Very cool boss this fish, very shmup-like

The animated talky portraits were super cute. Also like Demo and Iris talking like Mephiles but with their eyes.

The slide under the boss looked like a nice satisfying dance. Reminds me a little of how you interact with the fun bosses in Gunvolt when you're playing as Copen.

Ooh really digged Ghost Woman's design and boss fight, looked delightful. Really great how much personality is coming out of these 8 bits

A bit super late to mentioning this, but I really loved the town theme from world 6 (Neath Dark Waters). Great vibes. Making an effort to cut back on game/media consumption, but one of the drawbacks is missing out on encountering wonderful stuff like that music track. Thanks for choosing it, whoever...

I really liked the together adventure with Uncle B, it was a cute little segment

Big congratulations to the dev team! The ep 1 LP is one I enjoyed immensely back in the day so I know this is going to be awesome too.
Mega congratulations!

People have put up an uncompressed version of the song on youtube

Always a good time to reconsider what you're really getting out of something when the only thing driving you is being able to say you did it, or just to be done with it. I'd say do what gives more enjoyment to yourself.

Oh how fun, I've never watched the original playthrough

Could I get an invite? Thank you!

Oh Marina Madness, such wonderful music in you

Is ASMT-lore Artist a reference to the Artist that's referred to in that summary?

So it's like a Go version of Tetris, interesting. I wonder what the algorithm is that checks if there's a complete loop. Can't think of an elegant one of the top of my head. Maybe if you ignored all but one color at a time and checked if any clumps are only touching that color and/or a wall... or so...

At some point, I'd rather have the game do the Earthbound thing where enemies just die if you're strong enough. Although I'm not sure it'd work here. If the instakill wouldn't work, they could always make it so enemies run away when you're past a certain level. Or was it after you cleared the area ...

He noted how the composer for the series (Nobuo Uematsu) tends to create a specific leitmotif and utilizing it in as many tracks as possible. I feel like that demonstrates his limitations as a composer, since his songs can get very samey at times. Compare this to Yoko Shimomura's work in this game....

I'll randomly toss out a trivia that the four emotions Peach has access to in that game are a reference to the four-character-word/idiom of 喜怒哀楽 kidoairaku . Individually, the characters mean joy, anger, sadness, and humour/calmness, and it's an idiom referring to the spectrum of emotions that peopl...

I think Luigi's kills in Luigi's Adventures count as butt kills too.

I FOUND IT! I finally found it. I'm talking, of course, about the music played during the main menu of the game. The other two music were easy to identify, Minuets in G Major and g minor for the above and under ground levels, respectively. Those two were thought to be written by Bach but were later...

Oasis are in the middle of the desert. Islands are in the middle of the ocean. The desert is an ocean with the perfect disguise above. PS: While the ocean is abundant in water, if we go by how much potable water each has, an ocean may as well be a desert. This is breaking my head trying to decipher...

Are Criticals different from Lucky hits? I don't remember seeing those before. Or are they only for Hand moves?

Also I can't believe I haven't mentioned this until now but I LOVE Cackletta's theme. It's like a classical fugue, and the way they make her boss music into a panicked remix of it is perfect. Went to go take a closer listen to it and yeah, really sounds awesome. Also holy shoot Yoko Shimomura did t...

Over-ing the POW is probably not a bad choice either for the meta reasons of keeping encounters short enough to keep in the video and not slow the pacing as much as possible. Though I understand that the flip-side of this is not being able to see the enemy do their moves sometimes.

Oh, TIL TIL.

It just struck me, but is "Miles Prowler" a pun on moving across large tracts of land?

This entire story is hilarious to me, why do sonic games always have this sort of shadow of ill omens surrounding them haha.
