It looks exactly like the Axelay effect, with the exception that it doesn't have a fog near the horizon. The background manipulation looks spot on. Can anyone who disagrees please elaborate why you do so? It is the background stretched vertically at different amounts depending on the scanline height on the screen, with no stretching being done horizontally.
I wonder if they will keep a certain cameo character in the game. Somehow I feel like nintendo abandoned that one and they will replace it with someone way more famous.
@NerdyBoutKirby To be fair nothing is random in games. It's all deterministic. In this case once you learn the cause you can manipulate it, as it was a deliberate design choice that it would feel random until you learned it. So you were also right.
@Devlind If it is possible to play offline then that should be possible forever. It's either never or always. An arbitrary amount of time is just that, arbitrary. I'm baffled that people don't find this unacceptable.
I've been making a game with GMS2 and many people tell me "it would be perfect on the switch!". I'll try to do it sometime after launch, but as a really really small developer it's hard to pay for development costs AND the license AND the switch devkit. That may be good though because it keeps that trash away. Anyway, a little advertising, follow me on twitter ^^ https://twitter.com/bitinkstudios
"This distinction matters, as it means the team is not bound to the limited number of frames 16-bit consoles could handle" Wonder Boy wasn't bound by this either, so that's a misleading phrasing.
@PerdeskiCloyn The moment the website with "nintendo" on its title doesn't know anything about the super nintendo is the day retro gaming dies. That day is today.
There are countless games that area DEAD now. Youtuber Ross addresses this well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS9vvF1V1Dc . Mostly, games that are online only, or online multiplayer or that require an online authentication can and are shutdown by the publisher at any time and there is nothing anybody can do about it. It`s a pretty serious issue. More serious than shutting down ROM sites because not even PIRACY can fix it.
I don't get it. What's the alternative? Not to buy from Africa? I bet that would be worse for their economy since it's less international money going in. Or would it be better to try to force African suppliers to do things correctly by current other parts of the world standards? In that case wouldn't their price necessarily go up thus making African supplies become less competitive, making them lose the business anyway? And how would you force that? I'm genuinely asking, I don't know this issue in particular, just trying to analyse it from a realistic perspective. It seems possible that the solution isn't to simply boycot companies, you could be hurting those you're trying to defend. Unless I'm wrong and they could change easily. edit: okay I read it again and it seems that the problem isn't the slave-like line of work per se, but the funding of armed conflict.
I never thought this was a fun game, even in the 80's. Maybe in the EARLY 80's it could be, but I was too young. It's a very boring game, there are waaaaaay better games made at the same time this was made.
@IceEarthGuard @BAN Thanks! At first I simply used my spot-the-differences-blazing-fast-award-winning-technique of going cross-eyed but that did not show me all of the differences! So I figure a gif would
It's obviously a seweing pedal. Seriously. If you watch the trailer she is pushing up and down in the same motion a sewing pedal is used to rotate the wheel.
Pushing Onwards is the greatest videogame song of all time. How dare you call it "simple"? Wait, I mean Potential for Anything. Or was it Passion for Exploring? Predestined Fate? Positive Force maybe? Yeah, they are all tied for the title. Man I love Potential for Anything so much. This song is amazing.
@eltomo I had it (Super Off Road), but the game is really super shallow and easy. Perhaps only fun in multiplayer. The soundtrack is absolutely incredible though, and I listen to it quite often.
What a load of ****... If they went on and produced again the same amount of already produced NES minis it still wouldn't meet demand! Why didn't they? It is another reason.
I'm done with nintendo. Seriously. I can't even update the new zelda on my wii u because there's no space in it. The update is several gb. And now I can't buy something they made because they don't want me to.
So, Nintendo reached Apple with the question "what technology should we use to get performance on mobile?" and Apple replied "Unity 3D". That's the story. Great marketing for Unity!
