Re: Feature: Best NES Games

Mega Man II is terrible, one of reasons is that one boss in Wiley's Castle can only be defeated by the Crash Bomb and you need a full ammo bar to do it, use any before the fight or miss a shot or something and you have to start over. I enjoyed every Mega Man game afterward but II is my least favorite for many other reasons.

Also, Super Mario Bros. beat out Metroid? What???

@Kilroy Comparing two different fan projects is not like apples and oranges, sure there is differences between them but they're still fan made products using Nintendo's IPs. I know about video game metal covers, all I'm saying is that people should pick this album up in case Nintendo notices it's existence and then they may or may not take action against it. Better safe than sorry.

@ModdedInkling @FluffiestP1llow I wasn't saying ModdedInkling's opinion was wrong nor was I saying he/she couldn't have it. I don't even think that The Last of Us 2 should have won game of the year primarily because of the reasons ModdedInkling stated but also because of how divisive it was among many people. Some thought it was the greatest, others thought it was the worst. Agree with what side you want but a game that was as controversial as that doesn't deserve to have won. I just brought it up because that game was the one that won game of the year 2020.

Personally I don't think New Horizons should have won game of the year either because of how barren it is in terms of features and game play and it's soundtrack is awful. I fully understand it's cultural impact (because I play the game) but take New Horizons outside of 2020's lock downs and put it in another time period like 2019 and there isn't much going for it. But I suppose it is a better fit for game of the year 2020 than The Last of Us 2 because it brought people together.

I didn't even really have a pick for game of the year in 2020 because I didn't really play anything that was released for that year, still trying to clear my backlog... Sorry for rambling but those are my thoughts.

@NEStalgia Yeah I always see people praise the social aspects of the game but I really don't care for them, primarily because there isn't much to do at all. I'd much rather play Smash Bros. with my siblings than play AC:NH with them.

I too, am worried about how financially successful this game is, I'm worried the sequel will be stuck at this point with the tedious crafting, few buildings to explore, shallow dialogue from animals etc. Hopefully the sequel will be more like New Leaf with the QoL improvements and features from New Horizons and other added stuff. (and they ditch crafting)

I don't think this game would have crashed without the lock downs, I'd imagine it'd sell around the same amount as New Leaf

@VoidofLight Multiplayer in this game is nearly identical to previous games, not much to do except catch bugs and fish and chat. I feel like this game is a popular choice for multiplayer because so many people own it and with government knockdowns not many people can do much else except stay at home and play games. This is just one of the new ways to hang out for now.
