I still have to finish Super Metroid. I did get stumped a couple times, but eventually I worked it out. Patience, grasshoppah! I'll finish it soon, but other games have distracted me. Popful Mail and Ys VI currently. Both have tricky labyrinths and can be frustrating. I prefer not using strategy guides unless there's an absurdly disorienting dungeon. Limewater Cave, I'm looking at you! In the DARK, even with the Rainbow Fragment!
The whole fun of it is solving it yourself, not relying on your hand held through it like watching a movie. The atmosphere of these games kick in when you know you're all alone to fend for yourself. Granted, in Popful Mail you have buddies!
There wasn't a Nintendo hotline bitd because gamers were so hardcore that they could figure everything out on their own.Quote:

The problem with Super Metroid being 30 cents is that I can't just buy it for 30 cents. I have to buy it for $10 since that's the lowest amount you can put in your Wii U funds. I will have money left over and NOTHING is ever going to cost 70 cents or $X.70. It's just like Xbox Live. It sucks my unwiped ass. I will not buy anything from any Nintendo or Microsoft store unless I can simply pay what the items costs and no more. Reason: I'm not an idiot with my finances.
I beat Metroid 2 *ONCE*, and I had help from maps in a issue of Nintendo Power.
I remember telling someone I beat "Link's Awakening" without ever dying, apparently this is a feat of superhuman ability.:huh:
Back in the day, games were about "challenge" not noobish shit that we see today. I remember teaching myself how to navigate through Metal Mech without taking damage in the first two levels. I also remember learning how to beat World of Illusion by watching a younger girl(a next door neighbor of mines at the time) play through it.Quote:

They didn't know how to exit the room nor did they know how to change into the morph ball. Gaming nowadays is all about hand holding and tell you where to go and how to do it.Quote:

Oh DLC, NOT the multiplatform shit. Yeah, I agree. The Digital content and mobile games is MUCH better and more rewarding than the retail games.Quote:
