Your opinion on the two best sidescrollers for the NES?

>>	NESfag Sat Jul 15 17:58:21 2017 No.4123132 DD is amazing. It's much more than the "Mega Man knock off" some people make it to be. Bucky O'Hare is great but... so much trial&error with death penalty it can be irritating.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 15 18:19:35 2017 No.4123170 DD is good, but it's not THAT good. It's a solid game, but mechanics are rather one-dimensional. Gets a bit stale by the second half, nothing to knock your socks off, really.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 15 18:27:46 2017 No.4123182 >>4123126 I prefer DD. Bucky didn't really click for me. It's hard to describe the reason, it felt more like a puzzle game as each parts of the stage you have to know where to jump and shit to reach the end.

Listen to how fucking metal this game's soundtrack is mang. Those fucking riffs, goddamn. I miss when rock/metal were the biggest influences on video games music -- though admittedly a lot of shit could sound very generic and bad. Not this though. It's pure face melting riff city. Wish some talented band that does that Nintendo soundtrack shit would cover this with real instruments.

The classic Konami vs Capcom argument.

To me Bucky 'O Hare is the clear winner. While DD is just a lamer version of Mega Man, BOH actually tried to do some new things and succeeded. You can tell that BOH influenced future Konami games as well, the character switching is highly reminiscent of Goemon and those diagonal rocks are identical to the last obstacle in Block B-2 of Super Castlevania IV.

What impact did DD leave? Nothing. Also the music is inferior, save the Quacker Jack stage theme which is amazing.

NESfag Mon Jul 17 13:16:13 2017 No.4127404

Personally I like the DD ost more, sure Buck O' Hare's is good, but in DD not only it's more catchy, but it always fits the theme of the stage while nailing the Darkwing Duck wonky spirit.

>>4125395
If there is one thing DD has over BOH is that it really nailed the "comic book / cartoon" style, it's not just some video game adaption with characters from the show, it really belongs with the source material. Even Duck Tales is far from as good as DD in that regard.

No Bucky O'Hare thread may exist without the Bucky O'Hare theme song

I watched the entire series last time we had a Bucky O'Hare-related thread. It was surprisingly good.

I never watched any Darkwing Duck though. For whatever reason, it did not appeal to me. Therefore, objectively, the game is surely inferior.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jul 20 20:16:27 2017 No.4134757 >>4133187 Man, I hate how these old shows are never remastered so we get these shitty blurry shit. Wasn't this based on some comic? I imagine it was pretty violent.

>>4133187
Your logic is flawed, but you're assessment is accurate. I love the Darkwing Duck show, the game is good but definitely at the point Capcom kinda started phoning in licensed stuff.

Their phone ins are still good as lesser developers trying but still a phone in by Capcom in their prime standards.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jul 20 21:04:41 2017 No.4134894 Bucky O'Hare was unusually varied and set-piece laden for an NES title, and it is really just a phenomenal 8-bit title. Darkwing Duck is okay. It's really just another competent generic Capcom platformer from that era.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jul 20 21:15:26 2017 No.4134925 >>4123170 This. I honestly love it (a lot of that could be nostalgia) but it isn't the most enthralling experience overall. It's great fun for a while but has a problem holding interest.

The platforming in this game was pretty great. The bosses suck, though.

Was there another platforming game where you play as a rabbit? On the Bucky wikipedia page I only see the NES game and arcade game. I thought there were some Amiga games or something,
