the yoshi turning into things bits are ok, but the egg thing is a rilly genius way to structure it as something mildly puzzlelike.
the fact that if you fuck up you can always try and catch baby mario is a nice twist, b/c it gives a nicer, saner, sort of "breathing room" than losing one time mushroom powerups, etc.
the first time i lost mario i freaked the hell out. now i'm used to it happening a few times per level.
i also like the self-conscious nod of bringing back the super mario 2 characters, and the hovering jump is so addictive!

The barrel shooting was amazing, you'd complete a section and be like "how the fuck did I just do that!"

This is why I so enjoy the way katamaris can pull themselves back from the most extreme angles and edges.

SO MUCH FARMING OF COCK going on. Enough to make a sequel to "Harvest Moon" from it.
GODDAMMIT I JUST WANT A ROM OF EARTHBOUND IS THAT SO FUCKING HARD
in other news, i found my four-year-old savestates from the last time I played Chrono Trigger. Should I beat the rest of the game, or start over from the beginning?

Or at least it's got a rep, and I'd check it out, if I was like some of you people and had time to do things like that
(NB I did get to the second pendant in Link To The Past GBA version, yesterday during pauses in the football games)

Your soldiers consist of knights, wizards, healers, bird men, gladiators, beast men, dragons, undead creatures, giants, angels, demons, and more[!!!?!?!?] . You put together units of five and send them across a huge map to liberate towns and combat enemies.

contender for best thing that happened to me this weekend:
i was walking down the street in milwaukee, and what do i see but a PILE OF SNES GAMES on the curb. not terrible games either! i grabbed donkey kong country (never played it before) and f-zero.
when i was walking away, a middle-aged dude with a white mustache and biker jacket was walking the other way, and he says, "oh, i put those there, you can have them." !!!
― Jordan, Monday, 7 April 2008 14:41 (sixteen years ago) link
should i have taken donkey kong 3 too?
the donkey kong country games are amazing. almost mario-level. yes you shoulda if it's dkc3 you're talking about.
― s1ocki, Monday, 7 April 2008 16:39 (sixteen years ago) link
i don't know why i wasn't more greedy. like i was leaving some for the next nerdy twenty-something who walked by.
i started playing dkc1 last night and it is indeed some great shit.
― Jordan, Monday, 7 April 2008 16:56 (sixteen years ago) link
can't believe a snes game exists that is named after not one but TWO queen songs! must play!
― r1o natsume, Monday, 7 April 2008 17:17 (sixteen years ago) link
ogre battle is really hard. tactics ogre, fft, and vagrant story (the creator Yasumi Matsunoare's other games) are all better.

Imagine my surprise years later when I figured this out! (Became a Queen fan later) Man, I love Queen II.
That game was kinda mindblowing to appear on the SNES at the time, since there weren't that many strategy titles on consoles in general, AND this game didn't exactly have a huge print run. Also the music in the game is fantastic. But the game itself is ridiculously hard as balls, unforgiving and each map takes ages to play. I tried to get through this game probably half a dozen times, I wanted so much to be able to love it.

haha okay so friends and i were walking back from the bar last week and someone had left a BIG SCREEN TEEVEE on the curb. so we hauled it back to my friend's place and set it up in his backyard and while the picture is pretty poor it still works and so we hooked up an SNES to it.
so can u guyz recommend to me some awesome SNES games that use the multitap? so far we've got Secret of Mana and Super Bomberman 2 and Peace Keepers.

NHL 94 and any Bomberman are exactly what you need

After watching all those Super Mario Maker vids I got the itch, but don't have a Switch. So I pulled out this old 'FC Twin' bootleg machine that plays both NES and SNES cartridges (it has an 8 bit/16 bit switch and two slots), and the original Super Mario World.
I'd forgotten that even when you save your game (which you can only do after beating certain worlds), it doesn't save your extra lives or powerups. And after moving the console, the screen got all glitchy so I hit reset, and all the save slots were cleared. It's all part of the experience.
