Game Plans

Sundays:

A set of games I can play while watching the other streamers on the multistream and interacting with chat. Must fit the format of shorter (2-hour) streams.

 

  • Super Mario (current: Odyssey)

  • Picross S (when I need a break: S2)

  • Power Wash Simulator (between games)

Choice Games:

A set of games I really want to play, whether by express choice or a sense of obligation. Twitch viewers can populate this with a points redemption. Presently, I am finishing series that I started earlier and then gained further access to series entries after finishing the set.

This set is currently on weekdays.

 

  • The Legend of Zelda (current: The Wind Waker HD)

  • Pokemon
  • Wonder Boy
  • Xenoblade (on deck: X Definitive Edition)

Poll Games:

A set of games selected by viewer poll. I try to run entire series before moving to the next.

This set is currently on Saturdays.

 

  • Final Fantasy (current: Romancing SaGa 2)
  • Metroid (on deck: Zero Mission)

Event Games/Etc.:

Games and other streams voted on by the community for certain events. Most often, this is for annual events such as my Twitch Affiliate anniversary and my streaming anniversary, or as a break between finishing game series. There can be more of these if Twitch subscription milestones are hit.

 

  • Between Choice series: model building
  • First Saturday monthly: Hollow Knight Randomizer

 

KONG OF THE CLOUDS

 

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD - https://youtu.be/JoGJxW38LO0

 

I still think the final boss was harder.

 

Level 9-9, or level 80 by total level count, certainly delivered as the hardest level in the game. To get there, you have to beat every other level before it, including all the K levels. And it's reflected well in its difficulty. Even considering that, however, it still took me less time to both beat it with all puzzle pieces and finish its time attack than even some of the normal levels. Which is probably why I was only moderately frustrated instead of just wanting to end stream when I finished it.

 

The contents of the gallery are great! I kind of wish I didn't have to finish Mirror Mode on every level in order to see everything, but I also get that they want to have some kind of reward in mind for that challenge. It's just way too hard for me. From my first time through all the levels, 3-6 health is just barely enough for me to finish them, and that's when hearts show up. You get NO hearts on Mirror Mode. Mess up twice and it's back to the last checkpoint with you. I can't imagine fighting some of the bosses with that restriction.

 

That's all for the Donkey Kong Country series! While this won't be the last we see of DK (since he shows up in some Mario titles and I do plan to play that series), I'm not aware of any other DKC games that exist. I guess Nintendo/Retro Studios will have to make more if we want to do more of this kind of game. However, there are plenty of other 2D platformers available for me to play, and I have quite a few on my to-stream list. No rush, developers.
