the last level of TMNT isn't hard, just that stupid fucking last hallway if you dont have scrolls

if you're at the end of batman, you HAD to master the wall jump. it's tricky, but you can absolutely grasp what you're supposed to do if you're at that point

TMNT is much cheaper with its difficulty, and is way harder, way earlier into the game.

the final boss in Batman, however, is where it gets impossible. I've seen lots of videos of people doing it, but I would've never figured it out on my own.

You should contact a Nintendo game counselor

I feel like I don't understand chink gibberish, why would you post that?

Seems to be a Japanese RTS. Just play Watercraft.

Spoiler alert. It's the PS1 port of Master of Magic.

I only have a problem if it's something essential to advance, or if the hunt isn't already a core game mechanic.

I think the mechanics needed to find something should at least be introduced, although not necessarily in regards to the finding really well hidden stuff.

For example, once the "bomb through walls" mechanic is introduce in any Zelda game, I feel everything after that is fair game to be as hidden as possible.

Counterpoint, I feel that SMB3's white blocks as are being discussed in another post are a little too obscure. I feel that there should have been an enemy that perhaps encouraged you to duck for several seconds at a time around the blocks so you would have a chance of discovering the secret.

I think a game like NetHack gets the formula down perfectly. There is very little you can't learn about the game as long as you are observant enough. Even if you don't pick on something, if you get good enough you can get hints in many different ways in-game to inspire you to try something different that you may not have considered, often times important enough to chang your strategy completely.

>>2919612
in general i'm entirely okay with secrets being extremely esoteric as long as they're not blatantly nonsensical or tedious.
if every bomb wall in your game breaks down after 1 bomb, it's probably an awful idea to make something "secret" by just making it take 5 bombs to break instead of 1.

and for hinting at their existence, there's no universal rule, any style of hiding or not hiding things can work if the game is designed cleverly around it.
i think ideally the most impactful method would be to scatter environmental clues that just make you think "what the fuck does this mean" until you've put yourself on the track to finding an explanation for them.
basically, make it known that there are things that you don't understand, but don't bash the player over the head with "oooooooooh there's a mystical sword hidden in the deepdark somwheresecret"

Only Crash Team Racing was good.

The 2.5D platformers sucked.

Don't even compare Crash 1 and SM64. Each level is a straight hallway with a little bit of left/right movement available.

Banjo series is objectively the best retro 3D platformer.

She should had wore that outfit more often.

EU/JP console with NA carts.

EU/JP. This has been asked at least three times this week.

US SNES and carts are butt-ugly.

Love it, but I got into it as a kid and I think if you only started playing it when you were an adult you missed on something very special and very different and won't ever be able to experience the magic that only a child can feel when playing this game.

how many times have we had this thread hit bump limit
its the same fucking discussion every time

Huh, I actually just thought to myself today how a lot of the hype for Earthbound probably isn't based off of childhood nostalgia, since the game wasn't a top seller when it was first released and a lot of the current fans found the game in their teens or even 20s. I'll take your word for it though.

>>2921350
I've only been browsing /vr/ for a couple months and I've never seen an Earthbound thread. People tend not to mention the game too much unless they're complaining about its price.

that trailer is completley wrong
he wants to restart the game this year by getting the rights back, that video is like 2 years old

The map doesn't show secret areas or anything, it just gives you ideas on where you should go next if you get lost.

How is it cheating if the game allows you to easily buy it so early on?

So what are some good /vr/ games based on weird North American sports like Baseball, Ice Hockey or handegg.

>Both met on their journey and found solace in that the other was lonely, like them?

This is what the game more or less leaves it at. Zidane specifically asks if Freya found Fratley when they meet again, so clearly it's all that was on her mind when they met.

Are there romhacks that combine multiple AKI wrestling game rosters? I'd love to see one that combined, say, Virtual Pro Wrestling 64 with Wrestlemania 2000. All the characters, all the stages, and all the costumes.
