This was the sort of game that was good on it's own and it had nothing to do with the franchise. You could have removed all Astro Boy references on it and it would remain just as solid

it really did feel like a labor of love and I have some good memories of this game when I got it way back in the day though I still no nothing about any of this aside from what was in the game

Though I will say that getting the very last part of the character honeycomb filled was a bit of a pain in the ass because for some reason even though I did the whole end sequence a few times I missed out of getting credit even though I feel certain that I watched the credits all the way through

>$40 for yet another Puyo Puyo game

>Puyo Puyo killed Compile

Hopefully it kills off Nicalis too, seeing Cave Story fans cry would invigorate me and soothe the rage I feel every time I think of Puyo Puyo.

Omega Factor was clearly made with love. Not only for Astro Boy but for Tezuka's works overall.

And the international version was significantly harder than the Japanese version; differently sized enemies and new enemy strength colors were introduced, US easy is about where Japanese normal was overall, and they added a hard mode that will wreck your shit against some bosses (artificial sun comes to mind)

you have to sit on THE END for a while longer than most games would expect you to before Wato will foil Sharaku's plans in a most classic method

I did get there in the end but I remember that I was lost and confused about that for like a sold month 2004 was a long time ago shut up

100% it on all difficulties as well which was very satisfying

>>15934253

nothing to be ashamed of at all; I was part of the board on gamefaqs now THAT you can shut up about when the Japanese version was all we had and a western release looked like a pipe dream. Together, about 15 members contributed to hunting down the various secrets of the game. It took over a month to find the post-ending scene

tfw you beat the first loop but don't have any context because you don't speak the language. All you can do is watch the Earth burn and wonder how bad you fucked up

That's Puzzle Fighter though. Puzzle Fighter and Puyo are two very different things.

>soothe the rage I feel every time I think of Puyo Puyo.

Why do you hate it so much?

I hope Treasure comes back from the grave and makes a game about Tezuka's transformation furry porn.

>>15934242

I just don't think Cave Story is a very good game, mostly because it's very linear and the jetpack thing.

>Why do you hate it so much?

While Compile managed to release some cool games after Puyo Puyo made it big (resulting in Sega buying the franchise so as not to compete with their own Baku Baku) like Shadowrun CD, Zanac X Zanac, Guru Logi Champ, they were mainly "the Puyo Puyo studio" and they never really had another hit. They just rode the franchise into the dirt and it pains me that the studio behind Blazing Lasers and Gun-Nac had to go like that.

Sage for off-topic.

>>15934298

I need to play puzzle fighter, does it play that different from puyo though? Looks fairly similar.

>>15934482

Kind of a silly reason to hate puyo. Also, Cave Story has around 4 or 5 different ways to play it when all is said and done. Also, did you get the vanilla jet pack or the suped up version?

>>15934482

If it's any consolation, Compile's last mainline puyo game is one of the worst ones.

>>15935306

I've only played a bit of it but it's pretty striking how useless chaining is in the game. Not even chaining into a big gem trigger really seemed to increase the value of that big gem. I guess it's necessary to keep the game from being a straight puyo clone but still it feels like there's some depth lost. If you want to play the game and you have access to the PS3 version then you need to play that version. Even though Crapcom put ugly filters on the game it's still the better version because the garbage shapes for the characters were modified so there are characters other than Ken that are actually viable.

So that's why I felt like the plot "forgot" about them after being defeated. I should have waited but I don't have much free time anymore, sadly.

I remember making a thread about them returning a year ago. Wonder what's going on with them now.

>>15934225

If i remember right, they're mostly a for hire thing(hence all the licensed games), and they still seem to be around, so chances are they're just not getting work,
