The thing about Giana Sisters on DS is that it's easy as far as platformers go (I wouldn't say that it sucks). If you just want some easy playing instead of fullblown hardcore that's probably ideal though.

So... it's not a flawed game then? http://storage.proboards.com/6576594...AdabuZaauf.gifQuote:

I think the problem with overrated classic games is that most rely on nostalgic memories when praising games instead of replaying them more recently. I mean come on, replaying games. Gross, who does that?
Lol.
But you gotta admit. One thing is to replay a 30 minute one go game versus a 100 plus hour game.
The problem for a while now is there are more people than not who adopt opinions from others, often without ever touching a game and still go around preaching "everybody knows". When asked to quantify anything, the most they come up with is that any one aspect of such games are just "the best". If you dare to press further, asking how a "legenedary" game is better in that aspect than a particular game, they just revert back to "everbody says so".Quote:

It's led to all of these catchprases such as "Zelda good", which work as disclaimers to game playing enthusiasts.
I feel like that applies to a number of Nintendo and RPG games, especially on SNES. It's a bandwagon thing, much like the people who list certain games as the worst ever without playing it. Personally, I could come up with a list of games that I feel like people just say they really like in order to fit in with the bandwagoners. Even ones I really like such as Tecmo Super Bowl.Quote:

Even on this site, I've always seen mostly high opinions of that one, so I didn't except it. It's always been one of my favorite games.Quote:

Maybe to the extent that Nintendo fans act as if SMB was the video game equivalent of the big bang rather than an evolutionary step in the genre? That sentiment is the only related thing which bugs me about the game, but the game itself is solid. Not crazy about how slippery Mario is or the emphasis on secrets myself -- I bought my NES for Duckhunt :) -- but it's definitely a good game.
It is.Quote:

Almost as like - if there wouldn't be SMB, human race would not exist.
Easy, dude.Quote:

I'd advise people to check out the Game Boy Color port of it (Super Mario Bros. Deluxe). An excellent version with additional features and options, something you won't see from a Nintendo game or port now these days.
It may have been commercially successful, but it's still a Pac-Land clone.Quote:

I'm pretty sure this gave way to the "Advanced" ports of Super Mario 2, 3, and World we got later on.
