Probably not. I don't use Discord and I don't do well in real time chatting environments; I need space to keep editing and deleting posts to feel comfortable. I could probably adjust eventually, but I likely won't even try.

I'm thinking of the AEW PPV, but I see no reason to count it differently than other uses of the term.

Either getting the platinum in FFX HD or clearing the Farewell chapter in Celeste; neither one is completely fair--I used a guide for parts of FFX & I did look up how long the final stretch in Celeste was because I was starting to break and had to know if I was even close to the finish. Still, they were big accomplishments for me.

1: Do Hot Girls Like Chords?
2: Real Nice Moment
3: Crash the Car
4: Knower Forever
5: Same Smile, Different Face
6: I'm the President
7: Ride That Dolphin
8: The Abyss
9: Nightmare
10: It's All Nothing Until It's Everything
11: It Will Get Real

This album's selection is rather conveniently timed for me. NFUN assumed I'd be into at least one song on this album and had to gamble on which one, so I felt I'd need to look over the entire album and rank them anyway. I can now confirm that he was right & I would say "Do Hot Girls Like Chords?" is my favorite on the album, though "Real Nice Moment" is close and I might prefer it some days.

It's All Nothing Until It's Everything: I kinda love the very beautiful outro in the last 30 or so seconds of the song, but I'm really not into the rest of it. Which is possibly intentional given the title (the song is nothing, until it isn't), but doesn't make me enjoy it as a whole.

Fall

Too many people talking about the new show for me to think of anything else.

28/330

I wasn't aiming for exactly 7 each day, but I suppose this is working for now.

X-Men VS Street Fighter


It took an expansion cartridge to run, but it was an improvement over the arcade & proved the Saturn was the definitive system for 2D. While the Playstation could only manage 1-on-1 fights (minus a gimmicky mode that required both teams to be identical so it still only had to load two characters) and still had to cut animation frames, the Saturn had the complete game & even had speed options to run the game in turbo mode. [Why in the world you'd want to make the game ludicrously fast is an unanswered question, but it is still impressive.]

Of course, not many people wanted 2D games at the time, but in terms of 2D power this game is a full console generation over the Playstation and completely embarrasses it.

Back to the Future
The Terminator
Groundhog Day
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure

I should try to think more objectively, but I don't know much about cinema & like these movies & they already have votee, so whatever.

The AI generated songs are great.

Wake
Chrom
Missile

14/330

Progress remains steady at 7 per day.

Nominate Konami Games

Had a dream which implied a Konami Rushmore caused a lot of drama, so now I want to see what happens. ...I know the answer is nothing and I'm not a prophet, I still want to nominate it anyway.

Do Yourself A Favor and If You Really Love Me. Never Dreamed You'd Leave in Summer

Never got around to a third listen for the nominated album, but I did check out those two songs. "Do Yourself A Favor" didn't really click with me, but "Never Dreamed..." was neat. Thank you again!

Missile
Papyrus

7/330 for the second pass. I'll be going back to the "aiming for 5 to 10 each day" goal for a while and will likely take a second break when VGMC noms start because trying to go through that infinite barrage of music will likely take all my time for a while. Thank you in advance for your patience.

I'd think Solaris is the clear winner:

I don't recall hearing about Solaris before, but yeah, I think you're right. That looks really good.

Were not doing old Atari systems, either.

In that case, let me say that the 2600 port of Double Dragon should win if you were to ever do such a topic:

A functional beat-em-up with an actual end boss is amazing for how limited the system is. Not worth making a topic for & it has the advantage of coming out 12 years after the system released, but it's quite impressive.

Gunstar Heroes

Impressive speed and number of enemies for the system. Honorable mention to Virtua Fighter Animation--probably the best cutscenes on the system & the fighters have a fair number of animation frames, so it's also a good pick.

Mount Rushmore

Are roguelites and roguelikes the same thing

Lites tend to be easier and have some form of permanent progress (gaining levels in Mystery Dungeons, unlocking things in Hades, etc); Likes are more brutal and you literally start the entire game over on death (Rogue itself, Nethack, etc).

...At least, that's what I've heard the difference is.

Super Mario World
Super Mario Kart
Street Fighter II
Chrono Trigger

FF7 is one of my mother's favorite games, pretty sure she could replay it. No guide would be difficult, but for the money, I'm sure she'd manage.

Dragon's Lair.

Looking into it further, it is a GBC exclusive so it shouldn't it have been eligible for last topic... but it fits here & I'm impressed enough about them getting an FMV game to run on the hardware that I'll support it.

Big

Took me a long time to think of a valid answer. The absolute first thought was "Bot Battle" due to yesterday's Battlebots, but that was just backwards and not really engaging with the prompt. Then "Kaiju Big Battel" which is intentionally spelled wrong and doesn't work. Then I kinda hit "big battle" by default.

Saturn had plenty of great games to work with:

NiGHTS
Burning Rangers
Panzer Dragoon Zwei
Sonic R

Honorable mentions to Panzer Dragoon Saga, Dragon Force, X-Men VS Street Fighter (RAM cartridge allowed the game to run better than the arcade version, compared to the abysmal PSX version that didn't have even have a regular tag mode), Shining Force III, Guardian Heroes, and Fighters Megamix. Enemy Zero is also... unique enough to be of interest, though likely a bad fit for this series.

Saturn technically is the version with more content considering it had Maria mode but i don't remember if that came out in the US. and eventually the PSP included it anyway so it can remain forgotten.

Saturn Maria & PSP Maria are different characters. PSP Maria's gameplay is more closely inspired by her Rondo of Blood appearance (including changing the collectable sub-weapons into the Holy Beasts and summoning birds for her normal attack); Saturn Maria kicks enemies & has the standard sub-weapons, but can cast spells for the Holy Beasts.

Final Fantasy 7
Metal Gear Solid
Resident Evil
Tekken 3

I've never been able to find what magazine it was, but I swear I remember one having some ULTIMATE GAMER TEST or something like that, with 100 true gamer tasks. The only one I recall is beating Tekken 3's arcade mode with every character. Not just "all true gamers have played Tekken 3", but the game is so completely foundational to gaming that everyone (in the distant past of whenever this crap was published) has obviously finished it with every single character.

...I've wanted to find that magazine to see what the other 99 tests were, but I have no clue what the magazine was. I do recall a follow-up issue had someone write in a suggestion for a 101st point for anyone who went back to complete any of the magazine's challenges, which was approved. This does not help in any way.

...Okay, I'm not voting Tekken 3 just because of a bad magazine article, but I never have an excuse to post that.

It's astounding this can run on a Game Boy at all. Dragon's Lair is also a really good option.

"If You Really Love Me" is easily my favorite, though I basically said as much. Nothing else immediately comes to mind, but looking at his biggest hits, I think "Part Time Lover" and "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" might be the next two favorites? I dunno; I've heard that the greatest hits so many times on the radio that they're all incredibly familiar, but I've never really gone out of my way to listen to them and they're all in this sort of "oh hey, I like that and haven't heard it in quite a while" category.

#38. Fresh Goes Better

I think IhatethisCPU nominated this at the first topic; I have you down as nominating it at the second... though it doesn't really matter and I still love this song.

I just listened to it, it definitely has a much more raw sound than Wonder's subsequent releases, but it has a few songs that stand out (namely Do Yourself A Favor and If You Really Love Me. Never Dreamed You'd Leave in Summer is pretty good too). I'd consider it a good album, but his next five albums are where Stevie Wonder becomes truly great.

Thank you. That's interesting; kinda disappointed it's so far down the list, but I'll make sure to listen to those other two tracks when I get a chance.

Bunker Hill

First valid answer I thought of and I've already forgotten what my earlier thoughts were.

Grand Theft Auto 3
Final Fantasy X
Metal Gear Solid 2
Devil May Cry

I prefer MGS3, but I feel compelled to vote 2 for some unknown reason.

Super Mario Bros
Super Mario Bros 3
The Legend of Zelda
Dragon Quest

I see the arguments for three, but I'm firmly in the "1 invented the entire genre" camp.

Support Sega CD Rushmore.
