Nario's Ultimate Dance Pad Thread (Playing Super Mario Bros. 3 next!)

I'm happy you're back, dude. Ninja Gaiden is such a good game.

[Mirby]

If I had my stuff together, I would be.

That's unfortunate to hear (read???).

[Mirby]

Watched the vid finally; nice work. Particularly like the "Hammer Away At The Boss While He Hammers Away At You But Your Health Goes Down At A Slower Rate Than His" strategy. Works wonders. ^.^

[Gollgagh]

commonly known as the "wail on the boss" strategy

[Mirby]

I like my version better. Much more needlessly verbose.

[Gollgagh]

and more fun to say too!

Metroid Metal... ON A DANCE PAD!

Hopefully I'll beat the whole game for YouTube one day!

[OceansAndrew]

the pinnacle of awesomeness. I love seeing the annotations, anbd i sortof wish there was a little more footage of you playing, but Metroid Metal is awesome too, so I guess it was a tough camera choice.

Awesome work though!

[Cyril the Wolf]

Totally surprised to see you come up and do it up. Sadly I was too busy headbanging in the crowd to watch you play.

But I caught glimpses.

I can't wait to see your entire playthrough!

[Nario]

That's still awesome, Cyril the Wolf!

I Play Ninja Gaiden... ON A DANCE PAD (Part 10).

I've made it to Level 6-2!

[Mirby]

Nice work, Nick! Can't wait to see the rest of this!! You have what, 5 stages left?

:-D :-D woooooooooot!

Well, what are you going to do at the boss? If you die once you have to beat those levels all over again. That would not be a good thing for you.

[Nario]

Thanks Mirby! Thanks Chibi_Ma!

Well, what are you going to do at the boss? If you die once you have to beat those levels all over again. That would not be a good thing for you.

I've been practicing a little with a regular controller, but I don't know how much that will help me until I actually play it on a dance pad next Monday. In fact, I just beat the game for the very first time tonight on a regular controller (GOSH), but I thought CV1's final boss was easy and yet it took me two weeks to beat it on a dance pad, so... I have no idea what I'm going to do on a dance pad.

There's only one way to find out. I can't ignore the final boss forever.

[Gario]

Well best of luck to you - it's not going to be easy, at all. There might be a run back to the boss or two, but if you kill one boss or two, they stay dead after, so it's not completely hopeless.

I'm rootin' for ya.

[Strike911]

Nario, I know I've just kind of lurked behind the scenes and never said anything, but I must tell you... I'm amazed by your abilities.

Keep on keepin' on. I'm also rooting for you.

[Nario]

Gario: Thanks for the tips! That's really interesting...

Strike911: Thanks! And it's good to see you again!

[Nario]

I play Ninja Gaiden... ON A DANCE PAD (Part 12).

I think this is the angriest I've been on camera yet--the only other time I was actually angrier was when I fought Dracula on CV1, but the first 61 attempts were off-camera.

Next Monday, I'm beating Ninja Gaiden on a dance pad.

[Gollgagh]

go nario go

[Gario]

For most people, saying someone could beat them at a game with your feet would be an insult. For most people. Not with you.

I'm waiting patiently for you to take down that game, man. I hope your plan of attack works.

[Nario]

If anyone tells me that beating games with a dance pad is impractical, then I would admit that they tell the truth. However, if anyone tells me that what I do looks easy, then I'd like to see them try.

[Mirby]

I'll check it out tomorrow.

Provided I get to sleep at a decent hour tonight.

[Nario]

Finally did it. Took me eight months. Beat Ninja Gaiden with a dance pad.

I have poured my being into this. I wish I could advertise this.
