idk how much of the original difficulty was maintained on the re-release (at least on normal) but coming from some duche that is obsessed with hard 2d platformers, i must say ist not that big a deal, even with infinite lives some setpieces can be done easily with attention and some good platforming skills, and with that this games are a really enjoyable bytesized experience, similar to a megaman game.
AVGN 1 is my favorite out of the two since it feels more polished and interesting, 2 is not bad, but in the upgrades has the same problem as x1 on completely fucking your freedom of choice if you dont play the board world first to get the glove to get the rest of the items with no backtracks for 100%, and has more visibility issues, some of them i assume come from this remaster in particular spaming fucking bright colors on your fucking screen every second.
