Degenerate Gemedev Mario is quite the unique protagonist.

The Mode 7 levels in Contra 3 were a really cool idea, and they looked awesome at the time, but they could have been implemented a LOT better.

Ben talks about the "just out of reach of double jump" chests and platforms in Bloodstained, and a lot of those are accessible immediately by using the divekick to bounce off of lanterns or flying enemies. Those chests tend to have pretty choice gear, too, if you get them in the moment instead of coming back when you have more mobility powers.

Also, I'm really happy to hear so many people expressing a soft hype for more ActRaiser.

Castlevania: Jazz Solo of Broken Bones

@mightyduck: You can get digital ports of SotN for cheap on a bunch of different platforms, but I'd suggest looking into Aria of Sorrow, if you can. That's when this style of Castlevania really hit its stride, and is a bit more indicative of the gameplay you'll be getting with Bloodtsained: RotN.

@dedbeet: Or, better yet, VinnyStainia.

I rather like the backer portraits, myself. I think they're cheesy in just the right way.

Somebody found out that the lines of code in Master Chief's helmet UI on start-up were XBL store codes. A bunch of people got Game Pass Ultimate months from entering them.

I loved the whimpering Vinny let out when he realized that he'd picked a bad time to land on the Interloper.

@cikame: Your enjoyment is influenced by your expectations. A lot of people end up disliking perfectly good things because they went in expecting them to be something else.
