Thanks!
I have a grudge with this game, as it's trailer said "out now", before it was out! I kept looking for it on PSN and couldn't find it, not even a preorder for it.
I know I'm being petty, but that's some fucked up uncoordinated bit of marketing there.
Anyhoo, looking forward to finally being able to download this tonight.

How's the pixel scaling for "retro" mode on Switch, in both handheld and docked mode? This is a pain point for me, and after Blaster Master I want to be sure before I buy.
I'm gonna have to double dip on PC so that I can use my Saturn USB pads with this. The PS4 controller is fine and all, but it feels wrong here.
I'm gonna need to pick up physical releases too if they happen.
Charm in the original game is a stat affected mostly by equipment but also by charm stones that have a small chance to drop from enemies. If you don't have enough charm points, stores won't sell or even show certain equipment. It might do more, but it was ages since I played this game.
In THIS game, however, I don't know how any of this works. I can't find any mention of charm points anywhere in the GUI.

Wow is this gorgeous on the Switch portable. Just a gorgeous game, period. Fantastic job by the Devs.
Seems fine to me, but I'm not super sensitive to this sort of thing.
You can control scanlines of increments of 10% and there is a really cool "retro monitor effect" and "gamma correction" that can be toggled. With everything on it really does a great job of creating that "crt feel"
I'm constantly switching back and forth as I play its so cool.
Like the hat?

Got it on the US shop on switch. Looks gorgeous.

Yeah it's really not challenging on normal mode. Just got to swap to the lion man, still without deaths. Is it possible to change to hard mode without starting over?
Still, I love love love the game!

There are charm stones.
They're located in super secret places that weren't in the original game.

I've found 2 (I think) of the new secret zones so far. They seem to be pretty tough areas.
It's nice to have some new stuff to explore for. As someone who has played the original so many times, earlier today when I was playing I was feeling like I could probably wrap this up in a few hours if I really wanted too - trying to make it last longer though.

Found a neat trick that lets you lock the graphics mode transition in place. When you press the button and the transition comes across the screen, start hammering the button so it never makes it to the other side. Each time you get it right, it gets slower, til eventually it just stops. Then you can carry on playing like that. Weird!
OP checking in - finally finished work, done my domestic bits with the family and now can formally lock them away and get going.
Hype at critical!
Just make sure to let them out for air.
Not till I'm at least Mouse Man
You should look into using the far superior "Basic White" theme.

Finished the game a couple of minutes ago and only the "Beat the game on Hard Mode" trophy is missing now. I played the original many many times in the last 20 years, so this was a dream come true.

I almost always choose female characters in games because male characters are just boring to me. I found it incredibly cool that picking the female option in this game changes the intro title to say "Wonder Girl".

Ah the memories. I played this lots of years ago on my SEGA Master System ( which I still own ). It was a great game back then and it's quite difficult to get a CIB version nowadays. Gonna buy and see if it stil holds up.

Need a little help.
I need to turn back into the lizard guy to continue to the pirate zone
it's after you find the transformation room for the first time.
No idea where you can transform again. You can't go back to the lava area cause you need to be the lizard guy. Any ideas?

I would never use the word superior. definitely "different" or "alternate". That being said, the TG-16/PCE soundtrack was likely as much a labor of love as this one and would have been an amazing (albeit probably impossible) inclusion.
Funny thing is the TG-16 game was my first exposure.. it was only.. maybe 6 months later, that I played the SMS game (even though I had a SMS since ~87)

So, is the difficulty on Normal actually easier than the original?
Probably. You do seem to get more money from each kill, making easier to afford new equipment without having to grind (much).
I suppose Hard difficulty is the same as the classic game's standard mode.
Guys, I beat the Lion Man section!!!!! The boss almost wrecked me.
yep! That's my main complaint. To make things a lot easier, go to the place with the desert and grind items for a little.

Nice work OP, just a side note though where can I steal that PS4 theme? Must have...

That sounds about right. I noticed that I could take a ton of hits, but I also bought the armor at the first shop right away. The clouds are still assholes and enemies seem to act the same.

Bought this on Switch. So charming! Runs silky smooth, tight controls and wonderful graphics. Retro graphics and sound modes are super cool as well! Played the docked version with my pro controller. Haven't tried the handheld mode yet.
