/vr/ - Retro Games

It tried to be an unholy hybrid of Mario, Zelda and Metroid with mixed results. I first played it on Wii Virtual Console when they refunded me 500 points for having bought the Internet Channel and wasted it on that game on a whim. I could never beat the 2nd boss fortress but I figured I got as far as I could. I beat it last month on NSO using rewind to get the 3 upgrades which make the game WAY more bearable (Rotating shield that blocks hits and do chip damage, a bigger projectile and farther shooting range). With just the shield I think its possible to beat the game normally but the requirements to unlock them are pure utter cancer. Getting randomly nicked by an eggplant and having to slog back to a nurse just because you couldn't read the room in time is also fucking bullshit and whoever came up with that enemy should be castrated. Overall it's a fun little action fantasy game that tried to do too many things at once and suffered because of it. I would have loved a 16-bit followup or remake on SNES since I do like the Greek theming but I understand that not everything was meant to become a blockbuster franchise. I'm happy with the 3 games we got, I don't necessarily want anymore. I would prefer an Uprising port with non cancer controls however.
