The Legend of Zelda (NES) - Living the life of luxury! added to NES Switch Online game
- Thread starter Serebii
- Start date
I think they are referring to the normal second quest in the original version of the game.
I never beat this back in the day when NES was still a going concern because a) I was too young and b) it took me a long time, pre internet and without buying magazines or phoning help lines to know what to do. Having the magic shield and the blue ring be the first things you go after makes the game so much easier once you know to do that as soon as possible. It's ruthless otherwise, as lots of games were back then, because they needed to give you hours out of kilobytes.
I kind of understand and like the approach to be honest. People more in tune with today's difficulty standards will be far more likely to progress with a good start. And the original is still there, so best of both!

If you essentially releasing rom hacks, hurry up with a Randomiser one for a game. A Nintendo Made Randomiser would be interesting.
Wonder why they aren't making a bigger deal out of this, this interests me more than just the regular game.
What were the other games listed as "SP" on the Nintendo website?
Wonder how many of them they are planning to release, and if they will all be easy modes or something different.

Dr. Mario (SP)
Metroid (SP)
Super Mario Bros. (SP)
Super Mario Bros. 3 (SP)
Double Dragon (SP)
Gradius (SP)
Wonder what Gradius is getting, it's been my most played NES Online game so far.
This is interesting, and promising for the future of the service. If they can make the NES catalogue a mix of emulated classics and throw in a good dose of NES Remix-esque alt versions like this they could have something really interesting.
Remix got me returning to NES games I'd never clicked with after I had played the bitesize remixed versions, and if Nintendo can expand the SP versions to include that kind of ROM hacking playfulness it would be a valuable addition to their offering.
Now, just up the pace of releases and add more systems!

That's cute. My usual route involves collecting everything I can before even attempting Level 1, so this is basically useless for me, but it does take out a solid 30-40 minutes of finding random rupee and heart container locations, items to buy from the cheapest shops and exploring over 50% of the world before even starting the game for real.
Metroid with an auto-map please!
Edit: And full health after a death.
ROMs with built in Game Genie.
Paying for cheats, even in old games.
I imagine a Contra version would just come with the Konami code activated from the jump.

Thanks a bunch! Not surprised at this selection, it's all big, popular games.
Huh. Not interested in a mode like this for Zelda myself but plenty of NES games could use it.
I look forward to finally be able to beating Gradius. Even with save states, some of the latter stages are hell.

Most interesting of these is going to be Dr Mario. The others lend themselves to "start with lots of stuff" and other cheats pretty easily. Dr Mario doesn't really.
This is a great way to play older games that aren't as accesible for today's standards.
Plus, the original versions are still there for those who want to have the original experience.

My mistake, I was under some weird impression that these were adjacent to the regular lineup for some odd ass reason,
So, not so much paying for Game Genie codes per game, but I still expect a Konami Code laden Contra SP.
Please make the SP version of Metroid having a longer range shoot.
Vanilla LOZ is already on the service right?
This doesn't count as one of this month's NESflix games right?
