    Hell yeah dude! Pretty insane how well this kinda anticipated the look and feel of Link to the Past! Wait, what secret message was that at 4:58?

      😂I can’t believe you noticed that. Someone rode by with a really loud car and I just muted the audio for a few seconds. I can’t remember what I said, but I’m sure it wasn’t important. This game is great, check it out any way you can!

    Zelda is not a bad game at all to clone, just as long as it’s done right. This one looks pretty fun, I am just surprised Nintendo let them get away with that 😂. Great video man!

    This game should have been titled “The Legend of Aurora” or Aurora: The Adventures of Jazeta”. Looks like a fun game especially for a Zelda clone.

    Awesome, this is a great (is rip off too strong of a term?) game! I love BigOleWords as well, great channel! IMO he's got the best NES content going now. I was actually going to do something like a "forgotten five" video with Zelda "like" games on Sega, but I think I would rather do some playthroughs instead.
    Great job, I love that you are representing the TurboGrafx! Thanks for this one.

    Best Zelda clone? IMO that would be Crusader of Centy on the Sega Genesis. Or at least it’s right up there with its fantastic visuals and music. Give it a go, it’s quite good

    • @oldschoolgamesstories
      @oldschoolgamesstories  2 года назад

      I believe this one might be a closer clone to Zelda, but I agree that Crusader Of Centy is a better game. I love that game! I only have a repro of it though. Can’t afford the real thing anymore😆 Thanks for watching!👊

    • @lovemadeinjapan

      We have to put things right on the time line. CoC is made 3 years AFTER LttP. This is made in between NES Zelda and LttP. So yes CoC is a Zelda LttP clone, 3 years in the making, where Neutopia II set the bar for Nintendo LttP. It came to the show 2 months prior and really challenged Nintendo to give everything with LttP. On some areas it is unbeaten, especially music. The LttP score is obnoxious and annoying as heck, where the Neutopia II OST is chiptune heaven. Also Hudson defined how to implement bossfights for the genre. Original NES Zelda is very bad in this aspect.

    Calling it a clone does it a disservice. Just because it takes a few elements from Zelda doesn't mean it's a clone. It really runs with the ideas it copied from Zelda. It used Zelda as a starting point, then improved on it.

    • @jackson5116
      @jackson5116 Год назад +1

      for instance insted of a ring to wear to lower damage, you wear a tunic, something that Zelda wouldn't get until Link to the Past.

    • @oldschoolgamesstories
      @oldschoolgamesstories  Год назад

      I disagree. Comparing it to Zelda is not a disservice, it’s a compliment, and the only way most people are ever going to know about it. Anyone who likes Zelda will certainly want to play Neutopia and its sequel. I’m a huge fan of both. Thanks for watching!👊

    Neutopia and Neutopia II is the Zelda II and III the NES never got (I don't count NES Zelda II as a successor to Legend of Zelda).
    Legend of Zelda has its merits on a conceptual level, but the games was too early, Nintendo didn't know shit how to program the NES back in those days yet. It looks ugly, music is limited. Hudson fine tuned the concept to pieces of art, and IMO Neutopia II is on the sweet spot. Graphics, playability and Music has been perfected. LttP goes overboard. The world gets too big, game too long and too vague, and the music is just a proof that the SNES music chip was a pain in the ass to work with.
    So sad Nintendo never tried a follow up on the NES, as imo it is the superior machine to the SNES. Late NES games are all excellent and often surpassing the same game on the SNES. Duck Tales, Isolated Warrior, Felix the Cat, Kirby's Adventure, all examples of how good the NES 2.0 was.
    Guess they just tried to get everybody hop over to the SNES by not releasing LttP on the NES, but I think it could have been even better on the NES if they wanted.
    Neutopia II is the closest we can get to a Zelda game perfected for tiled sprite worlds with chiptune music.

    I'm on the 6th medallion playing through the first game myself. It's interesting. It never really reaches the heights of Zelda. The colors are a bit drab and there's not as much deep gameplay with weapon and item variety, but what's there is very comfy and charming. If Zelda is an A+ I'd nay Neutopia is a B+.
