I still have no idea how they got away with taking the generic scientist and body guard faces from 1 and pretending they were characters. Like what other game has gaslit you into remembering not real characters before

I think your advice is pretty good, like dont torture yourself if you are hard stuck. But its definitely worth trying to not resort to save states, which seems to only becoming a bigger problem with how widespread the fucking rewind button is (unironically the worst thing to happen to old games)

The trick to the final mission is to literally fly by both Nineballs. Do not even attempt to fight them, just keep moving and its surprisingly smooth sailing after the platforming section from hell

Today is the day, Poporogue PS1 full english patch v1.0 is released now! translated from JP>EN! www.romhacking.net/translations...

Poporogue is a turn-based mix roguelike elements, as
second game that set in dream world with mercenaries system where you can hire and recruit party members.

Oh hell yeah have been super looking forward to this translation!

It probably didn't help that in Fusion you can just ledge grab, while in Zero Mission its an item you have to pick up early on that is basically like "You can finally actually go places now." It isn't just a small help to the player, the level design requires you to do it

I knew it lmao. That game really abuses it, I think it was a big side effect of them wanting the original level design in a lot of spots while also wanting to keep that heavy snappy movement of Fusion. On those long vertical shafts where you ledge grab like every single platform it sucks so bad

Metroid Zero Mission did this to you didn't it

I'm assuming he is talking about how the game design is very mobile driven. Its more about doing tons of micro short challenges instead of just settling in to play through full courses.

I legitimately think they do it to tempt you to buy the games your friends are playing. Like when I got addicted to Kenshi for a month so many people messaged me about it just from seeing the notification pop up so much on their end.

Guardian Crusade is a must for compulsive must check every bit of flavor text gamers.

Save states are rad with the right amount of self control, but emulators adding rewind buttons is a fucking travesty.

Rhapsody starts out super strong, but has one of the biggest nose dives in quality after the first few hours I have ever seen in a game. Those dungeons are pain

I learned so late not to knowing Kenichi Nishi (Tenshi no Uta Planner, Moon & Incredible Crisis Game Design) is teaming up with Yukihito Morikawa (Pet in TV, Astronoka Game designer & Jumping flash! series Producer).

The most obvious is how JRPG is such an entrenched term these days but we went a very long time without using it. It took shockingly little time for it to become a standard term.

Ninja Gaiden Ragebound is mid as hell. Doesn't understand a single thing that made the NES games good and is boring overdesigned modern action game slop

Tested one the other day in the input menu and it honestly might be even more borked than the Switch 1 Pro Controller. Don't know how they messed up the dpad twice when the rest of the controller is great.

The new Shinobi is visually outstanding but looks so mechanically uninspired. Turning 2d Shinobi into a beat em up should be fucking illegal. You can't see a single bit of the original game design in the gameplay footage. What is even the point of making this a Shinobi game.

We're proud to announce HilltopWorks is partnering with Marvelous/XSEED and Implicit Conversions to translate and re-release Japan-only PS1 game Milano's Odd Job Collection! youtu.be/Xy_ruUqa7fc

I feel like gaming websites and press just shouldn't even bother covering stuff like the Witcher 4 tech demo. Like seeing a character walk around in town in what is literally not the fucking video game tells us nothing and is absolutely worthless.

Not long until Deltaday.

Anemo, a red character with rosy cheeks, a big nose, and an Anemometer on their head. They're wearing a green boiler suit with yellow boots and a backpack.

Vane, a yellow character with small dot eyes, a round orange nose, and a weather vane with an orange bird on his head. He's wearing an orange boiler suit with green gloves and boots, and a brown waist bag.

Turbine, a green character with large white eyes with small pupils and eyelashes, freckles, a protruding upper lip with buck teeth, and a wind turbine on her head. She is wearing a white suit with orange accents and a satchel.

Fandroid, a blue robot with a single yellow eye placed asymetrically on the right side of its dome shaped head with a fan on top. Its body is roughly cylindrical with bolts holding it together, with a gauge on the left side of its body. Its arms are long metal tubes ending with claws. from its back, various pipes and antennae stick out.

The backgrounds in this game looks fantastic. I def will have to check this out sometime
