politics" surrounding Samus and the Metroid series needed to stop, arguing that the original "big crazy shock to the gaming public" was "some seriously misspent energy" as she "is not a woman for the benefit of the sweaty/excited crowd, and neither is she a standard-bearer nor a courageous leader in the struggle for video game civil rights. She is a supremely talented action figure, and in the closeups on her helmet you can kind of see that she wears mascara, but that is all."[51]

Earthbound isn't rare, just gouged.

On NES, I prefer Contra. It just feels cleaner. For arcade, Super Contra was a much better game.

But crap. it's like talking about ferrari vs lambo. I'll take either.

Whoa. Different anon. You should calm down. Its not like >>3244824 came off as a total ass, just stating a point. I will agree with OP. I loved the first one, but the second one was Sci-fi channel tier. I still liked most of the fight scenes, but that cgi and dialogue was atrocious.

>>3246415
this is my favorite pasta

MK is the best vidya movie. Even the creators liked it so much they incorporated the ideas from it into the game's lore. Not many series can say the same.

>>3246494

Double Dragon did it TWICE.

Street Fighter did it three times.
Hell, four if you count the Marvel series.

Mega Man did it with it's anime.

Pokemon does this every year. Especially with the current series being a great sidestory to the Kalos games.

Digimon did it.

Final Fantasy did it.

The list goes on, man...

I have a lot of nostalgia for it, but I'd say it's a pretty big stretch to call it the best. It's certainly well made for being a slower, floatier take on Mario. The amount of variety between worlds, along with secret levels/paths is quite admirable. Definitely worth emulating or picking up on the eShop.

It's a crazy step towards console quality Mario games when compared to SML1. I honestly prefer the first one for its simplicity and straightforwardness, but 2 is definitely the more polished of the two. The leap is similar to SMB1 -> SMB3.

All of that being said, I find SML2 to be too slow, and relatively uninteresting, overall.

This game ruled my childhood and I want even a super huge Mario fan. Lots of memorable tunes, great level variety and as a little kid the bosses really kind of freaked me the fuck out. This was also before I knew who wario was, and going to the main castle and seeing this fat huge creepy-eyed fuck who continuously stomped my ass was almost a little traumatizing. Also lots of minigame and secrets. Definitely over rated. Better than classic Mario, floaty like smb2 (nes) and definitely the trickiest bosses. I've always thought the boss STAGES of Mario games were challenging, but the bosses were always baby-shit. Buy it, collect the 6 coins, put them in the wall, then get on your knees to have wario dig for gold I. Your throat with his dick while he wears bunny ears.

Also, biggest thing about this game is you can select any world you want to start at.l from the beginning.

Yes, but that's aside the point. I feel the development team went too far with player expectation. Why did they stretch the save point out so far in the snow world? What was the point of doing that?

back to /v/ with you

Dissappointed at how tedious the fighting engine is. I learned to appreciated it a lot more after I learned how to min max the equipment crafting system.

I don't.

But I gather that people dislike it for being a beat-em-up. And if you do any of the unnecessary stuff (seed/golem/pet) game becomes too easy.
But honestly I don't mind any of those.

>>3236252
Yeah, I have to agree with this.

I will also add that I appreciated the characters and story a lot more as I got older. It is extremely shallow for someone young or without any worldly experience. And so as a teen much was lost on me. But it can also be very rich if you've ever had to deal with adversity and are into philosophy. As an adult I consider it rather brilliant.

it's good. inb4 "hexen is better"

it's shit. hexen is worse.

shit gameplay, shit level design. cool art style and music though.
