What do you mean not 100% Mario game? The game it's based on, Doki Doki Panic, was made by the same designer/developers (Miyamoto and team), which is why the platforming elements and characters control just like the other Mario games. It even has the POW block from the original arcade Mario Bros. When they converted it to Super Mario Bros. 2 for the US market, they spruced it up a bit and changed the characters to the Mario characters, but the game always had a Mario influence.

@@MetalSmasherGaming Actually his smart fans understand that AVGN is a character, and not indicative of the man who portrays him. Simon's Quest is not really that bad, neither is a decent handful of LJN titles. I like his work, but don't always agree with the game choices. I'm just glad he finally covered The Town With No Name, which nearly everyone would agree is one of the worst things ever produced. I waited for that episode for years, I knew eventually it would come.

Not hard it was extremely methodical and formulaic... Once you figure out the flow you can pretty much do it without getting hit even once and I am saying that although i am a pretty average gamer and not a perfectionist by any means but back in the days one of my friend had the game and we borrowed it everyday for a hour or so and after playing it a week or so we finished the game everytime sometimes getting one or two hits overall...

Indeed! Batman was probably a bit underrated during the NES era, but has gotten an upswing in later years thanks to the speedrunning scene. And it has stood the test of time really well. The backgrounds are unbelievably good looking considering the color limitations and the music is just amazing and has some of the very best tunes on the entire console. The game is also perfect in length for some 8-bit modern day action.

Baseball stars best baseball nes game
@doolindanger24595 жыл бұрын
Agree. However I loved the FIRST Bases Loaded by Jaleco too. I could pitch a perfect game through 7 innings with FOX on Philly every time. He had a pitch that if you did the right controller move, would result in a strike call every time and was unhittable through 7 until his arm tired. Generally this meant a win anyway. Also, you can CRACK the Bases Loaded code by taking the code from two games played, then counting the spaces between each letter to get your next one. EXAMPLE: If "A" is in the 1st code, and "E" is in the same position in the 2nd code, the next code it would be "I" - I cracked this at 13 and ended up getting a Philly team that had more wins than games played.

KI is a very hard game when you first start out. it will train you to platform jump for sure) 6) R.C. Pro Am. (The funnest racing game on the NES) 7) Kid Niki Radical Ninja (fun little side scroller) 8) The Guardian Legend (totally unique mix of genres) 9) Crystalis (great ARPG) 10) Super Dodge Ball (probably my fave sports game on the NES)

I’m late to the party but I might blow some minds with this one. Remember the secret to Miyagi-Do? The spinning drum? Remember how Daniel beats chozen by countering left and right? Well same principle applies to that swinging spike thing. If the spike is coming to your left, just before it gets to you, you hit right (towards the spike) and as it passes you hit left. The game tries to recreate the rotation of the hips And as it passes you, you do the opposite. Left then right as the spike passes you.
