I like to play pic related every now and then, but I might love Bionic Commando a lot more (I only rarely play it because it's far more demanding). I wonder if the team behind BC is also responsible for GI Joe: The Atlantis Factor (due to the game structure and leveling up system).

Understandable, I found myself enjoying the second more from the more straightforward action and the variety in armor suits, the ability to slide is a good addition too. But the first game still has its upsides with the big sprawling levels and more relaxed difficulty. Both games have great soundtracks and presentation though.

Pic related is also another personal favorite.

Just the action in general feels good. Really my only two gripes with the game are being able to shoot once in the air sucks, and the level 0 punch power is atrocious. Otherwise it has some of the best action on the NES.

I never claimed to be a sensible person. But I genuinely love this game. Fighting against the gravity and exploring those bigass planets is satisfying, and I'd say it's one of the most fair and forgiving Rare games on the NES. Seeing as you effectively have infinite lives as long as you can get your ass back to the mother ship if you pod blows up.

Though really one of the best ways to play this game is to bind the select button to a shoulder button, as you'll be using the boosters a lot. The game also gets way easier when you realize there's no penalty for just leaving your shields on.

I had an issue with the way the swapping mechanic is always crewing you over with the health bar. If your current form has 5 hit points and you're full health, if you switch to another form that has 7 hit points, 2 health points are missing. It may not seem like an issue until you switch to a weaker form and then to your normal self. The player always gets the short end of the stick.
I also had an issue with how they introduce a weapon for the last level. You spend the whole game changing form and feeding candies to cute animals and then, you get a boom stick for the final boss.
Nitpicking side, it's cute and well made.

This was adapted from movie. Nemo learned to use Morning Star near the end, in the final battle with Nightmare King, iirc he needed to say a long-ass spell for it to work (which is represented in the game by holding B button for charging)

But one thing that always bothered me, is that in the game, he carries scepter behind his back right from the start. When I was a kid, I thought you can somehow use it but they simply were lazy with the sprites.

I also wish there was a level where you are flying on the bed. After all, it's on a goddamn box art.

It is such a great game. I rented it a couple times as a child and then nearly forgot about it. /vr/ helped me remember it back in 2014. Tough game too. I remember having several unusual difficulty spikes throughout nestled between fairly easier levels. the train and Nemo's house come to mind.
I'm not sure I can pick a favorite since it has such a remarkable library. Probably SMB3, but pic related is up there, and honorable mentions: Tiny Toons Adventures, Double Dragon, Life Force, Adventure Island 3, and Megaman 2

Adventure Island 1 is nothing but a pure challenge of reflexes and skill. No continues, if you don't use a special item.

Doki Doki Yuuenchi is mildly difficult up until the final stage where it puts your reaction and memory to the test HARD.

Cocoron is pretty challenging on the boss side, especially the fucking Joker. Last stage is also far from cakewalk

Tom & Jerry is a lengthy and quite difficult platformer. Shit gets real at World 4-1.

I don't really consider something an anime if it was made first and foremost for a western audience in english, just because it was animated in Japan. By that logic Batman TAS is an anime.

"Anime" is just a shortened version of word "animation" that Japanese use, and it means any animation. So yeah, Batman is anime. As well as DuckTales and Scooby-Doo (which was created by Japanese artist, by the way).

Little Nemo movie originally involved Hayao Miyazaki and Osamu Dezaki. But then a production hell happened and they left, movie was remade from scratch. We could get an actual anime but we've got something way less appealing.
