The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was quite a pleasant surprise I must say. I already liked the original, I wouldn't say it was anything special, but it's not bad either... I had heard nothing but bad things about the sequel though, and while I found the controls to be awkward at first, and found it to be quite cryptic too, reading the manual made it way more straightforward and also fun to play.

It's a MetroidVania/Search-Action title, a simple one really, compared to most others in scope or mechanics, but controlling Spider-Man was fun, its sequel's irredeemable though, fuck TASM 3.

There's not much to talk about with puzzle games, but the great thing it did was give you an item that lets you skip one room/puzzle per world. I'm not a galaxy brain, so this kept me from inevitably getting filtered.

Yeah some of those screens just completely stumped me. Had it not been for the skip I think I would have just dropped it and missed out on the rest of the great game. Music was banging too

If you're a kid who can't just buy any game on a whim and instead you must pick and choose, you might find GB bomberman a better value (can play anywhere with your Gameboy, and get TV action and multiplayer with your SGB)

Regardless how you feel about the SNES counterpart, DKL3 is a legitimately great game with new level designs and good gameplay that avoids the unfair weirdness of DKL1 or DKL2 which, while good, feels like playing a worse version of a better game.

Replayed Final Fantasy Legend 1 and it was good but disappointing (wacky balancing); started playing 2 now which I never played before and it seems so much better already

Mega Man III-V are great. Especially IV and V. Bomberman GB3 is pretty fun. And the Game & Watch Gallery games. Kirby’s Block Ball is also under appreciated.
If GBC titles count, my favorites are Shantae, Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite, Game & Watch Gallery 3, Bomberman Quest, and Mr. Driller.
>>10762724
Donkey Kong ‘94 is actually one of my favorite games of all time, and also the best puzzle-platformer ever. I got Dig Dug GB for Christmas recently and it’s also a fun, but challenging game. I think I got to round 25 on the new mode, shame there’s no password system in that game. I played Burgertime Deluxe on Switch online, and it’s pretty good, but not as good as the other two games you mentioned. Maybe it’s because I’m not into Burgertime as much as Dig Dug.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters
It's jank, monsters don't have effects and it's the most bare bones Yu-Gi-Oh! video game since it's mostly about big numbers winning, though I like how it tried to focus on card type/attribute, for your to build a deck with equips and fields, but I don't know if the execution's as good as it could be, anyways it's the closest we'll ever have to a proper Duelist Kingdom RPG, so I do love it for that reason alone, and the atmosphere's great.

[Anonymous No.10773937]

>>10770869
Yes, they have different levels/bosses. The Famicom version is much harder since the final level/bosses are all one big gauntlet.

Anime-styled roguelike with a surprising amount of depth for a GB game. Has a translation patch, but if you can read katakana for item names, you're set. If you like PMD or Shiren at all, you should check it out.

>can't survive unless agility is high enough and you kill them before he kills you

Goddamnit, I never cared for agility in my entire playthrough. Now I have to grind for hours. There is no other possibilities: they do more damage than the highest possible amount of HP, the attack can't be blocked, AND there is no randomness to their attack (no matter how many times I reset they always do the same attacks in the same order)

FF Legend 2 was good until this point but this final boss rush is a real fuck you. on top of that you can get stuck here if you don't have the item to teleport out, and the entire game is now under earthquake shaking effect even when I exit this place

It's convenient and portable. It doesn't lag. It's way cheaper than consoles and flash carts. I have a MD, Everdrive and a generic CRT but I'm a poorfag so that's all I can afford. The RG35XX cost less than 100 bucks and plays everything.

It's cool that it plays cartridges and it looks sleek aswell. I did mention those emulation handhelds though, and to me they're the better alternative, Analogue Pocket's not worth the price, but if you consider it only for what it is, not the price, it's a really cool device in what it tries to do and does.

I think the release of PowKiddy's RGB30 helped give the Analogue Pocket some competition, its got a 1:1 screen just like it, likely a better choice.

SaGa is full of shit like this, and that's why I hate it. I only beat the first game because the final boss dies to the meme chainsaw.

[Anonymous No.10776282]

>>10776259
Actually I found another possibility: the Explode skill works on those bosses in the boss rush, this skill kills all enemies at the cost of the user's life (which barely matters in this game). The thing is however, good luck having a monster with that skill that can act before getting killed by those dragons.... and Mutants seem to learn the skill and unlearn it completely at random.

However.... A monster eating the meat of this dragon will have the Explode skill so then I raped all 3 next bosses with it and I didn't even feel bad about it. I did have to grind agility for hours to survive that first fight though.
