[3:08 PM] Doctacosa|Work: Plot twist - the guy that made AM2R is now working as a level designer on the next Ori!

I sometimes wonder what kind of games would be good to "campaignfy" like that, like how Gran Turismo does for racing games.
Originally, I got its name from some friends who played the game. Either they were messing with me or I had misheard them, but I took its name to be "Beavinson Butthead". (Turned out they were likely referring to the cartoon called "Beavis and Butthead".)
Turns out its official English name is Robo-Corpse.
Its original Japanese name? "Grand Prix Robot Big Fuzz", according to http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/DubNameChange/ForeignToEnglish .
Have you played Contra III? Great game, tough as nails
I have and nowhere near well enough to beat it.
Oh, also, the name is apparently just "Big Fuzz".
In case anyone didn't know who Big Fuzz is:
this is Big Fuzz.
I get the Big part but not the Fuzz part.
Once you've seen that, enjoy this fanart: https://modusprodukt.deviantart.com/art/Contra-3-HD-111188032
Good times.
I can't even beat it on Easy. I suck ha ha ha
* "better" music -- i.e. music that sounds smoother rather than sounding really "empty" or creepy or otherwise more evocative
* the final boss of M2 is way harder. I have just tried several times to go through the final gauntlet and failed each time. AM2R's final boss was a cakewalk compared to this.
I don't get the final boss of M2 being harder, though. There's only one phase. Bring plenty of missiles and there you go.
I kept on bringing plenty of missiles and it still creamed me!
That said, it still does take like 140 missiles to kill her, if you don't use bombs.
Finally, a Fate-themed Meguca.
I once complained that Steam had no Final Fantasy, no Mega Man, and no Castlevania.
Now it has all three (the last one on a bit of a technicality, albeit), plus Tales, Ys, Legend of Heroes, Atelier, and soon...Secret of Mana.
I'm not actually a huge fan of Secret of Mana (though it is a decent game, just sorta boringly grindy if you're playing it single-player), but honestly I never expected it to get an English PC version, just a few years ago.
What's next? Tactics Ogre? Langrisser? TearRing Saga? Shining? Summon Night?
I agree it's not as much fun with only one player, though.
But yeah it's a lot more fun with a friend.
(I generally prefer to master positioning and movement over movesets.)
