What game is the best tribute to the 8-bit era?
>>
>>340238813
AVGN The video game was a bad meme on old bullshit hard games.
Abobo's big adventure was a good meme on old video games.
I wanna be the guy lives breaths and shits bullshit difficulty of old games but not anything else.
Shovel Knight is the only actual proper homage to old games.
>>
there's one game on that image that qualifies
>>
>>340238813
Shovel Knight

when are they going to release another DLC?
>>
>Abobos big adventure

Was that the game where he's going to save his son, and he just punches holes in video games to walk between them?
>>
Shovel Knight
It actually felt like an old game without forcing too much
>>
Shovel Knight

other three are literally meme

Mega Man 9.

>IWBTG had the hardest difficulty (inb4 >muh artificial difficulty)
Learn to get good.

>AVGN was the most self-aware (not really a good thing, but)

>Abobo was the most varied (but felt unpolished in places)

>Shovel Knight was the best overall game
>>
>>340238813
Shovel Knight.
IWBTG was entertaining, but still a bullshit trial-and-error ragequit game.
Abobo's Big Adventure is "Hey, remember the NES?" the game.
Haven't played the AVGN game.

I Wanna Be The Guy is just an absurd test of memorization. I appreciates the game's humor but I don't think it's actually enjoyable.

AVGN Adventure was decent, the jokes get old though.

Shovel Knight is the best actual full fledged game in that I could imagine it actually being made in the 80s.

Abobo is just hilarious and without a doubt the greatest thing created during the newgrounds era.

Abobo was a shitty game with a nonsensical nor funny plot line that just seems to pander to millennial humor. It was bugged as fuck and frankly, NES Remix did it WAY better.

AVGN Adventures wasn't really about the old games, but more about just being a tribute to AVGN. Which I felt succeeded massively in that factor, and had some pretty decent gameplay to boot.

I wanna be the guy is an action puzzler that had references to old games, but little else to do with the subject.

The obvious winner is Shovel Knight.

>I want to be the guy

>Shovel knight

It was literally trial and error.
Nothing about that is what old school video games were about.
