psycho swordu!

I guess the character changed?

Swinging around a massive metal ball is going to build up chest and arms mass really quick, perhaps that wasn't the image they were going for

>>1276541
Shame. Girls with cartoonishly huge weapons are a pretty good trope.

>>1276531
Is this game hard or do I just suck ass at it?

>>1276693
No, the game is just shit all around, on every platform.

>>1277706
The NES one is at least fair enough that you can make it to level 3 with no problem

The arcade version will randomly send out a flying lazer horse that is hard as hell to hit, much less kill, and usually kills you. It's something to prevent arcade players from milking their quarters by staying in one spot, but it's hard to tell what triggers it.

>>1277727
In the NES one, it seems like it's completely random if you can beat the first boss or not.

Then again, what did you expect from Micronics? This probably has the ugliest color scheme of all NES games, though I admire how Micronics handled how the armor and colors work.

>>1277783
I always took it for what it was.
The Color scheme always seemed appropriate. LIke I was fighting in a lisa-frank binder or something.

>>1277871
I want to ROM hack this game to alter the palettes to match the arcade game closer. Should be one of the easier hacks one can do.

>>1277706
>>1277727
Other than the stupid as hell jumping controls, I didn't think it was that bad but it is relentlessly difficult.

>>1277943
Yeah, this was when developers still hadn't figured out how to make character jump like super mario.
This ones an odd duck, because the jumping is pretty responsive, it just has some convoluted as fuck rules surrounding it.

>>1276541
Something like this?

>>1277972
Why is the boxart to this game always so amazing?
It seems so out of place with other Western Boxart.

>New Athena game (which looks actually good)
>Only for japanese mobile phones
Fuck you SNK Playmore! And I never found the jar file in order to play it.

>Athena got moe-metized

Is nothing sacred?

>>1278664
This is official art for her first game. She was always like that. Hell, I'd say this one is even cuter

>>1278692
She looks like an old-school Anime girl.

>>1278103
She looks like a modern anime girl, right down to moe eyes and blushes and rubbery reflections.

>>1277984

yeah it's pretty rad.

also nipples

Has anyone beaten Athena?

>>1278707
>rubbery reflections
This is something I really don't get. Why do modern anime women always have shiny skin? Is that considered attractive? I think Tomoko is hotter than all those cookie-cutter "babes."

>>1278867
>Tomoko is hotter than all those cookie-cutter "babes."
Pretty bold statement considering Tomoko is a disgusting, idiotic, bitchy social reject.

>>1278891
When you put it that way, I guess it's obvious why I sympathize with her. :/

>>1278850
On an NES emulator, yes.
Even with quick saving it was hard as balls, there was some special trick to even getting to the last world.

I tried beating the Arcade version, but it's way too hard.

>>1278707
> Moe never existed in the past!!!!1111

She looked extremely moe in the first game.

Deal with this.

>>1278707
Looking modern or old-school has nothing to do with "moe".

Digital coloring vs water based paint coloring

>>1278925
...and yet you still insist on namefagging all over /vr/

>>1278664
She looks better now.

>>1278970
Yeah, watercolors always seemed more "real" to me.

>>1279020
Because it at least gives off a sense of detail to flat colors. Digitally coloring with flat colors will always look, well, flat.

>>1279063
>Because it at least gives off a sense of detail to flat colors.
No.

>>1278867
I would hug Tomoko.

>>1279063
Digital coloring allows more details.

Other techniques are outdated.

>>1278850
> that bulge

>>1279092
>bulge
It's puffy vulva, you swine.

>>1279096
Too puffy.

>>1278850
Beat her?
I would flay her with whips covered in glass.
I would make her entire body bleed and force her to beg me for the sweet release of being allowed to scream...

>>1279130

>>1279103
No such thing.

>>1278891
>Tomoko is a disgusting, idiotic, bitchy social reject.
And yet she's still more favorable

>>1278971
don't forget about me. please give me attention too. please recognize that I'm a namefag. i need it to sleep tonight.

also, everyone knows Watamote was the best anime during its season. (attack on titan ain't got shit on it).... but back to gaming discussion... I've been meaning to play athena and plan to do so soon.

>>1280952
Or maybe you just have terrible taste.

Nobody gives a fuck about your love affair with a fictional character, stay on topic of fuck-off.

>>1278867
I had a dream that I saw this girl that resembled Tomoko and commented on it. She mentioned something about comparing herself to Tomoko on some website, to which I ask if it was /vr/. She said yeah and implied it was you, so something happened and then we fucked.

That is if you are a grill

Polite Sega for off topic.

How does Psycho Soldier hold up?
