Speaking of bad NES games, King's Knight reboot; Was there a demand for this!?

I always get King's Knight and Deadly Towers mixed up for some reason. Did Square have anything to do with the latter?

No, I'm pretty sure Deadly Towers was Irem (published by Borderbund in North America, not sure if it came to the PAL regions.) But Deadly Towers was a much better game. Hard as hell, but a much better game.

Okay, so I'm 15+ hours into FF15, and I have to say... I'm loving it. It's basically the result of three or so past FF games gangbanging an Elder Scrolls or Bethesda-Fallout game, with Secret of Mana as a fluffer, but in a really good way. It exceeded my expectations.

Right now, King's Knight is only brought up in conversations (mostly by Prompto, the token blonde twink of the J-Rock boy band.) Apparently, King's Knight is basically the FF15's world equivalent to Pokemon Go or something. Imagine an alternate universe where Hydlide had 15 sequels and like 82 spinoffs. It's also kind of sad to see SqEn planning to squeeze blood from a cash cow that never once brought them bank.

If the DLC that's supposed to have King's Knight actually playable includes a whole lot more than just King's Knight... well, I'll give it a go just to see how much polish they're putting on this fossilized turd. But if the only thing included is JUST the new King's Knight, then fuck it.

Probably for the best. The NES had it rough in the UK market thanks to home PCs and Sega actually putting effort into the Master System. It didn't need a game that was hated so much to tarnish the system's already bad rep (yes, I knew kids that hated Deadly Towers before the internet told them it was a bad game.)

Oh yeah, the real world product placement in this game is batshit insane. Not just Cup Noodle, the gang also carries Coleman camping equipment... since, you know, camping out is pretty much a requirement a bit later in the game (you can kind of get away with just renting a room and buying pre-cooked food in the first couple of chapters.)

That's about the most WTF thing about this game. That and the shitty magic system which I can only describe as a mutation of FFVIII's, except you're not drawing them from enemies. But everything else is fine. They perfected the use of Chocobos, moreso than FFVII.
