Bbbbitch.

I really liked Donkey Kong on Game Boy, shit's amazing. Also kind of a prequel to all of Mario if you take the ending into account. Really interesting game.

>>2743817
Shit, now I wish I could play it at all. Is Virtual Boy emulation a thing?

>> No.2743839

for some reason I could never really get into the bonk games, I'm not saying that they were bad games, just there was just something about them that I could never put a finger on that put me off of them.

It is a thing, but although you will be missing the 3D effects and it might get double image unless you disable one of the layers I guess. I never messed too much with VB emulation.

i could never get into Sonic, so it's all good.

Bonk is slow and kinda clunky, but thats cuz he's got a big head

Bonk is about the exploration, fruit collecting and fun bosses

Just replayed this. Meh.
It's good just because there's wario in it.
Uninteresting levels, boring enemy design.
Good music and bosses, good progression. That's about it. Wario Land 1 and VB Wario Land still win.

All 3 Shantae games are pretty dope, especially Shantae and the Pirate's Curse

very reminiscent of Wario Land, actually

The original Shantae is tedious as hell, I don't blame you for not getting into it. Risky's Revenge is mediocre- decent concepts, bad execution and obviously rushed.

Pirate's Curse is damn good, though.

First Shantae has way too much backtracking and a really bullshit way of unlocking quick travel. The rest you need to get off your ass and play.

Honestly the biggest complaint I can think of about DKC2 is that the visual style can make it sort of unclear precisely when ledges end.

It's kinda hard since everything kills you in one hit, but there are plenty of check-points and infinite continues. Super well designed, very fun, the fighting game bosses are a bit enjoying and the sword feels underused, but still an amazing game.

Ofcourse completly playable without knowing Japanese.
