Let's talk Aguachile Alley

Nintendo announced they're going to start selling the Switch in China, and their stock is soaring today (which, as a shareholder, i appreciate)!

also, Cuphead should be out momentarily and i'm hyped to try it out. i've had a lot of success with 'difficult' games on this console, having beaten hollow knight, celeste, etc., in portable mode.

also, there's a whole thread about this on resetera, but reggie shared some artwork that Retro Studios made him as a retirement gift, and it's pretty clear that he placed his Mario statue in front of something/someone in the drawing to hide it. speculation abounds about whether it may be a character from the game Retro's been working on since Tropical Freeze...

Cuphead is really cool looking but I'm so terrible at games like this and the lack of save points. Ugh!

It is really fun though. I'm gonna have to change the buttons I think.

Just fyi there aren't that many sidescrolling platforming levels like megaman, most of the levels are extended boss fights, something that put me off at first but i later embraced

i actually started to get annoyed with the sidescrolling levels as i progressed deeper into the game. the boss fights are just so damn good.

insanely busy with work but took a break to play a few levels
definitely thought it was a sidescroller for some reason

really like it so far. the parrying seems weird though? like the timing is off or something?

damn, i love Cuphead. it's fucking gorgeous in every way. the platforming stages are a bit frustrating, but i seriously love the bosses and that feeling when you finally see 'KNOCKOUT' after your 4th or 5th try.

i beat the pyramid genie first, now i'm stuck on beppi the goddamn clown.

what upgrades/charms should i be buying first? i didn't realize how scarce gold coins were going to be early on and just randomly bought some shit that i'm regretting (though the homing shot has gotten me to this point, along with the extra heart container).

Extra heart is key. Do you have the triple shot? That's my predominant weapon so far. I read that as you get further on you really need to start using the temporary invincibility charm

i've got the dash charm (smoke bomb), and extra heart charm. i've also got the spread shot and the homing shot. and the first 2 upgraded specials (power beam and invincibility).

still haven't beaten beppi. can't figure out how to not get tagged by the baseball-throwing green penguins during (what i hope is) the last phase.

the little hash marks on the game over screen indicate what phase you lost in, correct?
