Caught an #N64 #Everdrive just in time. Anyone got games or #romhacks to recommend? I had the console growing up so I've played most of the classics

@[email protected] thanks for the recommendation! I haven't gotten into any sort of romhacks for the SNES but I really need to. So many games, so little time
Finished up Yoshi's Island. Fantastic game and shows off how far ahead Nintendo was back then. My biggest complaint is that near the end there were way too many autoscrollers and maze levels.

Overall not as good as Super Mario World (the GOAT), but I'd put it in the same tier as Super Mario Wonder. If you have any interest in platformers it's definitely worth playing even if you're not into #RetroGaming

Finished Super Castlevania 4 yesterday, some thoughts for #RetroGaming
Finished Super Castlevania 4 yesterday, some thoughts for #RetroGaming
- Movement, combat, music were all fantastic as everyone says
- I hadn't seen the rotating room or tunnel before and they managed to wow despite being, you know, 30+ years old
- Nothing was too difficult, but the back half had enemy placements that were either tedious or unfair. That's except for Slogra. Fuck Slogra
- Dracula was a fantastic final boss
Overall really happy with this one! Kirby Super Star is next on my list
Finally got the SNES set up and I'm playing Super Castlevania 4 for the first time and holy moly it's fantastic. I'm having a way easier time getting into it than DKC 2 which came as a surprise. The
Finally got the SNES set up and I'm playing Super Castlevania 4 for the first time and holy moly it's fantastic. I'm having a way easier time getting into it than DKC 2 which came as a surprise. The movement and combat feel super tight and I love that you can moonwalk up and down stairs

@[email protected] I'll have to try those out some time! Currently I'm having a lot of fun replaying these games on my childhood N64 and controller. It's kinda dumb because it is a worse version of the game, but I'm feeling the nostalgia
@[email protected] ooh the Everdrive is on sale, so this is definitely happening
@[email protected] Understandable, on top of being tedious, it's also by far the most challenging temple to complete
Finished replaying Ocarina of Time over the weekend and I'm relieved to say that it still slaps (hot take, I know)

The worst parts of the game, imo, are how much time you spend in menus and traversal, with the Water Temple being the biggest offender
Aside from that though the pacing is actually fantastic, with big story beats hitting quick and hard particularly at the beginning and end of the game
The final battle in particular is insanely hype
