Topic: VC games beaten recently?

I'm about to beat Fortified Zone to the grumpy Gumby Ground!

Apperantly it's like a combination of Commando meets Zelda meets Metal Gear all rolled into one little spiffy Jaleco GB package. Shouldn't take too long to complete & defeat! I absolutely adore these short yet sweet GameBoy games, especially if they're packin' the challenge! Fortified Zone however, i hear is a bit on the easy side, But i need to play catch up 'once again' and this little bodacious brewster bunny is taking centre stage on my 3DS tonight. Sup!

After that, I'll be taking a trip to Angel Land in kid Icarus: Of Myths and monsters, and then Avenged Spirit both for the gameboy....And after that? I'll FINALLY be taking the VideoLand Koopatroopa Warpzone into Super Mario 3D Land.

None, but I'm on the brink of 100%ing Warioware and completing Super Mario Land 2

Just finished Fortified Zone and it was actually better than i expected!
Stage 4 was such a beast in the difficulty department to the point where i was dieing left and right which almost lead me to Hulk smash my 3DS into Fry Guy oblivion. BUT, like always i kept at it and didn't give up and took down the final boss with mearly a trinket of life left...If i would of died right then and there I would of called it quits for the night. Good game overall, I'd score it no less than a 7.5...8/10 I'd say personally.

I finished Super Mario Land 2 yesterday. Next up is Donkey Kong!

Finished Metroid: Fusion yesterday. I could never beat it as a kid, so I'm so happy I was given the chance to play it again. It was pure epicness from beggining to end.

SPOILERS. It felt so good to finally beat SA-X into the ground, after running from it the entire game. It wasn't the most difficult boss I've beat (heck, it wasn't even the toughest in Fusion), but the mood was set so well throughout the game, that it was certainly the most tense, IMO. SPOILERS END.

I finished Gargoyle's Quest. Boy was that game a good challenge. I welcome more games like that. Dear Capcom, games like this is what made you the best third party company not re- relases of updated games or pointless DLC. thanks your fan, Shawn M.

Back to serious, this game was fun. I have never played it before. Totally in my top 5 gb games ever now. Behind Pokemon, James Bond, Donkey Kong Land, Metal Gear Solid, etc.

Beat Legend Of Zelda 1 and Link's Awakening DX, also Beat 3D land again.

Hmmm...I don't think I've played VC games recently. But the last one I beat was...Kirby's Block Ball

Gargoyle's Quest And Bionic Commando.

The last VC game I beat was Wario Land 4 with the best ending. I remember seeing this game a lot in stores when I was younger but unfortunately never got around to playing it until I got it on the 3DS as part of the ambassador gifts. Goodness, talk about a cool game. The music is awesome, the boss battles are full of personatlity, and the gameplay is tight. It's one of my favorite Wario games now.

Burger Time Deluxe (GB). OK, not quite finished the last set of levels 21-24 but I have unlocked all of the passwords. Fun and well balanced gameplay, a very respectful update of the arcade original which brings interesting new layouts but retains the classic gameplay. 8/10

I've beaten

Donkey Kong Jr. ( Beat all levels on both difficulties)
Wario Ware Inc. ( Not 100% just the main game)
Donkey Kong '94
Radar Mission ( There are no unlockables in this game)

Kirby's Dream Land. A tad easy but it was really fun especially for its price.

Sonic the Hedgehog: Triple Trouble (GG). The basic platforming action was quite enjoyable, and a nice return to form, after having played through Sonic Labyrinth. Although i found a few minor irritations such as the last set of levels being confusing - i was going round in circles in those chutes for quite a while. I also had a few problems with the view being just a little too close-in for comfort, so occassionally fell to my death where i couldn't see what i was doing. The most dssapointing thing were the boss fights, they were easy to defeat, but hard to avoid being hit - every boss fight went the same for me, i.e. hit the boss, suddenly get hit and then chase after the ring you drop... as long as i got the ring back every time i beat the boss. I only got a bad end so will try the game again sometime, I didn't manage to complete any of the special stages, and didn't even see the 3d flying stage it mentions in the manual. 6.5/10

The Sword of Hope II. Easily one of the best 3DS VC games out there (right up there with Link's Awakening DX, and Metroid II, IMO).

It has an amazing story (by GB standards at least), it's long (20 hrs, 40 mins for me to beat), and enemy sprites hardly ever get used (which is fantastic for an RPG, especially one this old).

Castlevania Adventure (GB), I had played this before on the Konami Collection on GBC but never beaten it. I was pleased to finally beat this (even though i had to use restart points). It's hard to reccoemend this, even series-fans are likely to be disspaointted. It has a fair few issues, the slow down and graphical glitches (it will display the health bar in the wrong place for the odd frame) are really poor and not something you'd expect from a Konami game. Some gameplay elements are annoying - when backtracking to pick up items, or getting knocked back by an enemy, even by the tiniest amount, you'll keep getting enemies respawining. This problem makes the later area of spiked rooms in level three really dificult to get past as you simply don't have any time to spare. Anyway, I got about four and a half hours play out of it so i'm happy i got some value out of it, some good music too. 4/10
Hoping for some more (better) Konami games on GB VC soon - loved that Motocross Maniacs game back in the day.

Wario land it's such a great game and getting treasures have been something I've alwaysed liked in games in general

Hey Chrony what's your friends code you litttle booger?

Just finished Metroid Fusion (GBA) for the first time. Amazing game - it really picked up towards the end, and it's one of my favourite GBA games now (Minish Cap is still better :3).

Just finished Metroid! Truely a classic game, but I fail to see why Metroid II is considered less of a game, when it improves the series in nearly every way imaginable.

SPOILERS

• Metroid II progresses linear enough where you won't get confused, but there's still enough labyrinths and hidden items to satisfy explorers (that, and the absence of a map).
• While all the bosses in MII were Metroids, there were 5-6 different variations, which is more diverse than Metroid's 3 bosses (although, excluding Ridley, the first game had the tougher bosses).
• MII abandoned the archaic password system for save points.
• Series staples such as the Space Jump (really useful) and the Plasma Beam were introduced.
• Despite the lack of color, MII looked better as well. Due to the closer camera view, more detail was put into Samus, and your enemies. The lack of color also required them to pay extra attention to detail, such as adding shoulder pads to the Varia Suit (a series staple), and the change of the arm cannon when using missles. (There's also the argument that the lack of color adds to the series trademark sense of isolation).

SPOILERS END.

Again, both games were great, but I don't see how Metroid II could be a considered less of a game.
