Any Mega Man fans? or fans of more obscure things like mother 3, cave story, or yume nikki?

[SAMICOM]

i'm gonna elaborate beyond "yume nikki mentioned" lol. i first played yn all the way through when i was like, 12 (crazy to think i've been a yume nikki enjoyer for literally half my life now) and having baby's first mental health episode and it was pretty much what got me through 7th grade. i was very scared of being chased so i went out of my way to avoid angering the toriningen/avoid areas where i knew they were already angered, and i definitely needed walkthroughs/wikisurfing to finish the game in part because i was scared of getting chased i think i'm generally a little braver in video games now, and i'm long overdue for a yume nikki replay, so i've gotta play again sometime. it's definitely a game that benefits from taking it slow and exploring rather than rushing to the end, and i've always liked that it relies more on atmosphere than jumpscares for its horror

i was also really into the fangames, but i couldn't get a good chunk of them to work back in 2012-13 lol. .flow worked, and it was one of my favorites (i've gotta replay .flow too sometime...), and some western ones like the looking glass worked because i didn't have to work around them being made for japanese systems, but i never managed to play a lot of the well-known japanese fangames like 2kki. i'll try again one of these days

that's literally me... i found the game in 7th as well and obsessed over it.

Some memories i have of the game are:

running like hell in the guillotine world
chilling with masada
watching gobou
recoiling at the jumpscare when the Aztec Rave Monkey appeared
(then vibed to the tunes)
screamed when i saw uboa
found FACE
oyasumi'd

what a great game...

Is Cave Story considered obscure? That game was everywhere when it came out. That was the indie game before the XBLA indie boom began.

Or am I just old?

AHA! About 5 or so years ago, my friend mentioned a game she thought I would like, but never got to playing it. She moved RIGHT WHEN I ACTUALLY WANTED TO PLAY IT but forgot the name of it. YUME NIKKI WAS THE GAME SHE MENTIONED. MY WHOLE LIFE HAS BEEN CHANGED BECAUSE OF YOU! THANK YOU! I will definitely play it now that I remember what it was

got a love/hate relationship with megaman games. haha they're cool but too haaard. only managed to finish megaman x and 3. I was getting close on megaman zero though..

Should mention here actually - if ANYONE wants to try a Mega Man game out, Nintendo Switch online currently has a bunch of GameBoy Mega Man games on it. The fifth one is super good, I hear the fourth one's great as well but there was a lot of slowdown the one time I played it. They're a bit slower than the main series but since I'd imagine most of you have NSO already to play Splatoon I'd suggest giving it a try.

@DzNutsKong oh, that's a good tip. thanks! I was thinking of playing zelda, links awakening but I already have that on gameboy cartdridge
