as for 16-bit style games being ported reasonably well to the SNES or Sega Genesis/MegaDrive or Turbografx-16 or I *guess* we can count the Neo Geo...

Shovel Knight: Maybe? I feel like some major changes would be needed
Octopath Traveller: haha no
Rivals of Aether: actually probably could
Axiom Verge: would require major changes to the graphics and probably removal of some powerups but I think you could do a fair approximation

i wonder how many retro style games could have a reasonable facsimile made of them on an 8-bit console (NES, Sega Master System, PC-88, MSX, etc)

Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon: Probably? need to change aspect ratio though
Mega Man 9/10: almost certainly with minor changes
Mega Man α (minigame in ZX advent): maybe
Tiger, Tiger (minigame in Xenoblade 2): Almost certainly
VVVVVV: probably, yeah

revali is just falco if he was in hyrule

kin stuff 

still feels *really weird* when people refer to their sona as a distinct entity from themself

i get that it's a thing and not everyone is kin but really it just feels weird

mh- 

bleh, looks like it's time to feel like i majorly messed up again when in fact i probably did nothing more than mildly annoy someone and then apologize for it

why is the UL Registered Component mark backwards

so uh, why exactly are chargin' chucks classed as powerups in super mario world again?

occasionally we remember that in the Elder Scrolls universe, dwarves are steampunk elves

It seems like every JRPG has to have the one character who uses something completely absurd as a weapon

in Baten Kaitos it's Lyude's brass instruments, in Wild ARMS 2 it's Lilika's umbrellas, in Tales of Symphonia it's both Genis's kendama and Sheena's cards, in Final Fantasy IX it's Quina's forks, I can probably think of more too if I bothered to

Honorable mention to Xenoblade Chronicles, where your healer shoots people with her magic healing sniper rifle

for some reason the concept of an "assault trumpet" is incredibly amusing to me

was just wondering why there aren't any references to the shinespark in samus's smash appearances and then i realized wait her dash attack is literally the horizontal shinespark pose

*opens muzzle, emits super metroid item get fanfare*

the Hearth :ms_agender_flag: boosted

Studying geology in the world of "Avatar: The Last Airbender" would be so weird. It'd be like, "You can see the stripes in these layers of sediment are bent on this side of the cliff. That was from a famous Earthbender in a battle 300 years ago."
