Yes, especially with the realtime switching of graphics. I wish they did that for audio too. Probably Startropics
You can switch the audio to retro.

Playing this game (which is fantastic combination of updated art and sound and classic gameplay) has made me really want this done for Faxanadu. It's a similar game and it would be so great to see that done in this style. Imagine remastered music from that game?Woudl you liek to see other classics underrgo the treatment graphics et c this has gone through?
If so which oneS?
So has anyone noticed HD rumble on switch version? It's pretty neat. Try jumping into lava with the sound off to really notice it. It feels like water splashing upwards. I assume it works in water too but haven't tried yet.
Not on the fly like graphicsYou can switch the audio to retro.

Thearea is killing me... I finally got through it after milking the shit out of a boomerang, only to get to a boss with no potions left and I couldn't land a single hit before dying. I got there insamurai castleform, but I've seen some people say that they played through that section asmouse. My first question is how/where do I getthe lion? And my second question is how the hell do I hurt the boss?the lion form
are we making spoiler posts for master system games?
haha wow
hey go ahead m8 sometimes the journey is more interesting as the endThis remake is introducing a lot of new players to Monster World, and they obviously don't want objective spoilers. It's not like we're spoiling an old movie. Context is key.

Why did I never realize the Sphinx room was made up of breakable blocks...
It's hard to notice if it's not in retro mode.
The new visuals don't obscure the secret of the sphinx treasure room at all, but you normally wouldn't think twice about it. It's a smart little thing.
I actually picked up a boxed Master System 1 last week to replace my Master System 2 (with the idea of finally playing Phantasy Star):
Do any SMS experts out there know exactly how old this would be? I thought the first-run systems came with those controllers with detachable sticks that screwed into the D-pad (but I could be wrong)? The boot screen says 1.3, which I believe is the first commercial BIOS?

Nice find!
How rare are Master Systems in fairly ok condition these days?
And also - do we have any indications of how the game is performing sales wise? Over expectation? Curious. Bock, can you shed any insight?
It's #3 on the NA eShop right now and has room to get to #2 imo (at this rate Snipperclips will never be dethroned here).
I've seen many reports of it being #1 in various European countries.
The creators will be doing an AMA on /r/NintendoSwitch in a couple days and I'm sure someone will ask about sales.
as someone who adores the SMS & dove in tonight: this makes me so happy <3
i really hope they clinch it, it's well deserved! also, is your avy from MV4? anyway, back to the game!

Haha, my avatar is actually from Fire Emblem Heroes.
Yes the art is amazing, like holy shitYeah it's like the prettiest 2D game I've ever seen! And it's definitely not a 7 hour game for me, I often just stop and look at the art instead of playing lol, it's sooo good. I love the look of the big grassy field area, the devs must be Amiga 500 Shadow of the Beast fans, it's very similar in style with the crazy parallax scrolling and mountains.
So much this. This is how you do a HD remake. Wish this much care was applied to that Street Fighter 2 HD Remix that is about to be resold to us as Ultra Street Fighter 2, those Udon sprites and background art are awful, and the redone music is just okay.god i'm so much in love with this music, my favorite of the game :

I had no idea what you meant so I looked it up and saw it was based on an anime series. I watched a bit on YT and saw that his gun was the SMS light phaser and I laughed.
I don't know if it's because I just got done listening to a podcast dedicated to it featuring the 8-4 guys, but I can't stop thinking about how awesome a Zelda II getting this same treatment (even similar art would be fine tbh) would be.
this game is the truth, i'm actually happy i didn't finish it on SMS just to do so here!
i adore the ability to not only flip graphics on the fly (a la Monkey Island HD) but FX/etc. god, talk about starting out with a masterpiece! i'm in for this dude's next game day 1.
i haven't seen this since like...a kid at christmas '86 (i was 7, it was for my older brother)
goddamn, this takes me back. well done man!
I'm finding this really interesting to play because I had a SMS as a kid and loved the original Wonder Boy, and I've owned the original Wonder Boy III for a long time but never really played it.
I've just turned into Piranha Man and I'm loving it so far. The new graphics and sound are incredible and really make the experience. The different forms are really fun, and the hub-based layout is relatively simple but much more interesting than if it were a linear, level-based thing.
