Henry Hatsworth for DS extremely overrated

How did this game get a metacritic average of 82 ? Lack of checkpoints make this this game absolutely unplayable.

EDIT: Nice try, golf clap

Henry Hatsworth is the best platformer on the DS.

You just suck at the game.

But all that time spent grinding and plodding along just ends up flushed down the toilet with one false move. It's infuriating. Even Mighty Switch Force has checkpoints with those tiny stages. Why does the game bother shoveling out extra lifes if all your progress in a level is simply lost if you die?

I think it's an oversight, the game is tough but not overly challenging, but even Ninja Gaiden had decent checkpoints. But apparently some people here are ultra supergamers that I'M SURE have beaten this game without ever dying.

Some people have beaten Battletoads without ever dying.

Battletoads is largely a skill based game that isn't plodding at all that has checkpoints to help replay difficult portions to advance your own skill. This is not comparable to Henry Hatsworth. Also, Battletoads is a VERY difficult game, so what's your point ? My point is, Henry Hatsworth is not an exceedingly difficult game. However, it's very possible to die. When you die, you have to start the very long stage over again from the start. This is extremely tedious. I have absolutely no interest in playing a game that forces you to play an entire stage over again after grinding for jewels. Even just skipping over grinding, the game is slow paced.

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
