I have no shame in saying that I'll be playing this game on my soft modded Xbox as opposed to original hardware. Viva la savestates!

I hooked up the Retron5 last night and played for a few minutes. It's as challenging as I remember it.  I'll put some good time into the game this week.  Anyone else started?

Very nice! Your first arrow upgrade is coming very soon, so be sure to check those rooms.

I'm working on 1-4 right now. I've managed to find the boss, but I'd been turned into an eggplant, so I have to figure out how to avoid getting turned, and/or how to undo it. I think I might consult a FAQ in the matter.

Not at all. Any way you can participate in and discuss the game is great.

I may have to start over and grind a bit harder. I got quite a ways into the game, and botched my save state so I had to start from scratch. Half a day, gone. Then I got farther, employing multiple save states, but I keep getting pounded on by enemies, and can't seem to collect enough life and spare bottles to keep me afloat. This game is brutal.

Why wouldn't Duke be playing the Famicom version ha.  Going to fire this up in s few in my 3Ds. Getting snow here in CT so we'll be slow at the game store.

IMHO 1-3 is the hardest level in the entire game. I made it through it when I got lucky enough to get offered the glass of health from the merchant and got a bottle in the treasure room. After that level, it's all downhill if you just take it slow.

This is encouraging. I never played last night after work. Did play a bit of NES Remix to help with my KI skills. Might try again tonight. Crazy that one of, if not the most difficult stage, is right at the beginning of the game.
