I can see calling something like Mario Wonder pop music-like. They're talking a lot, guess we'll find out when some of these revivals come out.

@waveboy yea play tropical freeze it's fantastic.

Punch-Out would be near the top of my requests for sure. I loved the Wii sequel, didn't pay much attention to scoring though.

Nintendo needs to emulate Sega and revitalize these rotting franchises. I want a game company not a multimedia company.

@waveboy I'm all for options. If Nintendo weren't ignoring most of their IP it wouldn't be an issue. Glad you'll enjoy it!

Wondering if there's a harder final boss in gaming. One person in the world can beat this. And not artificial challenge difficulty, this is as the devs intended.

good lord can we have new games

Minimal use of Google translate on the menu at first, perfectly playable in-game

No one beat the full final boss in this game, ever, until this year. 12 years of dedication by superplayer Sairyou. It's incredible, watch starting at 28:19

Brutal game, even for Cave. Can't wait.

@KoopaTheGamer opposite for me, haven't dealt with hard drops unless it was 30 years ago on the game boy

@Gs69 yea Final Vendetta needs to be on here. Also agree on horizon chase turbo, nice to race n relax but not much depth. Looking forward to Victory Heat Rally.

Grandmaster 2 and Effect: Connected is all the Tetris I need

@Woodyshoe Cotton Rock'n'Roll - Superlative Night Dreams.
Beautiful game

@aughra haha a kindred spirit! Still not over AoR getting cancelled. Peak Creature Shop.

It's funny how worked up people get when it's clearly an afterthought for Nintendo, seems like they're confused at why people care and sort of threw us a bone with the "official" timeline.

@Friendly
you got me! I think it was 2nd try, though it's been 26 years. Irrelevant. Pretty sure I died on the castle escape somehow, so we need a "Hero tripped and Fell down the Stairs" branch of the timeline.

@VoidofLight hadn't heard that one, pretty cool. Still, weird to be dragged back to the loser timeline in future games.

I can't stand the concept of a "hero was defeated" timeline. I killed ganon don't tell me I didn't.

thank god, when the seeds of humanity are scattered among the stars and earth has been swallowed by the sun along with the original DK figures, all will be well.

Never played this one but excited to check it out, it's recommended pretty often by shmup players.

god damn you're spoiling us nintendo

2D- SMB3
3D- Galaxy 2

But no way Wonder is better than 64!

I know it's like a mortal sin to admit but I've never finished World. Looking for branching paths is not my idea of 2D Mario fun. Duck behind the white block, that's as complicated as I want it.

@BodkinDQ from that list I feel compelled to recommend you check out Cock Sparrer - Shock Troops

@Borderlineland more for the rest of us commies yay

@BASEDSAKRI you're like 30 years late to that tired argument ha

May it aspire to the profound artistry of the Double Dragon movie

Oh studio executives...Mario and Sonic made money, greenlight everything you'll certainly never regret it!!!

@Yoshi3 I do miss the days of heading into ganons castle with nothing but a fairy in a bottle as a safety net. Or one potion like NES Zelda. The risk/reward of how low should I let my hearts get before I use it, that has vanished.

Haven't played yet, kids are loving it.
"It is more linear, but..."
Funny that we have to defend having a good time in a linear game now. Give me more action less wandering any day.

@-wc- Right? Games used to be tweaked until they ran right on whatever hardware they were for. How many games had arcade, NES, and Gameboy versions, all different? Even SNES vs Genesis, tweaked for the hardware. What happened? Looking at comments (and reviews) I'd say lowered expectations are letting developers get away with it. Hey maybe it'll get a patch, maybe not.

I do hope this gets improved with a patch, my kids would love it. But paying for an incomplete product is bad for all of us.

@NeonMullet
You can buy NA localised m2shotriggers ports of ketsui and dangun feveron...on ps4. They must have decided the sales didn't justify the cost, they haven't localised any since as far as I know. Not Nintendo's fault.
DDP DOJ is definitely worth the inconvenience of creating a JPN account.

Really looking forward to this. My kids currently go to sleep with the Celeste cassettes playing every night haha. Please give us full-time shmuppers an extreme difficulty setting!

@Tempestryke oooh yea ok, forgot about that, it's been...7 years wow

@Tempestryke I missed that nod, where?

All these updated IP would make a great launch lineup for the new Sega console!

lookin good to me

I'd love to see the return of "It's dangerous to go alone" guy, what's his story?

Critics call arcade games too short, dock them review points. Developers of arcade style game have to respond by making their games too long. That's how we get the last few stages of Shredder's Revenge.
These games are meant to be replayed over and over for mastery, the mindset of oh I got through it all once I'm done with it forever does not apply here.
Anyway. Looks interesting.

a 4 hour shmup is not short

They couldn't even reach the low bar of TMNT II style, where the only variation is how much reach the weapons had. I call Donnie!

And then when you beat the game with him you unlock white ranger Tommy, right? What a badass moment in the first movie, good times

@ImmaWario Andrei Rublev is a Tarkovsky film as well, close enough haha

Big fan of the book and movie, excited to try this.

@nukatha Yes, came to say that.

@StephenYap3 Original plays a lot like an old school shmup, fast bullets, not very dense patterns. Maniac mode is actually about the same difficulty but slower, denser bullet patterns.

Anyone with the slightest interest in shmups or arcade games in general should give this a go, high quality port of one of the best shmups ever.

@Wisps I'd expect you'd agree with that profile pic ha, prime examples.
"No way I'm restarting Wily's Castle from the beginning again!!"
Good times.

As far as this game goes, looks cool but I already have ghosts n goblins resurrection in the backlog, I'll wait for a good sale price.

It's like playing Celeste normally and playing Celeste for golden strawberries. The game is fun enough for both, but the player's approach to each is very different.

@Lightsiyd agreed about grinding. But I do think there is marathon difficulty and burst difficulty. Most game these days are difficult in short bursts, like your Dread example. And that can be very fun and rewarding.

Less common now is old school marathon difficulty, maintaining high quality play over long periods. Different skills exercised, different approach, both can be great if done well. Admittedly, marathon difficulty leads more often to rage quitting haha but the next time you play you might change your strat. I don't think it's necessarily the game not respecting your time, just that the game has to be higher quality for that type of difficulty to work well.

@Lightsiyd what else is difficulty for? Overcoming difficulty by honing skills is its own reward. Obviously it should be fun, but it's not like difficult and fun are mutually exclusive

@LikelySatan too true.
I think IDW's #1-50 is absolute perfection. Epic, sprawling turtles vs. Shredder story with closure. Check out the hardcovers with all the miniseries and one-shots inserted chronologically, there are a lot.
Last Ronin is awesome too.

@Spider-Kev
Huh, didn't know she was a trans woman until your comment confused me. Her writing is garbage and so is your transphobia.
