      Yep dragon quest + is better than the lame switch remake that didn't even animate the monsters (let alone ff pixel remasters overhauled the ff games with boost, which improved ff2 vastly for ultima with double shield attacks and ff1 non white mage/fighter parties). At least with Mario, Nintendo does a good job in general, even if I'm a bit disappointed with odyssey (unsuitable power moon celebrations get repetitive let alone locked to worlds) and super mario rpg (too easy and then difficulty spike with special enemies I made a vid of).
      Then of course today with people using high resource games and have no idea why the switch version has performance problems lol. Vid shows these guys respected their systems' limitations, which some do today fortunately.

    • @fuzzywzhe
      @fuzzywzhe Před 2 měsíci +2

      Lot easier to write these games today with modern tools. The constraints back then was limited memory, and limited sprites, as well as compute speed. What would take weeks or months to slog through in 1980 takes a day today. Artwork is what slows people down mostly, but you can rip that off at will if you're just duplicating or augmenting and earlier game.

    Are these “clones” in the traditional sense? Clones are typically ripoffs that have been changed a little to try to escape copyright. Eg Great Giana Sisters for Amiga. These mostly aren’t clones they’re homebrews.

    About Super Mario Crossover, it used to have more playable characters than shown here, like I think, the avatars of the Super Famicom Satellaview (Or however you spell it) for example, but I think they got axed. Now we have less characters to play as, for some reason. I could easily though just be spouting from false memories I have, as I make them sometimes, on accident

    The Atari 2600 may have lacked graphical resolution, and number of sprites, but it did not lack in pallet. It could display so many vivid colors on screen. Though with it's limited ram and resolution, you didn't get to see it's full pallet on screen much. The 2600 is a very colorful system.

    actually, only first game is super mario clone, because only this game dont have word "mario" in title and other "clones" in this video is more like fan-games or hacks for "super mario bros", not clones

    literally none of these are clones, they are all fan games. A smb clone would be something like The Great Gianna Sisters
