Stage Select:
"Donden," which is the "super boss" battle theme from Breath of Fire III. There are boss themes, and then there are "super boss" themes.
Cage match:
Given a choice between a giant insect hunt and battling for dominion of a war-torn China, I'll go for the bug hunt.
This game will always be atop my list of favorite games. So good. It's everything I'd hoped RPGs would be in 5th generation. It was because of this game that I did something I hadn't done since the Atari era: I bought a non-Nintendo system.
Ironically, this game is now on a Nintendo system. Also ironically, you can get it on cartridge in Europe and Asia, in a double pack with FF8. Sony fequently made fun of Nintendo's choice to go with cartridges in its ads for Final Fantasy VII, since that's what cost Nintendo the single most important third party game of the generation.
That's when my huge collection of coin-op classics comes in handy.
I read somewhere that the most frequently landed-on Monopoly property is Illinois Avenue, which is the highest value Red property. The oranges together are the most frequently landed on group.
I get that. But that said, 40 dollars gets you a lot with this package. They did a great job. The only quibble I have is that the SNES version of Turtles in Time doesn't support online multiplayer. The two arcade games, SNES Tournament Fighters, and Genesis Hyperstone Heist do, which makes TMNT 4's lack of it a bit baffling. The SNES version is otherwise better than the arcade version. Other than that minor gripe, this is an incredible value.
I always thought the Game Boy was great and a huge step up from Tiger handhelds. Square did support it early on, and FF Adventure is a pretty stout game that predates Link's Awakening. Loved Kid Icarus as well. Being able to play Super Mario in the car was the equivalent of the moon landing, LOL.
It also seemed to me that developers kind of stepped up their sprite and detail games on the Game Boy to make up for the lack of color. A lot of Samus's appearance and abilities were codified in Metroid II rather than the original.
Its screen is also apparently.a similar display to the e-paper readers like the old Kindles were made of. A lot different than the four-tone green dot matrix display of the old Game Boy.
I've heard of this. I thought at first that it was crank-powered, like an old car or like some of these flashlights I've seen. You probably couldn't build up enough charge to run a game system that way. It's a cute little machine.
Good to see another person playing Fire Emblem: Three Houses. The Switch is a SRPG powerhouse.
Mega Man was one of the few big NES franchises I couldn't get into. I think it was because I wanted to play it like Metroid, and it doesn't play like Metroid nor is it intended to.
I loved Mega Man Legends, though. I was disappointed that the third game got cancelked. I hope Capcom will consider making it for the Switch.
