Fliptendo

Originally streamed Jan 18, 2022.

This is my streaming project "Fliptendo," in which I'm playing every NES and Famicom game in chronological order. I grew up with the NES, it's been a favorite system for a long time. The point of this project is to learn about all of the games and get a better historical perspective. While I won't beat every game, I will try to play through as many as I can, and show as much of the games off as I can.

Cobra Triangle is developed by Rare, published by Nintendo. A boating action game with many levels, with a variety of challenges: races, rescuing swimmers, defusing bombs, doing jumps, and fighting sea monster bosses. The game gets quite tough, and it has a lot of stages.

Aesthetically it looks quite nice, as most Rare games do. Like with RC Pro Am and other Rare games of the time, the player's ship sprite was 3D modeled and has very smooth turning animation. Also like with RC Pro Am the game has an isometric perspective, and controlling your ship takes a bit of practice. This game takes a lot of practice in general as it is very demanding, with it's limited continues; learning to play well and get 1ups is very important. The final boss in this game can be super cheap, and learning him is it's own problem. Even so, this is a pretty cool game that can be satisfying to learn.
