I have always liked the box art for Bart vs the Space Mutants. There is a lot happening in it, which really caught my eye when I was a kid.

I loved my virtual boy when I was a kid. It felt like the future or something. It didn’t have a lot of great games, but I did get most of the best ones when blockbuster video started clearing out their inventory and sold games for like $5 each.

Wow, it cleaned up real nice!

Looks kind of like NES Remix, but without the remix.

It’s interesting that they are bringing this f-zero stuff to switch now. They had f-zero 99 and now this. I wonder if it could be signaling a new f-zero game in the future.

Settle it in smash?

Love the puzzles and gameplay, but the games always have this boring and dreary feeling to them, in my opinion. Like the music and the colors just make me feel depressed just looking at it. Anyone else get that impression from the Layton games?

Once you learn the layout of the map it’s not really that tough. As a kid it was pretty common to just play over and over again, so it doesn’t really take all that long to learn where the bombs are. It was the following level that I couldn’t ever beat…

It sounds like it will be a fun game, but I worry about replay value. When I was a kid, I played the heck out of all the Mario games. It was often out of necessity because it just took so much time to learn all of the courses to be able to progress. When I was older and the NSMB series came around, not only did they just feel kind of basic and lacking in new ideas, but I was able to complete most courses on the first try, and then never have much incentive to go back. The 3ds game was probably my favorite of those, actually, because the coin collecting mechanic actually gave a reason to keep playing.

I guess we will just have to see how this one works out.

But the bigger question is, how will this be abbreviated? SMW is already taken!

Insightful post into fzero as always! I’ve definitely noticed that it does feel more and more difficult to place well as time goes on and the game becomes more populated with seasoned players. I’m currently A+ rank and have yet to get a win. I only play a few races per day usually, though. I got 2nd place in a grand prix yesterday, so maybe I’m not too far off from a win.

I started out playing as Blue Falcon, but I’ve switched to the wild goose, as it just feels easier to do well with it. I think the nature of the game having so many players, it’s beneficial to be able to freely attack them without much consequence. Especially in the Grand Prix, getting early KOs feels like a huge advantage.

Could you elaborate on why you think Blue Falcon is bad on Mute City?

Also any tips on when to use the skyway, other than maybe save it for the most difficult part of the track?

Mute City and Big Blue both feel challenging to me. I tend to do much better on all the other tracks. I think it’s more to do with the fact that these tracks are the most commonly selected and also the easiest, so most of the other players are able to do pretty decently, and everyone ends up bunched up together.

If I don’t care about stories and I just want to play a game with fun gameplay, is this for me?

Does this include the dlc?

I bought one of these back in the day, but never got very far in it. I tried them briefly on emulators a couple times over the years but still never really made much progress.

In comparison to other Zelda games, I just seemed to keep getting lost or stuck in these. Did anyone else have a similar experience? Maybe I’ll give these a try again while following a guide.

That’s odd, I thought the TurboGrafx was cheaper than the snes and Genesis.

There are usually several people who are all similarly qualified for a position. People often get chosen for arbitrary reasons like being friends with the person doing the hiring.

I can’t see myself paying that much for a simple plush toy, but it is pretty cute though. eBay has it 10 bucks cheaper if you don’t want to go back.

Wow, that game brings back so many great memories. I had played the original maniac mansion on the Nintendo. Then after my family got a PC, my dad took me into the city to one of those big box computer stores for some reason. As we quickly walked down an aisle full of games, this box with a tentacle on the cover immediately caught my eye. I hadn’t heard any news about this game, but I saw that tentacle and I just knew. And after pleading with my father, I walked out of there with that game, and it blew my little mind.

I didn’t want to use dupe glitches in this game, but the economy is ridiculous. Basic armor sets are priced like luxury commodities.
