@Andee Physical cartridges instead of a store Nintendo will close in less than 10 years after the Switch is replaced.
Interested in some of these. The Piko cartridges are always fascinating time capsules of lost and forgotten games. Duke ones look great. Sunsoft is a maybe as well.
I don't understand. How much of it is AI? Some of it? All of it? I can see it being used as a tool, but whatever. I can see why some people would take offense.
It's great that so many shmups have been revived from the Saturn and Dreamcast era in the past few years. I own this on the Dreamcast (actually one of the cheaper shmups), and it's one of the handful of Dreamcast titles that came in a DVD case.
Always interesting seeing cancelled projects get shined up and released. Adding bosses (unless they were already partially implemented) is a big task though. This footage also reminded me how so many GBC games were quite bad. Probably the fault of the hardware more than the developers. It was just underpowered. It's almost certainly my least revisited Nintendo console.
I tried to play this with guides in the past but didn't finish it. I can't wait to dig into this! I looked into playing the leaked English Xbox version, but Xbox emulation just seemed not good enough yet.
This list is pretty good. Dragon's Trap is top for sure. Personally, I think it's the best game of the 8-bit console generation. Also Monster Boy at two, yes! I might flip Wonder Boy in Monster World and Monster World IV, though it's close. I don't think there's any chance I could have completed Monster World without savestates on the Genesis Mini. Apparently they significantly increased the difficulty of the final boss in the US version to the point of being almost impossible, in my opinion.
Very interesting read. There's no question about the jump in quality from the early days to later. Of course, that's not too uncommon. Certain other consoles at the time, like the Saturn, didn't have time to mature in that way, though the footage of Shenmue running on Saturn shows how far that console could have been pushed, if things went differently.
What a fascinating article. Yes, controls are a little looser than LttP, but the story in Crusader of Centy outshines it so much. It's such an ambitious title, and it really does play well. Due to its obscurity in America and very small print run, I never even heard of it back in the Genesis days. I played it a few years ago and loved it so much. The mind bend when you realize, "was I the bad guy all along?" So awesome. And it does things graphically that few other Genesis games did. I was a Genesis kid through and through, and I remember being a little defensive when I'd see how much more colorful SNES games tended to be. This game deals with the limited color palette of the Genesis really well. I wish more people knew about this game.

Re: Guide: Best Wonder Boy Games, Ranked By You
@Pally356 Very impressive. I just watched the JP version of the boss, and he was a pushover. But they went too far the other way for sure.
