I dunno, I just don't like the feel of it. I mean, it's definitely an improvement over the NES game but I just don't really vibe with how it runs. I feel like some of it is just really clunky compared to other games on the GameBoy (I think Kirby's Dream Land 2 ruined my expectations of the GameBoy forever). The movement and combat isn't terrible but it just feels really awkward, though I will say the game at least doesn't have terrible physics or any slow down. I also just REALLY don't like the lack of a map and the monochrome visuals just feel a sort of worse than other GameBoy games I've played so far. Again, like NEStroid, I might come back to this one day but for now, I think I'll just stick to the remake, sorry. Overall, a definite improvement over the first game, but not something I'd want to invest a lot of time in so I'll stick to trying out the remake.
