How Super Mario RPG CHANGED Mario Forever
The Super Mario RPG remake is finally out on the Nintendo Switch, so let's take a look at just what makes this game so important. Mario's first foray into RPG territory had a bigger impact than you may realize: it revolutionized turn-based battles by introducing action commands, spawned two new beloved Mario series, and brought the Mushroom Kingdom to life in a way that no game had done before. It would also establish many series conventions that are still around to this day, such as Bowser's lovable personality.
Between Nintendo's return to form with this game and the upcoming Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake, Mario's future is looking brighter than ever.

Metroid Dread is Metroid Done Right

Metroid Dread is the first brand new 2D Metroid in 20 years, and it has spent more than half of that time in development hell.

    I was scrolling thru games on my PS5 with my brother and the art caught my eye so we looked at it the featured pictures they had. It was only like 2 bucks- and with names like popocity I thought this game would be kinda silly but not much more. I downloaded it as a joke AND OH MY GOSH DID I MISJUDGE IT. This game is my favorite! You described it so well- the characters are funny and the whole game just has a soul. ❤️❤️❤️

    I love how the new bosses are looking! While watching, I thought of an idea u can implement to make the boss fight more dynamic, however idk if its with in scope. What if u implemented the dungeon elements into each room? Like conveyer belts and saws in the twins room, wind gusts in the jungle, and slippery floors on the ice or etc. Just a thought since it be nice to test and challenge the player using elements and pieces they have learned to get that far. Anyways, i hope things go well and happy coding!

    Mechanically, Ori's Bash is almost the same at it's core as the Ice Beam from Metroid, turning enemies into something that actually complements the core gameplay, a platforming challenge. But it's more refined. The Speedbooster belonged on this list, no ifs or buts. And certainly not the Super Missile, what a knucklehead pick. The speedbooster might be the most complementory game mechanic to a Metroidvania's core gameplay, with how it asks you to think of the map as a whole. The map you have been exploring back and forth and memorizing more and more of throughout the game.

    For me, the single-wall jump was iconic of the Mega Man X games. I'd even say that the single-wall jump (wall kick / wall climb), along with the emergency acceleration dash, was the feature that got me into Mega Man after years of the original Mega Mans seeming too rigid on movement options.

    I get the impression they are modeled after "wuppies", which at some point used to be popular in the Netherlands some 20 years ago when a big supermarket was giving them out for free during the soccer/football worldcup (it being a worldcup, it is more like 18 years ago). Wikipedia tells me that they are Weepuls in English

    I love bash abilities a lot, but I don't usually think of the Ori example. I'm talking about the "slam yourself into the enemies like a feral being and go take a power trip" kind. It just feels so satisfying to just crash into a horde of enemies and mow through them all like grass, simply because you're going fast. It's why I love Wario-likes as a genre, and also why I consider sharp shadow a must-have in my hollow knight loadout.

    Tried all of these, and finished none, since they are skill-based. I am a fan of Igavanias though, which are item-based, its nice. Thanks for the list though, taking notes. And the Ori Bash or what not, is Shanoas main movement ability in Order of Ecclesia, an Igavania.

    Kinda surprised Metroids Speed Booster/Shinespark didn't make it to the list especially it's iteration in Dread. Easily my top 1 ability and it's not even close. You feel unstoppable and powerful but at the same time it's balanced because you can't pull it off that easily but when you do you feel like a god. It's pretty versatile to use and overall just perfect with addictive sfx and animations.

    @ClefGamerFilosofo 9 месяцев назад

    I have to mention Haiku the Robot. In this game, you found a Space Disruptor. It gives you a teleport move, nothing new. But, what makes it stand out is that his only real limitation is range. In most of the games this power exists, some type of limitation is imposed (can only be used in certain spots, high cost, some type of object\wall are impervious to it, ...). In this game, this don't happen. No need for a specific target, no expense, nothing. Even the most solid wall can be ignored if its thickness is less than the teleport range. It's just deliciously broken.
