Retro, the Bane of the Independent!


Posted on 04/01/2013 at 01:33 PM | Filed Under Blogs

I don't really mind that indie games constantly focus on Retro, because it saves them money and means my computer can handle it (I played Street Fighter X Megaman today in fact), but while I haven't actually played any of the ones you mentioned, there are enough IWannaBeTheGuy Let's Plays to last a life time, and it doesn't seem to add anything except "hey, remember when NES games were really fucking cheap? Rather than evolving with the times, we're just going to be really cheap too, and say it's a 'retro challenge.'" At least, that's what it looks like to me.

Case in point: what you talk about in the article hasn't affected me directly, but I see your point from my vantage point, which is located at a distant point from the retro gaming oversaturation experience point.

I've always wanted to play Mario Pinball and Super Princess Peach, as well as Ninja Gaiden!Warioware DIY and Tetris sound like good ones, too.

Be careful of Sonic the Hedgehog for GBA though, I've heard not-so-great things about that port. Looks like you got it for cheap though, so that's good.

And you tagged Miyamoto! With gold pants! Nice!

I like Angry Joe too, but I often have trouble loading his videos, I think in part cause they have more production value than a lot of other tgwtg people. Or at the very least, he uses that green screen way more often than anyone else. lol

So long, folks! I've been hired to work for Capcom now!

I admit, when I saw the title and first paragraph I had my doubts, and especially when you mentioned MM PU 2 & 3 cause I doubt Capcom would be working on those, but a couple other titles had me thinking "well, maybe," then I saw Jill's Sandwich Adventure and I was like nope, definitely a trick. Sure enough. lol

I don't doubt you will, and I look forward to them. You've brought up some cool, obscure games.  Thanks for the kind words. Smile

There was only DK64 and Diddy Kong racing from what Wikipedia is telling me. So I guess I played them all too! lol DK64 also had a little arcade machine somewhere you could play the original Donkey Kong game, so there's another DK game on N64. Can't remember if Diddy Kong Racing had a secret game hidden away like that. Zelda and DK are great though, thanks for the kind words. Smile

Oh, we had the jungle of wires, trust me!

And thank you Smile It's a small collection with a huge Nintendo bias, but money was tight growing up, so when I bought a new game, I wanted it to be one I was going to play a lot. Some of them wound up not having that quality, but oh well. lol

Did you have that Pac Man toy I showed in this blog as a kid? I was curious. The game isn't here any more, but I'll look up that Sonic thing. I remember Lemmings, played that game a lot when I was stuck at school with my mom.
