Nintendo Hard/Newspaper Comics

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Examples of Nintendo Hard in Newspaper Comics include:

  • In one old FoxTrot comic, Jason buys a game called Mortal Karnage II and lampshades how hard it is to pull off combos in Fighting Games:

Jason (reading the instructions): Let's see, to throw a basic punch, hold down, the "B", "C", and "X", buttons, tap the "Start" button, use the arrow pad to indicate direction and release the "C" button when the Force Bar tops 80%
Peter: That's a basic punch?
Jason: Whoops, that was an Uppercut, the Basic Punch doesn't use the "X" button.

  • And how do you kick? The game includes a fold out chart showing how to do that.
