I just started playing it and it looks like you can toggle which buttons you want for each action.

Oh, and Kire and Perv, you guys need to go down to City Hall tomorrow and turn in your Hardcore Gamer Cards!

Please...I really don't want to go through my credentials, but a few of them include beating all 3 Ninja Gaidens (NES), New Wii Mario (people seem to find it hard), Megaman 9, etc.

Heaven forbid I have a differing opinion on Metroidvania games. I've beaten SOTN, the DS one w/ the paintings, super metroid, and some others. I think my most enjoyable Metroidvania game was the one based off Orson Scott Card's work. Go fig, eh?

Geez, you guys play Demon's Souls, they weren't THAT hard.

Re: Cave Story for Wii actually came out today.

demon's souls doesnt have birds that you just killed respawning directly in front of you as you jump across a hole.

I was kinda hoping that Marcus was exagerating...

But the music... it's like they deliberately made it more 8-bit and campy than it originally was. The message scroll is especially annoying.

So is this like the special edition Star Wars where Balrog shoots first and there are more dragons in the background?

It evokes classic Metroid without the massive backtracking

See? That wasn't so hard. Now I'm more interested.

Re: Cave Story for Wii actually came out today.

metroid's backtracking is a big part of why I like it. revisiting old areas with new abilities and learning new things about them, finding secret items you walked right by before, etc.

nah man. nah.

i mastered the original ninja gaiden and could get up to the final boss without much trouble.

except.

the second form of the final boss shoots fireballs that are impossible to dodge. impossible. i don't think i ever got his second form halfway dead.

and then he has a third form.

oh, and when you die - you go really really really far back. and have to play the hardest sections of the game over again just to get to him.

watch the angry video game nerds video on it and that's exactly how i feel.

i must have played the original ninja gaiden hundreds and hundreds of times.

Re: Cave Story for Wii actually came out today.

I actually just recorded myself beating Ninja Gaiden. I can post it if y'want. The trick is to get the diagonal flame. That really helps. To avoid the flame, do a figure eight pattern, jumping onto the pedestals, then off of them on both sides. When you jump off the pedestals. When you jump off, try to time it so you hit Jaquio on the way down. I keep my eye on the flames more so I can predict their path on when and when not to jump.

I'd love to see it.

Re: Cave Story for Wii actually came out today.
