It's harder than Dark Souls.

Most games are.

This literally isn’t true

>>714704389 (OP)
it isn't but the lost levels is

>>714704389 (OP)
most nes games are

Mario 1 is harder

literally impossible

>>714704389 (OP)
I've never played Dark Souls but is this actually true? SMB3 is piss easy.

>>714704731
>it isn't
ive seen hardcore Mario Maker players get a couple game overs playing through smb3 normally for the first time

>>714705392
depends. Soulsfags gimp themselves to make their games enjoyable, but if you play normally SMB3 is harder.

>>714704389 (OP)
Dark Souls is a difficult game that anyone can beat by just being clever.
SMB3 is raw skill. It’s do-or-die in that game.

As someone who grew up on NES games and beat a shit ton of the "hard" ones when I was 8-10, it amazes me how absolutely plebeian most later era gamers are. Imagine a 10 year old today beating Solomon's Key without guides.

>>714705740
That's honestly surprising and pathetic.

>>714705825
to be fair, some of those old games were needlessly cryptic. how is one supposed to guess that in Simon's Quest, you'd need to get a specific ring. crouch down next to a specific wall, and wait like 10 seconds to get to the next area?

>>714705961
Edge case. Adventure Island is the most difficult nes game I ever beat.

>>714705961
Yeah I never beat Castlevania II, Zelda II or Metroid because of stuff like that. i guess you were supposed to buy Nintendo Power magazines to figure that stuff out but you couldn't find game magazines anywhere until the early 90s. But for example Mike Tyson's Punch Out was beatable if you just played it long enough to git gud.

>>714704389 (OP)
It really isn't. I could beat it as a kid with ease, and I sucked at videogames as a kid. Couldn't beat Double Dragon. Couldn't beat Ninja Gaiden. Mario 3? No sweat.
I have beaten DD and Ninja Gaiden as an adult, though. Took me about 10 hours each.
I gave up on Dark Souls after 50 or so hours. The fat guy and spearman were just too much for me.

Spamming P-wings and Warp Whistles doesn't count as beating the game you disingenuous nigger. Seriously who do you niggers think you're fooling with these quasi-AI posts?

The only hard levels are the water and moving fortress ones.

Dumb soulstard

>>714708201
It's 8-1 for me.

>>714708628
Tough level until you memorize it but it's actually pretty fun once you have it down.

>>714704389 (OP)
The hardest one is the one you havent played the most/at all

>>714704389 (OP)
most old games are

>>714704389 (OP)
most of the difficulty in dark souls is unironically just people not understanding how the game works, stuff like not upgrading your weapons so you do shit damage, not knowing the roll is a magic iframes button that lets you phase through weapons the size of your body, and button mashing too hard when the game has a comically long input buffer so they swing at nothing due to queing up attacks during the previous one and getting whiff punished

outside of knowing some skips mario 3 is just navigate the obstacle course or die, you cant read a wiki to learn how to jump properly because the game has two buttons, you just have to git gud

>>714708628

As a kid, I used a game genie to give myself infinite lives.

I beat the game.

That's a very low bar. Most modern games are harder than souls.

>mails you letters while kidnapped
>Majority are tips for stages you already beat
Thanks princess

>>714712170
It's called snail mail for a reason

>>714712170
But, she's not kidnapped until just after world 7.

>>714712710
So Mario is just trying to stop the kidnapping from happening the whole time? Also why did they agree to be in this play?

>>714712928
>So Mario is just trying to stop the kidnapping from happening the whole time?
No.

OG or Allstars?

>>714712710
Who's that so called "King of the Koopa"

>>714713004
The only real big difference is the graphics. I've heard that All Stars might be a little less responsive.

I bet it's this guy
