Smash Bros is a HAL game too, so it's kinda a givenlinko9 wrote:True enough, but Nintendo has definitely embraced it as its own with how its treated in Smash Bros. for example. Hard for me to disentangle Hal from Nintendo, but I guess that's because I wasn't around when they were separate.
Link's Awakening is obviously pretty much the best thing you can get for Game Boy altogether.BIL wrote:Wonderful game - quite unique, "adventure RPG" is a good description for it, indeed. I went with old favourite Link's Awakening DX for now, wanting something a bit more actiony for my still-fledging GB set, but the quality was unmistakable. Such a stirring overworld BGM. (edit: off-topic, but I did pick up another GB recommendation of yours, Cave Noire! Rad pocket dungeon raider. )M.Knight wrote:Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru
But Kaeru is basically a prequel to Link's Awakening, which was built on the same engine. One of the main characters from that game even appears as a pretty major cameo in the Zelda game, with his own mandatory quest. The dialogue makes it pretty clear that he's referring to something outside of the game itself, so researching that is the only reason I even heard of Kaeru in the first place. Very cute game, too bad it never got an official English release.
