Is this hard?

>> No.914981

is the sky blue?

>> No.914982

Yes. It isn't unfair though. Keep at it and you will win.

>> No.915018

Only the last 4th of the game

>> No.915037

It's challenging (and has cheap respawning enemies) but once you memorize certain parts, you'll be alright.

There's nothing cheap about the respawning. It's designed to punish overly cautious players. If you rush ahead like you're supposed to it's no problem at all.

>> No.915067

Not until Stage 6. Then you've got to deal with the endless assraping Jaquio will give you, and going through the whole stage again.

This.

What would you guys say the hardest NES game is (other than games that are only hard because of shitty controls or design)?

>> No.915150

>>915134

My vote goes to Zombie Nation. That game is in full-on Nightmare Mode from the moment you press start.

>> No.915162

>>915134
Would you say silver surfer has a shitty design? if anything it's like other shmups, you just have a massive fucking hitbox.
I'd say that or Zombie nation. Game is balls hard.

>(other than games that are only hard because of shitty controls or design)

I'm guessing you mean "design flaws" and not hard by design. If that's the case, I vote for Battletoads.

Well more or less...

>> No.916321

It wasn't as hard as I expected.

It just took a lot of practice.

>> No.916328

ninja gaiden is only hard if you are slow. the respawning enemies are there to make it so that cautious slow play isnt effective. you need to be fast

lets also not forget you get infinite continues and the ability to 1 shot any boss if you can carry a certain jitsu to him without dying.

ninja gaiden 2 is basically the same thing but the way to 1 shot a boss is harder, you have to get 2 shadow clones, a flame power up, lots of chakra points, and position correctly

ninja gaiden 3 takes away the limited continues but enemies dont respawn so you can play really cautiously and pull enemies 1 at a time once you understand their agro radius
