Cirta

What's heavier: a kilogram of garlic or a kilogram of crepes?

Decided to retry Wario Land 3 and this time I didn't get lost this time (I have no idea how I used to get lost, this game is really easy). I can totally get why people love this game, I'm having a lot of fun with it... until the emulator crashed and didn't save anything. So I changed emulator. I'm using mGBA on N2DSXL if you are curious, I prefer playing GB games on it, playing handheld games on a big screen doesn't feel right to me.

Man, I was able to make GameMaker work on Linux before going on vacation but I doesn't want to work anymore and I don't have any WIndows partition on me, that may delay WarioWare: Computed!. At least, this gives me an excuse to focus on learning Godot. Gonna try to make the Greed Framework on that instead to learn it.

I've been wanting to change my username for a bit now so I did it now. I'll be Cirta now. You may still call me Nackles if you, it doesn't really matter. I'll add a Z at the end if the name is already taken much like I added a K to Nackles when the name was already taken.

Also new banner:

Whoever was in charge of the sound design for Wario Land 4 and WarioWare 1 desereve a golden statue at their image. Those voice clips files come in freaking puzzles!

Perhaps Mario & Wario has a chance

I got sidetracked while developing my game to make this crap in MSPaint and I don't regret it!

The next Wario Land game should be called Wario Land: Need for Greed.

Oh! (Happy Birthday)² to @tahutoa and @Dark 9-Volt

Oh I just remembered that one day I started recoloring WL1 sprites for no real reason a while ago. I was gonna try and make some sort of Wario Land Engine to learn Godot but I dropped it. Didn't finish recoloring it as you can see... Feel free to use them I guess...




These were took from Spriters Resource as you can tell. The credits for the ripped sprites are already on the picture.

It's been a year since I signed up here. Really enjoyed this site despite the emptiness. This is also the site that introduced to forums so I'm glad I was able to come by!

I got a mic today as I want to try making videos on YT. Problem? I now realize that I hate my voice lol. I heard that's a common thing when you start out wow.... I'm gonna have to get used to it.

Ngl, I'm starting to feel less passionate abouy my fangame, I kinda wanna move on to something else. The thing I spent quite the bit of time on it and I'm relatively close to finishing the demo, so I don't wanna let all that effort go down the drain. I'll probably release a demo and move on to an other game, whether it'd be original or an other fangame.

I made my first level on Mega Man Maker:


Very cool fan game, here's link to play it if you want to give it a try : https://megamanmaker.com/?level=582032

I bought a New 2DS XL yesterday:

It's so much better than my Old regular sized 3DS. I could barely play with it without getting fed up by how much it hurt my hands. And don't get me started on the size of screen when you emulated SNES games.

Of course, this is gonna be the occasion for me to revisit Wario Land 4. I use open_agb_firm. It's awesome! Essentially turns your 3DS into a GBA.

Something something old pfp, something something new pfp

So I randomly got recommended that one Japanese Mario OVA and decided to scroll upon it, I remember watching it once as kid a long time ago.


But I found something weird about it. See that dog that looks like a caterpillar:




Well it turns at the end, he's a Prince from the neighbor Flower Kingdom which got me wondered: Was this referenced in Mario Bros. Wonder? Because not only does is he also the Prince of Flower Kingdom, not only is the kingdom said to be close to the Mushroom Kingdom much like in Wonder but he also looks like Prince Florian. This either a really deep cut or this is just a massive coincidence.

Who the hell gaslit everyone into saying the GameCube Controller is the best controller ever made? You can't comfortably press 2 face buttons at the same time plus its D-Pad in miniscule.

I live around Paris and I am not ready for the chaos that's about to ensue this evening in the streets.

@Glowsquid, you've asked to me to share my thoughts about Mega Man 6 once I get to it and I just beat it so here I am.

I totally see how it could be your favorite to be honest, the level design is really good in this game, it has a satisfying balance of difficulty, especially in the castles stages. Actually, it's the only castle stages in the series I really like so far. The levels look amazing for the NES, which is not surprising since this their sixth game on the hardware but still. The music as just as good as the other games, which is great. Not my favorite soundtrack in the franchise (that would go to MM2 or 3) but still very good. The thing I like the most about the game is how they decided to handle Rush. Making it so fusions with Mega Man is a lot better then just using him as item. The level design does a lot of cool things with that, I love the alternate paths they provide.

There are only 2 things I dislike about the game. Something that is kinda minor is the Robot Master design, I'm not the biggest fan of them. I like Tomahawk Man and maybe one or two others but the rest is kinda weird to me compared to the other games. Especially, Centaur Man, I just think he looks weird, not a fan of chimeras in general. That's kinda picky of me, I know but the RMs are like on of the most iconic part of a Mega Man game for me... Guess they put all the cool designs in X1.

The second one is the slide glitch, it's really noticeable at first, especially right after playing MM5. You get used to it but it does hinder my experience a bit. I think there's a patch for it but I wanted to play the original version first. Next time, I'll just use the patch. I wonder how that slipped through game testing. Was this game rushed too? Does it have anything to do with X1 releasing the same year?

Anyways, I don't know if it's my favorite classic Mega Man game for now but it's the definitely one of the better ones. I think it's better than 5 and though it may be considered objectively than 2 or 3. I'd see myself replay them more. I like more than 4 and 1 though. I'll be glad to hear your thoughts (or anyone else having playing this game) about it. I'm not too familiar with the Mega Man community and the common consensus for this game (or any other except for maybe vaguely the first three).
