Re: PEPSIMAN - *Endgame 90s electronica* PEPSIMAAAAAAAAAN

I would consider Pepsiman to be my 2nd favorite video game starring a soda mascot, after Cool Spot for the SNES.

Also, I love how 1 o’ the falling signs in the factory is the Pepsiman equivalent to a kaizo block, just suddenly going, “Nope, you go in a pit”.

Re: request grab-bag

implying wario will ever be considered complete I mean, there are other WarioWare games… ( tho good luck emulating Twisted! well — which is too bad, since it’s 1 o’ the best & I’d love to see raocow be baffled @ some o’ the souvenirs, like the “SUV Grater” or the bobble head where you have to s...

Re: BANJO-TOOIE - Observing the Houses of Some Poor Souls

While I certainly don’t mind them permanently saving the notes you collect, I don’t like how they lumped them together into large clumps that are sparsely placed. 1, it makes them barely feel any different from any o’ the other rare collectibles, like the Jinjos; but 2, the useful thing ’bout mass-c...

Re: WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$ - GRID!

I can confirm that a’least in the US this game was advertised as having o’er 200 games on the back o’ the box. Also, its manual came with stickers it encouraged you to place thruout the manual & pages with activities like a word search:

Re: WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$ - THREAD!

I like the idea o’ a grid episode appearing e’ery once in a while in the middle of other LPs @ random without any warning, pattern, rhyme, or reason, just like the Wario intro microgames in the nature games. ’Twould fit WarioWare perfectly.

’Nother fun fact ’bout the paper plane microgame: the long version in this game uses the level theme from Wario Land 4 ’s “The Curious Factory”.

Re: BANJO-KAZOOIE - Making an Engine Sputter to a Halt

Hot take: “Rusty Bucket Bay” is the best level in the game. 1 thing Rare is great @ is making excellent hard levels that are just as famous as infamous ( DK64 is arguably the exception if we count infamously hard minigames ), which is always a great idea for making players less pissed @ you. Much li...

Re: BANJO-KAZOOIE - Making a Church Graveyard Thank You

That board game minigame felt like a DK64 minigame, specially with the bad camera that could’ve easily been avoided if they just had it all in a top-down view.

Re: donkey kong country returns - He's Finally Back

After what I thought to be the truly great stuff in this game for world 7 comes the worst boss in the game. DKCR giveth, then taketh ’way.

The upcoming temple level, howe’er, is 1 o’ the few autoscrollers I like, since it actually forces you to keep going fast… if I remember correctly…

Re: Spyro (2) - Ripto's ceiling crab

See, now in this raceway Hunter is actively trying to prevent you from getting the orb by deliberately muddling the order o’ the Superman 64 rings. Hunter truly is a villain in this game.

Re: Spyro (2) - Ripto's bizarre title stylization

I generally prefer the Reignited remakes, but 1 change I didn’t like was that they made Hunter no longer talk like he had a lobotomy & just made him talk like a stoner, which is less funny. I also love how ridiculous it is that Hunter is holding out on an orb you need to collect to stop Ripto &a...

I don’t like this cat. raocow can tell the future. Also, ¿were they too cheap to buy Elora & Hunter’s voice actors pop filters when recording their lines for the opening cutscene or is that just the sound compression? I’m mixed on Spyro 1 vs. 2 . On 1 hand, Spyro 1 felt like ’twas the same thin...
