Then there's a handful of standalones that don't really fit into the other categories that are still fun little reinterpretations of things (shoutouts to the GBC one having like an overworld map and characters and stuff lol)

@billyD3 @LimitedRunGames Also, one final thing lol. While you're collecting, you might be interested in RoboWarrior (Bomber King in Japan), which predates Blaster Master by a year, but from which BM borrowed gameplay, enemies, bosses, & even its sequel lol (Blaster Master Boy is Bomber King 2 in Japan)

We've come a long way since May 2015. Hard to believe #Bloodstained from @SwordOrWhip now has 3 wonderful games out, some amazing crossover, and more to come I'm sure!

Was talking with @altermentality about 2nd outings in long running series that were wildly different from the 1st and how they deserve recognition and love. Games mentioned were SMB2, Castlevania 2, and Zelda 2, but I'm sure there's many more! Help me give some shoutouts :3

I find it really interesting that the Umihara Kawase prototypes were basically Dig Dug 1 & 2 reskins, using the same enemies and eventually being inspired by the pump hose grapple mechanic

@altermentality has no one said champion mom yet?

these two need to cross over. she's built her entire adventuring career around going after fish with legs, the mashup practically writes itself lol

@altermentality in 2010 they put out a remake of Lufia 2, now a kingdom hearts style real time action RPG with reimagined younger more anime versions of the characters. While I was excited and of course got it I can't really say I prefer it over the original

@altermentality And that was that. The team didn't work on anything Lufia related for a good half decade, instead focusing on new Harvest Moon spinoff Rune Factory, which they still make games for to this day (they're super fun!)
