As long as you beat a level, you get gold that is used to permanently upgrade your character no matter how many times you die. On easy I was doing pretty well. On hard it was a struggle to beat even one miniboss. You just don't get as many resources to help you in the levels.
WWE Battlegrounds had a rewards quest attached to it this week on Xbox, but I wasn't willing to buy it just for rewards points. I do want to play it though. Maybe it'll hit Game Pass sometime.
I found Sinistar difficult. It was very fast. It was easy to bump into enemy bullets or ships and hard to catch those tiny bombs that popped out of the asteroids.
I think I got my PSP around this time too. My friend and I played Untold Legends co-op through the wifi (or was it bluetooth) connection on two PSPs. It worked most of the time. We got through the whole game with only a handful of dropped connections.
Oh geeze, the Lost game. I forgot about that one. I forget if I finished it or not.
We had tournaments for Super Smash Bros. in my library, before the pandemic. I used to hear them cheering from the stacks where I was shelving books regularly. I'd like to play it mysefl sometime.
Depending on which eggs you hatch, and it seems to be random, all sorts of effects can happen on screen. Sometimes I found it hard to see my own character in all the mayhem. I'd get hit sometimes and not know where it came from. It's not so crazy hard on easy mode. You get lots more eggs that hatch and help you out.
I never saw the arcade game, but I played the Genesis' Revenge of Shinobi. I love the graphics in that game, but I never get very far in it.
I still think of Sinistar too. "Run run" They say one of kids most feared things is of being eaten. Sinistar eats your ship.
It was X-Men for me. I think there was a four-player mega cabinet I used to play.
