Why has this platformer never been renewed? I loved playing this series on NES. The SNES remake was terrible.

Super Adventure Island II was cool and pretty but still too unpolished for its 1994 release. It felt like Hudson was still getting its feet wet with supporting the SNES after spending so much time pumping out PC Engine exclusives like there's no tomorrow. Their later games are much better.

The real answer is Konami bought Hudson Soft, cancelled all HS's in-development games and hoarded HS's IPs without ever really using any of them. Then Konami stopped making games altogether for a long time because gambling machines were more profitable. Recently passed laws closing the loopholes on gambling has caused Konami to dabble in making video games again so it's possible they'll make a new Adventure Island game but still unlikely

Seems like a pretty polished game to me with lots to explore, a big map and cool powerups.

Is spending hundreds on retro physical media some sort of coping mechanism or actually a based counter cultural move?

I used to have lots of retro but now my collection has been thinned down to like 30% of what I had. Not even for the money, but just to get rid of the clutter. Ps2 in particular no longer needs discs to play games.

The backlash to all digital ps6/xbox 5 is warranted, but more people need to be advocating for piracy
>>
>>12694760
I wish I had the willpower to cull my collection but I was raised by hoarders and I still get stuck in that mindset of needlessly wanting to collect things I know I don't need. I just spent about $500 about a month ago buying 2 N64 consoles and about 50 Japanese games only to realize they look and play like shit on original hardware and I can get a way better experience just emulating them on my PC. If I had any sense I would be selling my stuff now while the prices are high instead of just trying to acquire more. I really don't need the money though so it's hard to actually find the incentive
>>
Buy movies, pirate games.

I'm having a lot of fun with this game. I only have one (and a half) complaints:
>1. Why did they remove the long jump?
The only other gripe I have with this game can basically amount to a skill issue on my end. The non-F.L.U.D.D levels kicked my ass (especially those cubes that turn while you're on them)
I'm contemplating on whether or not I should collect every blue coin and sprite before moving onto the next level

>As for the non fludd levels, I thought those were the best part of the game. I would totally play a Mario game that was just a series of that and I'd love it.
I have always said the same thing. 3D World is a bit like this, although the non-open world challenges in Bowser's Fury are the closest you'd get to them.

I just love the original Mega man, call it jank all you want but it's very well balanced and the challenge is very reasonable considering the sea of Nintendo hard games that existed around this time. Of course you'll get shitter contrarians who say MM1 is a terribly designed and janky game but gargle the balls of MM3 but you can't win 'em all.

MM1 has the most balanced weapons distribution in the entire series. Only Gutsman is a bit useless due to being entirely situational.
Everything else is well balanced with no clear OP weapon and plenty of uses for everything.

But that's not what retards want. They want one OP weapon that you can acquire easily at the start of the game and then everything else be useless and simply bounce off enemies every time you try to use them. You know, like in the so called "best Mega Man game".

On the bright side of things, using a speedrun as an argument isn't the most retarded thing you could do. You could be one of those people that uses "longplays" without realizing that they are TASes.
>>
>>12693785
MM1 and X1 are still my favorites out of each series. They felt fairly balanced and simple in a good way. They also seem the most memorable for whatever reason, I thought it might just be from them being the first game in each series but I also played Mega Man & Bass and don't really remember much about it.

so there was an ongoing fan translation project for this game but recently some faggot dropped an AI slop english patch which led to the guy who was working on the project to give up
this won't be the last incident of this kind, expect more fan translation projects to die because someone will use AI to ''translate'' a game he have no desire to even playtest it (see Langrisser 5 for an example)

this is the future, enjoy it!!!

Why were there basically zero GTA clones that tried to copy the so-called 2D GTA games? I get that making something like Driver was more of a no-brainer with the consoles of the late 90's, but surely there was still a market for something with GTA1's arcadey look and feel?
