Kirby's Adventure on NES. I've never played this game before but grew up playing Kirby's Dreamland on GB and probably beat that a couple dozen times. I love the graphics and how much it looks like the GB game with color. I've found the controls to not be as responsive though. Kirby just doesn't seem as nimble and jumping and using a weapon at the top of a jump can be tricky. I'm not really a fan of the weapons, I always mess up with the controls and end up getting hurt so I prefer not to use them.

the GBA remake, Kirby's Nightmare In Dreamland is really responsive. Though if you don't like the weapons, you don't like the weapons.

The weapons themselves are cool but the odd controls make me get hurt more often than when I don't use them. I'll have to check out the GBA version, I had no idea that was a remake.

The sword weapon is really responsive and easy to use, I nearly always go for that.

I'm playing the Lion King and Another World, both on MD.

I'm really getting into 2D platformers now, always hated them as a kid mainly because I was useless at them.

Ghouls N' Ghosts on my new Sega Genesis & Hagane on my SNES. Both games are hard as hell. Argh!

Demon's Crest on snes. Never played this before so it was a pleasant surprise.

Circle of the moon on GBA(player)... still. About 50% of the way through but other stuff keeps grabbing my attention.


That kirby remake just got added to my wishlist.
