Forums - Gaming Discussion - The Golden Bolt Reviews: Super Mario Bros. AND The Lost Levels

DivinePaladin on 09 June 2016

After a short delay due to a packed last couple weeks at work and other stuff, I'm back with another review. Or rather, two! I felt like playing some NES platformers and I hadn't played Mario in a while, so for the next couple weeks I'm doing an NES Mario marathon!

And I'm still taking suggestions for games to do, although admittedly I probably won't pick out of a hat until like July at this point because I had some plans change for Toomanygames this year. Either way, suggest away if you have any games you wanna see me do, and feedback is always appreciated!

 

(I'll check back later, I'm at work right now while posting this lol)

Just checked your Mega Man review. It was their first game in the franchise and it actually has some flaws and odd design choices, and that's what makes Mega Man 2 even more awesome and perfect.

As for the strange cover art work.... check out The Guardian Legend on the NES. By far it is my most beloved game on the NES ever. Nothing comes close to it.

Japanese Cover Art:

Europe:

USA:

 

 

This game need more attention

Having gone through all the classic MM games in the span of a month around this time last year, I can't wait until I decide to do 2 for that very reason. 

 

And I've never actually heard guardian legend, I'll have to do some research on that one!

My bad on the double post, I missed your comment somehow and I want to make sure you get the quote bump on your end. I was just curious about what parts you disagreed with. It's possible that I just worded something poorly in recording - I missed a couple of minor elaboration lines that I wanted to do but forgot to write in the script so it could be one of those lol

Not big disagreements at all! Just little stuff. I think SMB holds up really well in 2016. I replayed the game late last year and loved it :)

But for the most part I think you're right on! I totally agree about the importance of Miyamoto's steady hand, and the elegant simplicity of the game.

Oh okay, I gotcha! I read "don't completely agree" as "have some disagreements" lol.
