Topic: Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online

@8-Bit_Superman Sorry, i've only checked the European and Japanese Websites.
As far as i can see you can't look at the upcomming Games on Nintendo Europe.

@HobbitGamer Darn straight...

@ReaderRagfish The dpad is pretty awesome

Well, my current high score in Yoshi

Remember to fill in the eggs with enemies to score more points.

And you get different yoshis depending on how many enemies you "sandwich" in an egg..

Towards the end, I was more concerned with not filling up the rows then I was sandwiching multiple enemies in an egg.

I uh... I didn’t know you can put enemies between the shells...

Guess I’ll have to get a Twitter acct for high scores.

@HobbitGamer I found it out quite by accident. And a happy accident it was. That particular row had reached the top with an egg bottom at the bottom of the stack. Then to my horror an egg top dropped onto the stack. To my delight it cleared the row too.

This is a fun relaxing game

@Yosheel In the words of the immortal Daffy Duck, "You're dithpickable"

Ok here’s the new high score. I’m gonna leave it like that for now. As you an see I messed up shortly after taking the video.

Probably because I took the video!

I had some moments where the game was so fast I basically started playing on automatic and hoping the game spared me. It then goes slow again and you get a chance to think.

By the way, people playing this game, you might want to create a save before finishing, since the game doesn’t actually save your high scores on its own.

@SViper Congrats and hope you, your mom and your brother have lots of fun! My brothers and I also had a NES growing up and played many of these games and are super excited to play them.

Tecmo Bowl for and maybe Ice Hockey are the only of the sports games I'll probably play much of. I'm annoyed that Tecmo Bowl doesn't have some of the features I remembered, but I might be thinking of an SNES version of the game. Even so, Coaches matches are an interesting way to play. Picking your play, or the play you think your opponent will pick then letting the AI run the plays is rather fun IMO.

@subpopz actually getting 100% on Mario 2 is more of a pain in the tukus than 3, the play mechanics are totally different, some things if you don't find them first time you're screwed, each character has their strengths and weaknesses, the game itself is easy, but trying to get 100% is the REAL challenge

Maybe you need to pull every weed and kill all the enemies...

@ReaderRagfish finding al the hidden doors and such, without a walkthrough, finding the invisible doors is such a pain, because there's no pattern to where they appear or distortion of the area where it is or enemies acting weird in its presence.

That's a weird mind to have. The Yoshi puzzler (I still call it Mario & Yoshi) is considered one of the simplest puzzle games. Some reviewers even give it crap because it is so simple. I think it's great.

Here's how I rate the difficulty of Nintendo's classic puzzle games.

9/10 Yoshi's Cookie - I guess this is for my mind what Yoshi is for your mind.
8/10 Kirby's Ghost Trap / Kirby's Avalanche / Puyo Puyo in general - superfast-paced with lots of tactics. It's weird that Kirby got one of the hardest and fastest puzzlers around.
7/10 Puzzle League / Tetris Attack / Panel de Pon - also fast paced with lots of chain tactics
6/10 Wario's Woods - complex but fluid and not too hard until very late
5/10 Dr. Mario - Balanced gameplay for casual and hardcores
4/10 Tetris - Everyone can pick it up
3/10 Mario's Picross / Picross in general - Relaxing
2/10 Mario & Yoshi / Yoshi - Very easy to learn, extremely simple to control: just the dpad and one button.

I'd put picross in a completely different category.

Can't really compare slow paced observative logic/deduction puzzles to block stacking/matching puzzles.

@DarthNocturnal The point of them is that eventually nobody can keep up with them

That said, unlike most puzzle games of the type, Dr Mario does actually have an end. After 50 stages you get the game over screen for beating the game. The final 20 stages though get super hard.
