@Arugula I think you’ve just described 90% of Nintendo games. Growing up there was always one tiny thing that annoyed me in pretty much every first party Ninty game.
@Arugula I honestly can’t tell if my atrocious shovel accuracy is due to the terrible controllers or the terrible aiming in game. Either way it does my bloody head in 😂😂
@KratosMD Advance Wars Dual Strike is one of my favourite strategy games and while I’m not sure how it’s aged, I had loads of fun with it at the time. I’m actually playing through the GBA Castlevania games just now and Circle of the Moon was both surprisingly good and incredibly frustrating. The movement’s quite stiff, the graphics are horrible and it’s insanely difficult. It’s actually really rewarding though, it’s almost like a Souls game in that respect. It’s kinda hard to recommend though since it took me about 5 hours of grinding just to beat Dracula!
@KratosMD I definitely agree with you there. Oh the hours I’ve lost restarting in Advance Wars and Fire Emblem, I probably could have played a whole other game in that time!
@KratosMD Metroid Zero Mission is my favourite Metroid after Super Metroid and, though easier than some of the other 2d Metroids, is a neat little remake of the NES game. Also very pretty for a GBA game and holds up well on a bigger screen.
I must say the VC on the Wii U is pretty great and wish the Switch continued it. Ah well.
Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot
@KratosMD Absolutely - I bought Metroid Prime trilogy for Wii U because that is an expensive physical purchase and it was on sale a while ago using platinum points and works reall well on Wii U. I am tempted by some of the N64 titles. I have an N64 but no CRT so just doesn't look great and the Wii U has a great save state.
Without spoiling it, Zero Mission isn't too long as well and can be knocked out in a few play sessions but is really fun to play.
Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot
@KratosMD I know and I am quite gutted as I would probably fork out of some of these games again to be able to play on the Switch!
@kyleforrester87 You didn't answer Super Metroid so your position is utterly invalid. Because everyone's favourite Metroid game is Super Metroid. Even if you haven't played it or don't agree. Super Metroid.

@Rudy_Manchego I’ve tried to play it a few times, I can’t get into it. But I really wish I’d played it as a kid, I can tell I’d have absolutely loved it - I’d have drawn out the maps and everything. I know I almost enjoyed Axiom Verge as much as a young me would have enjoyed Super Metroid.
I was a big fan of Alien when I was a kid too which would have helped a lot.
@kyleforrester87 In fairness, it is too hard for me to pull out the nostalgia and the quality as Super Metroid is one of the few games on NES/SNES era I completed and replayed. Me and my Dad would play together and share where we had found secrets etc.
I would still credit it in being one of the few games of that generation where the technology, story telling and gameplay sort of lived up to what was in my imagination. The world was so detailed and fleshed out, amazing environmental storytelling and music. It almost felt like a movie.

Super Metroid is my favourite Metroid. Admittedly I've only played Super Metroid and the original Metroid, and the original Metroid really has not aged well. Super Metroid does still hold up rather well today.
@crimsontadpoles@nessisonett The Prime games are excellent and I think I would rank them higher over many of the 2d entries but even if you take into account all games, Super Metroid is just a thing of pure beauty!

Prime 1 was undone a bit for me by the ridiculous, hours long scavenger hunt in order to unlock the final boss. TLOZ: The Wind Waker did something similar.
