Ripple Island

Before they became known for their classic action games like Blaster Master, Batman and Journey to Silius, Sunsoft made many Japan-exclusive games for the Famicom in various genres. One of these was Ripple Island (occasionally translated as Lipple Island), a straightforward adventure game with plenty of charm that’s worth checking out for fans of Japanese adventure games and especially newcomers.

Ripple Island - On This Day in Gaming History

On this day in 1988, Ripple Island was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

Ripple Island is a fun and nostalgic game that will transport players back to the golden age of 8-bit gaming. The game is set on a small island where the player takes on the role of a young boy who is tasked with saving the island from an evil witch.

The gameplay is simple yet engaging, with players using the NES controller to guide the boy through various levels filled with obstacles and enemies. The game features a variety of weapons and power-ups that can be collected along the way, including a sword, boomerang, and bombs.

One of the best things about Ripple Island is the colorful and detailed graphics. The game's visuals are reminiscent of the classic NES games of the past, with bright and vibrant colors that pop off the screen. The sound effects and music are well done, adding to the overall atmosphere of the game.

In addition to its retro charm, Ripple Island offers a surprising amount of depth in its level design. Each level is filled with obstacles and enemies that require quick reflexes and smart use of weapons and power-ups to overcome. The game’s boss battles add an extra layer of challenge and excitement to the gameplay.

One of the standout features of Ripple Island is the variety of enemies and obstacles that players will encounter. From giant slugs to flying bats, the game keeps players on their toes with a constant stream of new challenges. The game's bosses are impressively designed, each with their own unique set of attacks and strategies to defeat.

Another great aspect of Ripple Island is its replayability. As players progress through the game, they will discover hidden secrets and collectibles that can be used to unlock new levels and power-ups. This adds an extra layer of motivation to keep playing, as players will want to discover everything the game has to offer.

Overall, Ripple Island is an excellent NES game that offers a nostalgic and fun gaming experience. Its retro charm, well-designed levels, variety of enemies, and replayability make it a must-play for fans of classic NES games. If you're looking for a fun and nostalgic gaming experience, Ripple Island is definitely worth checking out.

ROPE OF THE WEEK (2):

HAUL-MASTER 1/4 IN. X 50 FT. POLYPROPYLENE ROPE

FROM AQUA HARBOR FREIGHT

(Real equivalent equivalent to Harbor Freight)

HELLO! I’M ROPE MF AND I LOVE ROPES!!!

I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT MY ROPES EARLIER BUT KING DEDEDE TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD TRY LEAVING THE FOREST MORE OFTEN

AND I ASKED HIM “WHY?” 

AND HE REPLIED “WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU LEFT THE FOREST? DON’T INCLUDE THOSE MEETINGS WITH YOUR ROPE DEALERS.”

I TOLD HIM “YEARS.”

SO THEN HE SENT ME TO THE RAINBOW ISLANDS TO EXPLORE THEM FOR FIVE DAYS!

HE ALSO SENT ME SOME STAR COINS TO BUY FOOD BUT I BOUGHT ROPES INSTEAD!!!

I’M GOING TO TALK THIS ROPE I BOUGHT ON THE TRIP NOW!

WITH OVER 645 REVIEWS AND RATED AT 4.6 STARS

THIS POLYPROPYLENE ROPE IS A THREE-STRANDED TWIST ROPE

THAT MEANS IT'S NOT ONLY EASY TO HANDLE, BUT GREAT FOR THE OUTDOORS BECAUSE IT’S RESISTANT TO MILDEW AND MOLD

IT’S ALSO ROT-PROOF

IT’S ALSO DESIGNED TO FLOAT ON WATER

THAT MEANS IT WON’T SINK LIKE MY OLD ROPE DID!

I MISS MY ROPE SO MUCH…

(Rope MF needed a moment to mourn his lost rope)

ITS SLICK SURFACE IS GREAT BECAUSE IT PREVENTS IT FROM SNAGGING

WHICH MEANS IT’S EASIER TO DRAG WHILE WALKING AROUND THE FOREST LIKE I USUALLY DO!

THIS ROPE DOES NOT ONLY DOES ALL THE THINGS STATED BEFORE

BUT IT ALSO DOES. NOT. EASILY. FRAY.

THAT’S AMAZING!!!

THIS ROPE IS SUPER DURABLE

WHICH IS GREAT BECAUSE I CAN HOLD AND LOOK AT THIS ROPE FOR LONGER!!!

IT CAN ALSO HOLD UP TO 112 POUNDS!

112 POUNDS WORTH OF ROPES!!!

112 POUNDS WORTH OF ROPE MF!

ONE KING DEDEDE FROM 16 YEARS AGO! 

NOW, WE WILL NEED AT LEAST TWO HUAL-MASTER 1/4 IN. X 50 FT. POLYPROPYLENE ROPE TO CARRY KING DEDEDE

BUT MORE ROPES THE MERRIER!!!

YOU THINK THIS ROPE WOULD BE EXPENSIVE WITH HOW HIGH QUALITY IT IS BUT NO! IT COST 12 STAR COINS!!! THAT IS ALMOST 2 KIRBY BURGERS FROM THE WADDLE DEE CAFE

(Based off of some calculations, a star coin cost at least $0.18 and the rope in the real world cost $2.19 (I rounded it down and used the American system))

THAT’S WHY I BOUGHT MANY OF THEM!

I’VE BEEN USING THEM ALL AROUND THE HOUSE

FOR EXAMPLE:

I USED IT THE OTHER DAY TO TIE DOWN ITEMS AROUND MY HOUSE DURING A VERY STRONG WIND STORM

I USED IT THE OTHER DAY TO NOT GET BLOWN AWAY DURING THE WIND STORM

I HAVE ALSO BEEN USING IT TODAY TO DRAG LOGS AROUND BECAUSE MY HOME GOT DAMAGED DURING THE WIND STORM

A SINGLE LIGHTING-BOLT SHOT THROUGH MY HOUSE, SETTING IT ON FIRE!!!

THE ROPE IS A GREAT HELP!!!

IT’S MAKING CARRYING AND DRAGGING THINGS AROUND EASIER WHILE I’M REBUILDING MY HOME!

I RATE THIS ROPE A

10/10

Peek through the lush greenery to catch a serene view of Lake Kivu in Rwanda, where an island rests quietly amid the gentle ripples. It's a little slice of tranquility, perfect for a moment of reflection.

I drew something for TBoCI for the first time in what feels like forever even though it’s only been a month

Something something AU where instead of sending each kid to the Magical Islands FT keeps all them with him and Perry as well so they ALL end up on Cold Island pre-collapse… Alternatively here’s four canon characters and two fanmade characters, guess whos who (all of that was sarcasm)

In other words I decided I will starting this over from the ground-up. It’s been over a year and my motivation is finally, FINALLY back. I will be keeping all of the current stuff on @theballadofcoldisland but that ask blog is officially shut down and is now just an archive.

Instead of being one long and strange story that only focuses on characters that honestly have nothing to do with the title, I will split TBoCI into several smaller stories that give a MUCH better insight on the motivations, groups, and the like. I will inevitably share the original files, drafts, and ideas.

This is the part where I get somewhat emotional and sincere apologies in advance to plushii, who I might mention in there. All good things, my friend. All good things.

I think this is the best course of action. There are a lot of characters in this story that despite being incredibly important, are not addressed properly or not at all until the last chapter that only exists in my notes. I mean… A massive amount of this story has only been discussed in a discord chat with a person I cannot contact anymore. It’s a massive mess of an idea that sounds stupider everytime I think of it.

And then a long while ago now, I was on Pony Town and talking to a friend I has just made. I distinctly remember they were in a Celestial skin. I think at some point they’d asked what “TBoCI” meant in my name, and I explained my story to them. They said they were writing a fanstory for MSM as well. I encouraged them to post it.

Now I daily see wonderful, wonderful content for that story, both from the creator and the fans. I finally understood what I did wrong. TBoCI was incoherent and messy where Fallen Stars was clean and consistent. I had so much in my mind that I had spilled it all out to One Person, and now there exists only two people in the world who know who the hell Kane is (possibly only one person now)!

What I’m trying to say is, in short, thanks @plushii-gutz . There’s a few factors to me being able to write TBoCI again, but you’re definitely the biggest part of that. Our encounter was a blessing.

And to everyone, please look forward to a much smoother ride. This is a fun one.
