I think I posted in the temporary version of this thread... Never played the original, know it's always been highly regarded, might be curious enough to try it, yadda yadda
I just completed it yesterday and it was a great experience. I can see how some people find it a bit formulaic after a while but I never got bored of it.
I can tell some people will disagree with this given the general vibe .
But i generally prefer Act Raiser 2. Game looks really good for snes better than 1, is very very hard, you get wings, & hack up a bunch of stuff. A kind of challenging metroidvania without the sims/city building which doesnt really appeal to me any way.
I missed the snes era. I know allot of people didnt like act raiser 2 as a sequel, but considering I had the choice of both at the same time, 2 felt much more my style. Battletoads Battlemaniacs is another i find addictive as it is hard.
*Remake actually looks really good, but it costs twice the amount Hollow Knight does(which includes dlc), & as far as 2d sidescrollers Hollow Knight is king by a very large margin.
Ill definately keep an eye in the eshop sales.
The impression I got from the Digital Foundry video is that it's good but should be better. The background quality is inconsistent and the side scrolling is distracting. I'll probably play it eventually but there's no rush and if I never get around to it I haven't missed out on much.

I don't have a wii u anymore to test it myself, but if homebrews are not visible on the wii u menu I think you can press L + R + minus to open the plugin menu, there should be an option called "homebrews on wii u menu" or something similar
Or when your player dies, you can say in code, if enemy exists, do nothing, but if enemy does not exist, then create enemy at certain spot. (This would be a pain tho for lots of emeies)
