X3 and X2 I feel are on par with the NES series in difficulty. X is just unusual for a Mega Man game because of how easy it is. For many people, it was the first Mega Man they ever beat.

Mega Man 2 is the only one near as easy, and it's still harder than X.

>>2936835
I'm going to disagree here because a) I don't think NES MM is hard and b) MMX2 is way, way easier than MMX.

>>2936835
>>2936842
Seconding this.

X2 is by far the easiest based on the design of the levels and tools you're given.

X1 is easy, but the final Sigma gauntlet is hard enough that you have to actually do well throughout.

X3 you just take a shitload of damage from enemies and theres a lot of one hit kills.

>>2936390
Warioland 1 and 2, Mario land 2, Dr Mario, Yoshi Cookie, Donkey kong land, The legend of Zelda Links Awakening, Kirby's dreamland, Metroid 2.

Tons, basically. Not even scratching the surface here.

Why are you dipshits even answering to this thread. At least let it die.

Currently working on the Megami Tensei remake in Kyuuyaku Megami Tensei. Excited to start Pokemon Red on my New 3DS Pokemon Edition I have pre-ordered because I'm a fag (not sorry, will probably replay Soul Hackers on it too). I never have an urge to 100% games, I'm usually a credits and move on kind of guy unless I want to replay something.

Recently finished DoReMi Fantasy and Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon, playing Paper Mario for the first time

>>2935954
It's not retro, but I'm working through Drakengard[/ and the rest of the series, but then I'm moving onto Metroid, which I now realize only has 2 games which are considered Retro by the boards rules.

Then I might go for something like Onimusha, Faxanadu, or Clock Tower and Silent Hill.

Classics are a classic for a reason. There's no real wrong choice here.

I can't really recommend Final Fantasy VIII. For everything it does right, it also does something really bad.

The stat system is broken. Either you sit around drawing magic like a chump whenever you enter a new area, or you refine items and break the game within the first 2 hours. Magic also becomes useless because using good spells will decrease the stats of your characters.

Bad

>Junction System

Very cool sidescroller with a fun gimmick. My only issue is that when I played it years ago, some of the stages seemed overly long.

Well worth a shot for anyone lurking right now.

>>2935654
Thanks. I thought about getting Medievil but it was more expensive and I had never played it.

>>2935664
Medievil is also good, but the lack of camera controls kinda bugs me. If you have some self control, take it for a spin in an emulator before buying it.

I don't know. And no walkthrough on YouTube.

But I do know the music is really good. Even the composer thinks it's underrated.

i just had to grab the small rock thingy with the b button.

>>2933067
If you actually enjoy this game, there are also Die Maus and Tweety & Silvester by the same developer on the GB in a very similar style. And ofcourse there are Monster Max and Altered Space.

Man that area required some intricate bomb jumps for those card thingies.

To answer your question. No, I managed to beat the regular last boss but those damn jumps made me rage quit.

>>2932634
I had too if i wanted to beat rainbow palace

The real pain was getting the gold cards for the big bosses.

Holy fuck, was that annoying.

>NES multicart
>Team Ninja-era Ryu Hayabusa
>2k3 Turtles
Thanks for the trigger, OP.

>>2931443
Multicarts and bootlegs have always had cover art like that. The cart has the 3 NES Ninja Gaidens and the three regular TMNT games plus Tournament Fighters, so I don't mind the cover art.

>>2931424
>This multicart is available in either a red or gray shell and cost less than $20.
Where do you buy it?

Unlimited SaGa on the PS2, the game that apparently no one understands how to play.

>>2924315

Everything that follows the original trilogy is very diverse. The games keep tacking on new features like combo attacks, tech sparking and other things that have long since become SaGa staples. The learning curve can still be pretty steep, even if you've already played through SaGa 1 - 3.

Luckily, Romancing SaGa and SaGa Frontier have a lot in common, mechanically speaking. If you can get a grip on the gameplay and basic plot progression, you should be able to jump right in and play those games in whatever order you prefer.

Unlimited Saga and the PS2 remake of Romancing SaGa is where the mechanics start to get overly dense again.

>Unlimited SaGa on the PS2, the game that apparently no one understands how to play.

From my experience, it's just a too-faithful recreation of pen-and-paper rules. Your characters are even represented as game tokens that are moved around grid maps. If you spent a lot of time playing D&D growing up, it may not seem as confusing. I do understand the basic gameplay mechanics, although I can't say I understand exactly how things like panel growth are determined. A lot of that seems to be based entirely on luck.

>>2924320
I like Unlimited Saga, but once you do actually understand it it's a bit too easy!

Saga Frontier ironically has some of the best difficulty in the series if you try to speedrun it or finish at a low power level, it's probably my favorite! (ironic because it's probably considered the best entry title for the series)

so play that one OP

play SaGa Frontier, which might be my favorite jRPG

I was fine with the Super Game Boy until VR had to point out that it runs games at the wrong speed and trigger autism I didn't even know I had...

>>2937571
Come on man, walkthroughs exist for a reason.

>>2937597
But I don't want to use a walkthrough, thought my friends at /vr/ could help instead

>>2937571
If you can fight Baramos, then that's what you do.

>>2936078
Pic unrelated, I hope, because that's a terrible game.

I know this is supposed to be ironic shitposting or something, but this is the 20th "recommend me games/which is the best x game/show me hidden gems" thread on the board. Game rec threads are now 1/5th of the board.

MGS doesn't feel modern to me.

>>2935832
I wish more games played MGS1/2 style. Fuck.

>>2935843
Me too. It's the perfect blend of 2D and 3D. I can't stand people finding it unintuitive.
