Is this the best looking NES game of all time? I don't think anything else comes close to it visually, it looks more impressive that some 16-bit titles

Moon Crystal looks better, but Mr. Gimmick has the best physics of any NES game for sure.

Batman. Also by Sunsoft.

Seconding Batman. Any NES game could do flat colors like Gimmick had. It didn't even try to pull off Batman's level of detail & shading.
>>
>>3204946
Super Mario Bros. doesn't have any slope-based momentum.

Kirby's Adventure looks the best
Followed by Little Samson
Then Gimmick
>>
>>3204946

No it does not.

I'd argue that Mega Man 6 belongs up on the list of best looking NES games.

Kirby's Adventure is objectively the best looking NES game.
>>
>>3204954
Kirby's Adventure does. I'd argue it has better physics and movement than Gimmick.
>>
>>3205223
Kirby has no fast travel (unless you get UFO). Gimmick you can fast travel with good star throws. Gimmick wins.
>>
>>3205231
Tornado, fireball and wheel all go really fast. Hi-jump has faster horizontal speed than dash.

You can also dash down slopes to gain speed and then maintain that momentum by jumping off the hill and making consecutive jumps. You can slide kick off ledges to gain more speed than dash and maintain that momentum with consecutive jumps as well.

You can slidekick off a ledge, activate ball power, hold A, and as long as you don't hit a wall, you'll continue to bounce at the initial ledge slide speed, which is also faster than dash.
>>
Recca definitely deserves a spot near the top. Pushed the famicom to its limits for sure.
>>
Going to have to be another Kirby's adventure sayer, it looks beautiful. Probably not a popular opinion but I preffer it to nightmare in dreamland, still I have nostalgia for adventure so that probably is why.
>>
>>3205237
That's not even mentioning the ball power, you can go sanic speeds if you know how to use it.

No Battletoads mentions?

/v/ did a tournament thing where they voted on the best Kirby game, Kirby's Adventure narrowly beat Nightmare in Dream Land.

Super Star won with Kirby 64 in second, predictably

>I preffer it to nightmare in dreamland, still I have nostalgia for adventure so that probably is why.
It's not nostalgia. Adventure is a better game. Movement is faster and more fun, momentum is actually a thing, powers feel better to use (especially the movement powers) the art style is more aesthetically pleasing.

I didn't like how slow you moved in KNiDL, I didn't like how the levels were so cramped and claustrophobic compared to Adventure. Seriously, they like doubled the size of Kirby and Enemy sprites and made each level half the size. The only advantage KNiDL has over Adventure is that it doesn't have the framerate lag the original had, and technically it has more advanced graphics.

Full retard. Everyone knows Super Star and Air Ride are the best.

Vice project doom
Megaman 5
Megaman 6
Gargoyles Quest II
Kickmaster
Isolated Warrior
RECCA
ZEN intergalactic ninja

Shadow of the ninja
Ninja gaiden II
Ninja gaiden III
Sword Máster

And those are the ones at the top of my head.

Tecmo súper bien (the cutscenes)

moon crystal has great animation but the game itself is very bland looking

Air Ride isn't better than Kirby 64.
>>
>>3205327
64 is slow and boring. If you're going to play a sidescroller Kirby, why play anything else besides Super Star?

Autism confirmed.
>>
>>3205362
So you only play video games socially, because only people with autism play games without multiplayer?

You should try out the mini games in Kirby 64 then, they're really addictive.
>>
>>3205367
They were a joke, and you're grasping at straws if you think they were anywhere near as fun as Air Ride multiplayer.

A sidescroller Kirby should have co-op. DL3 has it, Super Star has it, but 64 failed to deliver.
>>
>>3205371
Nah, Adventure is the best Kirby game.

Air Ride was my first Kirby game.
You're going to break your legs jumping to conclusions anon.

I've only played nightmare in dreamland once, were the physics that fucked up? I really don't remember that, been a long time since I've played it. Kinda interested in trying it now, short enough game to beat in an afternoon.

Please stop this, basically every kirby is high quality. Even at its worst kirby is just a biy above average.
>>
>>3205410
I never said any Kirby game wasn't good. Adventure, Super Star, 64, Air Ride, and Dream Land 3 are my personal favorites, for the record.
>>
>>3205480
I just meant we don't need this petty debate, really comes down to personal opinion.

>>3205487
Well yeah.

>>3205298

The NES is way better at dark games due to the limited color palette. Bright games like Mario gimmick or kirby never look as good.

But the best looking is street fighter 2010. The detail and art direction is superb.

What's so impressive about Recca is how effortlessly it looks to be pushing the system.
There are 16-bit systems with similar games that look choppier in motion than it does.
>>
>>3205221
Kirby's adventure really pushed the NES to its limits. I say Kirby's adventure showed the absolute power of the NES
>>
Gimmick may be a technical marvel, but its looks are pretty simplistic.

I'd say Little Samson is best when it comes to raw detail.
>>
>>3205864
Because it's popular on /vr/, but that poster will quickly take a trip to YouTube and find some idiot over there taking about it so he can try discrediting it with the "e-celeb" approach.
>>
>>3205901
The game has flicker galore. It actually isn't pushing the system at all.
>>
>>3205273
No, because it's meme shit.

None of you plebs even mention the mighty CRISIS FORCE? I am disappoint. This is Konami basically going HAM on the Famicom late in its life.

The physics weren't "fucked up." They function fine and you can beat the game. They're just not as fun and lack a sense of weight and momentum, in my opinion. There's no "feeling" to it.
>>
>>3205223
Kirby has rubbish sloppy controls though.
>>
>>3206925
I don't think so. I think the controls and physics feel amazing, better than any other game for NES.

Agree to disagree I guess.

Smurfs, Asterix and Magician are also pretty damn good looking.

Shooters are easy to make look nice even on limited hardware though, I don't find that very impressive and it doesn't look any better than other shooters on the NES. The music is cool though.

The only reason I cannot agree to that is because Adventure is plagued by slowdowns. First two worlds had little of them and come off as the better experience, the rest of teh game is a sad affair.
