Dear Ghost Warrior Guy,

Bet you can’t kiss us all. We are out there waiting for surprise smooches.

No one is competent to speak fluent Warner, it’s not a language fit for the human brain

how the kill the past games are barely thought of as having “game design” and how far from true that is, and how killer7 feels like a perfect collision of goichi suda’s game design and shinji mikami’s.

and how grasshopper seemingly abandoned that style from no more heroes on, losing what made them cool formally in the process to create a bunch of action games in the 2010s that are “stylish” but to no particular consequence.

Well! I was starting to think I was the world’s only person who liked the game, but I just found perhaps the world’s only other huge fan of Wonder Boy in Monster Land, and it’s (of course!) Bennett Foddy

One thing it’s making me reconsider is my idea of making an indie game inspired by Wonder Boy in Monster Land. Of all my shower ideas it’s the only one that hasn’t been done to death in the years since I first had it. (The new wonder boy remake series is spiritually totally unrelated.)

But I’ve been discouraged from touching it from the fact that I’m the only one who likes the game, and I’ve never been able to convince anyone to give it a chance. In that case, it seemed logical I wouldn’t find any audience for a new version either.

But Bennett’s taste has the Midas touch with respect to taking something almost nobody likes and making it into a popular game that startles everyone with its freshness. So if he likes it too, maybe there is something to the idea. Maybe all it really needs is a style switch away from generic knights-and-dragons fantasy.

I fucking love Wonder Boy in Monster Land, I was trying to 1CC it a few years back in Switch, I actually love that bug (?) that gives you more gold if you wiggle the stick. I mean maybe I wouldn’t love actually doing that input all the time but being able to map it to a button rocks, game rocks, reviving the weird arcade action RPG would be so fucking bad ass

i knew a guy in high school who had a little case strapped to his bike that carried a psp and a bunch of umd movies
 that idea has really stuck with me through the years

also of all things oldboy came up in conversation a few weeks ago and @zombieman000 was like “oh i haven’t seen that but i do have it on umd” and that was about the funniest thing i ever heard
