      I don't even think it's 80's hard since it's so balanced, with so much telegraphing of boss movements and patterns, and with really responsive controls and evasion maneuvers. Mike is really overselling it's difficulty.

    You teased us with the Alice Cooper story. Apparently when they met Elvis Randomly wanted to show Cooper how to disarm someone and Cooper got the pistol and pointed it at the King with thoughts of just harming him, I guess Cooper thought he could really get his name out there if he shot Elvis but before he could act Elvis took him to the ground and wrestled the gun out of his hand.

    Walt Disney had health problems throughout his life that became a hindrance to his career. He loved horseback riding and played pole. During a polo match, Walt was hit by a polo ball and knocked out of his saddle. Consequently, he shattered four vertebrae, which lead to excruciating pain. After this accident, he sold his horses and never played another game of polo for as long as he lived. Walt chose to go to a chiropractor rather than a doctor for his injuries, but the chiropractor could not heal his back. These factors led to his death.

      Walt Disney was struggling with health related issues throughout his whole life, so much so that it became a hindrance to his career. He held a passion for horseback riding and the game of polo, a passion that was shattered almost as soon as four of his vertebrae did when he got knocked out of his saddle by a stray ball. Walt took his injuries to the chiropractor, who could not help him. It was these injuries that led to the death of Disney's magical front runner.

    This game didn't only survive being in development for so long, but it was made by two brothers! A fantastic game all around.

    Well you're probably in luck... you know, it's sold really well, so expect 7 metric fucktonnes of clones to flood steam next year.

      Everything is hand drawn and definitely a lot of creativity went into it which cannot be easily achieved

      Seeing how much of an influence Disney animation was on this game, I would like it if Disney themselves made a Mickey Mouse platformer with these kind of graphics. (either a brand new one or a remake of Mickey Mania)
      ...then again, considering their attitude towards hand-drawn animation as of late, I probably shouldn't hold my breath. 😞

    • @CesarDaSalad
      @CesarDaSalad 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      That would be great, this animation style is amazing and I wouldn't complain about having more games like this one to play. Clone away devs!

      Ride The Lightning Skullgirls is such a great game, I even like how they let you choose how many characters you want. I wonder why MVCI didn't do that, it would have been cool to have that option. :)

    • @Acm240

      No, it wouldn't work. AVGN is suppose to play games from the past, not the future.

    • @Acm240
      @Acm240 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      But the graphics are way to advanced. If the game at least was 8-bit and was made in the 80's, it would work.

      @joshsamuelson1793 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      It all depends. If it's just infuriating difficulty to the point where I don't even want to try anymore it's a bad thing. I have a stack of games I have banished to purgatory due to such things.

    • @Comkill117
      @Comkill117 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Being Hard because the game is designed in a way to be hard but fair, hard because of BS (like say dr jeckal and mr. Hyde) it no good.

    • @Warrax22

    • @hi-i-am-atan
      @hi-i-am-atan 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +francisjairam I mean to be fair, Cuphead has a lot of appeal to it besides its difficulty that you can't find anywhere else, yet because of its difficulty only a portion of the audience for that appeal can actually play it. It'd be one thing if it was a really hard game that was really generic outside of its difficulty, but it doesn't seem misplaced at all to have a Beginner mode for people who want to experience the game without having to try hundreds of times because they're just not good as Contra-like games.

    The way Alice Cooper tells that story, he didn't get any farther than the thought of shooting Elvis entering his mind before he found himself on the floor with the King's foot on his neck. That was entertaining a house guest, Presley style.

    Same with the animation thing Mike, when I was a kid animation was a fucking passion for me but by the time I got out of public school (2006) CGI had become the norm and I have dyscalculia so there was no way I was ever going to live up to the math demands

    In regards to games that are too easy to enjoy, the obvious one for me which is a very popular game is Kirby's Adventure (and presumably the other Kirby games if I played them). Its an incredibly well made game, but I find it a chore to play rather than fun, because so little thought is needed.

    • @FlumpyTripod
      @FlumpyTripod 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Completely agree. I've never understood why Kirby is so popular. Its just so easy its not fun.

      I enjoyed Lost Levels more than SMB because of the difficulty. I think it is just one of those differences in why people play games. There need to be hard games for gamers like myself and easier games for people that want a more relaxed experience. Currently I think there are plenty of games for both types.

    I'm with Mike, i don't think the game is excesively hard, and i agree that the game should have an easy difficulty so more people can appreciate the artwork. Maybe you just get a bad ending by doing it in easy or something. Great seeing these guys playing the game

    There is something about old cartoons that for some reason makes them come of as evil.
    I have talked to other people about this. I can't really put my finger on what it is but basically every classical cartoon from the 30s has some sort of evil inside it.
