Always hear tons of praise for Dragons Trap and Monster World IV but none for this and it's my favorite Wonder Boy game

The impressive thing about SoR3 (even BK3) isn't just that it's not a good Streets of Rage game, it's just not a good game period.

[Anonymous No.10866339]

>>10866285
The decrease in power from all characters from SOR1 and 2 makes this one a little long (compared to all other beat em ups and the other 2) and makes the US/EU versions a little too hard for its own good after the changes were made for the lower difficulty levels, but still a very good time. Music continues to get better over time (I think I've been listening to it more than the other two games nowadays). I would love to see a open source port of this that combines both versions together kinda like Sonic 3 AIR or Sonic 3 Complete.

Dragon Quest 2
Final Fantasy II
Ninja Gaiden 3
also this >>10866317

Some people would probably call me a contrarian, others would think I'm baiting; but I genuinely believe that. Although in the case of DQ2 and FF2 they share the spotlight with DQ8 and FF8 respectively. I'd almost include Zelda II as well if I wasn't so partial to Link's Awakening due to it being my first Zelda.

It's impressive how many improvements SoR3 brought to the table, just for them to be tossed in the trash in what that I call "the Mega Man 2 syndrome".

Design-wise this game is like if there was a Castlevania IV on the NES. It picks up perfectly from where the original games left off and fits right in.

[Anonymous No.10866737]

Final Fantasy III is by far the best FF NES, if not the best RPG in general for the console, but is overlooked because it never released on the console in the US.

Certainly the best snes castlevania but far from the best game. It's just jank playable, the game feels so wrong with its reused graphics and romhack feel.

Dragon Quarter was a weird game with a lot of jank mechanics, but I liked it.
I always wished there was a squeal to this that refined things. I liked the ideas.

the 2nd game is better, but the third is still pretty good.
its just that the big steamy turd that was the SOR3 "localization" by SOA kinda ruined its legacy.

i guess 8 could also be considered the black sheep and i'd have to agree there but not a lot of people like this one either, and i don't know why unless it's just burner man and king stage 2. really good design in every other regard, really good music, cool "bestiary" feature etc. actually the non retro games are the best ones but it's the best retro classic mega man.
