Rockman & Community / X / X6's difficulty like Castlevania's?

I think we've all seen the Sequelitis episode where egoraptor talks about the difficulty in CV1 being a good thing, and how it makes you stop and think rather than just blow through enemies the moment they show up on your screen. It occurred to me that X6 might have a similar thing going on, this being why it's appreciated by a number of us here on RPM. There's different kinds of difficulty, good and bad. Bad ones would be making it literally impossible to avoid taking damage, or just increasing enemy stats so you have to wail on them forever without really being different from early game enemies, and I feel that for the most part X6 avoids these. All in all, it's unforgiving, unlike previous mega games, but fair and satisfying. I believe Demon's Souls would also be relevant but I have yet to get around to playing any game in that series, so can't say for sure. |

Kinda hard to live up to the hype around 1999 for Castlevania. I mean, Julius was so powerful his item crash pwned the castle even when he was an old man.

Legend of Zelda: Clockwork Empire (fan idea) It seems to lean more towards RPG than adventure, with conversations (a more subtle villain like the suggested Ganondorf doesn’t work so well if he only monologues) and mutually exclusive choices… not bad, but can’t see it happening in a Zelda game. Generally I’d expect it to be rejected even if it was a Nintendo internal pitch simply because it changes so much at once. Maybe as a spin-off, though?

While this hit me right in the nostalgia and I'm kind of excited, I'm a little worried that they'll get it wrong somehow. Like maybe the distances aren't as crystal clear in 3D as they were in the old games, or that Scrooge's sprite eyes looking slightly upwards will bother me for more than a few seconds once I actually get to play...

Can't believe I somehow missed this thread all this time. Was this posted? I'd given up hope of ever hearing another good 8-bit X6 song, and then I stumbled upon this.  |

Pretty sure Sunset Riders got mentioned before but it bears mentioning twice. (Arcade version) |
