Omg I forgot about this  I think playing the first game in a variety of famous series would be cool, and hopefully prevent burnout

I completely forgot about this after a while but I still did the following things that should be noted personally by all of you: - Completed Extra Mode in Kirby's Dream Land in Kirby's Dream Collection -Completed 3D Classics: Kirby's Adventure 100% (Hero of Lore!!!!) on 3DS -Beat Kirby Super Star in Kirby's Dream Collection on Wii -Beat Kirby Triple Deluxe on 3DS So I guess I participated anyway. Poorly.

Grawl posted:Alright, a new year is coming and it seems people lost interest in Kirby -- myself included. My preference would go: Megaman > Dragon Quest > Castlevania > Different Series > * Alternative options: Zeldas? Tomb Raiders? And I'll be participating this year. Unfortunately I only found this thread in late October so I decided it was too late for me. Ernie. fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Dec 17, 2014 |

Ernie. posted:My preference would go: I hope it goes in favor of Mega Man. There's an eShop sale going right now and I just bought a bunch of MegaMan GB games and that would give me additional motivation to get good at them. edit: I started Nightmare in Dream Land and will probably finish it today or tomorrow, I will grab a picture when I do. edit2: Nightmare in Dream Land finished!

Looper posted:Omg I forgot about this This is exactly what I'm thinking. It'll prevent burnout and people will get to try something new when they feel the need. There seems to be a huge demand for Megaman, but people will probably finish a few and never look back. How about this for 2015 instead? It can be the retro year, whatever. So the first in these series: - Sonic (Genesis) - Megaman (NES) - Dragon Quest (NES) - Final Fantasy (NES) - Castlevania (NES) - Metroid (NES) There's always the option to expand if needed.

I'd be down for a Sonic marathon because I've played them all already and more people should share in my misery

Maybe throw Mario, Kirby, and Zelda in for newbies / those of us who missed the earlier marathons?

I would be down for a first-in-series sampler.

The problem with a first-in-the-series thing is that for some of those series the first entry is widely accepted to be one of the weaker entries. MM1, Metroid 1 and Sonic 1 are all solid titles by themselves but lack a lot of the refinements that make the sequels great. Personally, I feel like all a marathon like that would do is make me wish I was playing one of the sequels. A smorgasbord style marathon like that could be good but I don't think that'd be the best way to do it. My vote goes for a Mega Man marathon.

Maybe there could be some kind of compromise where you pick a franchise (I'd vote Mega Man) for a typical marathon thread and then in addition as a side thing there could be the "classics sampler" challenge or something where you pick a short list of firsts in other franchises and people could pick at that for variety if they start to feel burnt out on the main series.

Personally if we had to do a series wide thing, I'd go with the best of from each franchise. -Sonic The Hedgehog 2 -Megaman 2 -Super Metroid -Symphony of the night etc.

Megaman 2 is not the best mega man.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention I one hundred percented Kirby Superstar - All Treasures in Cave Offensive, All Powers in Milky Way Wishes, beat the True Arena. Unless those minigames count I guess. I also got all Sun Stones in Triple Deluxe, although you have to get most of them.

The Silver Snail posted:Megaman 2 is not the best mega man. For this reason as well. Let people "taste" the games. I don't think many played the very first games in the series a whole lot. Sure, I played Mario and Sonic when I was a kid, but I can't remember finishing it all the way anymore. 13/f/cali posted:I agree with this.

I'm fine with multiple marathons, but I'm not "hosting" both. Grawl fucked around with this message at 02:08 on Dec 20, 2014 |

How about this as a compromise. Label it as the franchise itself that way if someone say wants to play Megaman 2, and the other player wants to try Megaman 3, they're both legible to the table score under 'Megaman'. Pixeltendo fucked around with this message at 06:11 on Dec 20, 2014 |

I'd be down for Megamanathon, just sayin'. At least none of them feel like huge ordeals to beat, unlike a certain N64 Kirby game...

This is a pretty great typo! Alternatively, we can do a console marathon. I.E. Play all the Gamecube's RPGs or the SNES's platformers.
