@EarthboundBenjy How about Super Turrican (The NES one, not the SNES one that's in the Turrican compilation on eShop)? It was programmed entirely by Manfred Trenz (creator of the series and creator of games like Giana Sisters and Katakis), doesn't use any mapper chips at all (because the IP owner at the time was really stingy), yet still manages to be amazing (because Manfred Trenz is a programming wizard)

Also, I think Japan needs to take a bit of a backseat now when it comes to old games because people seem to be acting like non-Japanese regions (especially Europe and the UK) didn't do jack for the gaming industry

EDIT: On another note, where did that editors get that weird reshaded edit of the Japanese SMB3 box art from?

I'm sorry, Japan has gotten way more attention than it deserves at this point, I'll take everything short of games on the C64 and ZX Spectrum

@jtmnm Actually, at this point, I'd probably just settle for my own parody "JRPG" game idea, which is basically "Cable from X-Men in the world of Genshin Impact"

Well, without actual Cable and actual Genshin Impact, of course

@jtmnm Anything science-fiction with cool power armor that doesn't feel too "anime"?

@jtmnm > the best art, music and storytelling

Hey, the first two of those apply to the Turrican series pretty well

Also, I have ADHD, so of course I want to get to the goddamn point as soon as possible and I want to be able to understand things easily, which is probably also why I like watching old 80's cartoons that are blatant toy advertisements

@jtmnm Must suck to like such slow turn-based slop, maybe pay $30 for Turrican on the eShop if you want a change

@jtmnm I'm all for more obscure titles making to NSO, but please add something of actual quality like Zool

And truth be told, I wouldn't care if all JRPGs got erased from existence

The same list also has the cancelled Gamecube Kirby game that was more or less split up and reworked into later stuff like Return to Dream Land and Star Allies

@shoeses Maybe it's because they didn't do Mini consoles for those and have no plans to?

@Illusion And Cybernator

Also, vague Monkey's Paw-ish moment: We get "64" games, as in Commodore 64 like the Wii's Virtual Console

But that's ok since new generations will be able to experience hits like the Monty Mole series and Impossible Mission

@Ralizah Where the hell is Cybernator?

I think Cybernator is more worthy than Earthbound

If I really wanted an RPG on NSO, it'd probably be some of the Ultima games

Where's Cybernator?

On another note, Japanese NSO is getting an SMT game

"Where it belongs"? What the heck are you talking about? This kind of gold belongs in public hands like the Internet Archive

Too bad the museum isn't willing to take the risk of releasing it publicly like that

@Penlab Could've sworn that apology was rather half-hearted and didn't entirely address the situation properly

Sorry, Piko are a bunch of hacks, the whole thing where they took down a community-released Glover prototype a while back comes to mind

@gcunit Nintendo simply isn't very popular in Italy, they like Sony more

I've been seeing a lot of hate towards Metroid 1 in light of Dread's announcement, so I guess that counts? It's certainly better with hacks that add a map and saving, along with engine overclocking if the emulator you're using supports it

@Fujimoto-San Yeah, I think it's from at least 2016 or so, probably from a company handbook

@AnnoyingFrenzy Because that's what he looked like in the game?

Samus Returns strays too far from the original Metroid 2 for me to call it a "remake"

Walkure time? Sure!

I'd probably pay $120 for a new 2D Turrican game

@kingbk I was expecting you to call those games "absolute garbage" like the rest of them, because I'm the only person who actually has taste anymore that isn't over 30 years old

@kingbk Implying games like Vice: Project Doom, Journey to Silius, and SCAT don't kick a**?

@AvianBlue > Why would they program it to hunt Samus?

Maybe they just want her dead after blowing up the BSL and SR388

@AvianBlue I think the whole thing about the Federation losing contact with the EMMIs is a coverup and they reprogrammed them to chase after Samus because she's on the run after Fusion

@BloodNinja I thought the physics in Super were garbage compared to Zero Mission's and I think it should've had those Chozo statues that told you where to go like ZM too

In other words, I think Super is kinda garbage and I treat it like I treat Melee: Games that get way too much credit than they actually deserve and have really toxic communities behind them

I honestly thought both SR and AM2R would've worked really well with Psycho-esque string covers of some of M2's music

@sdelfin On another note, Metroid 1 actually has unused sprites for a left-facing Samus that can be seen in the Japanese commercial

Yes, continue with a Turrican crossover

@tntswitchfan68 Yeah, and make sequels to Gyruss and Time Pilot while you're at it

Now, where's that Turrican crossover?

Turrican 4, it's literally the only reason worth living for

@mousness It was developed by Arzest, who also developed Yoshi's New Island

Bren McGuire from Turrican gets in Smash to coincide with the announcement of Turrican 4

@SaturnHero There was a fan-made webcomic sequel, but it hasn't updated since 2015, although I heard the creators are trying to start over

@Doofenshmirtz SWAT Bot from Sonic SatAM

@John_Deacon Actually, Hasbro owns Power Rangers now, they have since 2018

@Zacattack99 I'd still have to move my thumb up too high

And yet there's still no option in the NES Online app itself to swap button mapping instead of having to change universal mappings every time

@Giygas_95 Those weren't Revenants, those were Arch-Viles

@Giygas_95 Plutonia MAP11 Captcha

@nessisonett Yeah, I actually consider Super/Return of Double Dragon to be more of a proper DD4 (even with how awfully rushed it was and how the story doesn't really connect with the previous three)

Samus Vs. Snake Eyes, please

Probably most of the Turrican series

Put Assault Suits Valken/Cybernator on Switch Online, cowards

And add an option to swap button placement on NES Online too, so I don't have to change universal Joy-Con mapping every single time I want to play an NES game, and then change it back when I want to play something else

I'd rather have Mario Gaiden

Gonna be making a new Turrican game/Turrican clone with this

Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge

Fun fact: Manfred Trenz (creator of Giana Sisters and Turrican) did the official C64 port of R-Type after his R-Type clone, Katakis, was released
