I replayed YI on the SNES Mini and I’m still wondering how 13 yo me could do that shit 100% without savestates.I remember a number of middling reviews for this. It wasn’t until quite a bit later that it took off. I beat it in 95 and thought it was ok. Came back and 100¥’d it 20 years later and loved it, except for that skiing bonus level.
Metroid Federation Force caused a meltdown for the ages. It was 2016, Nintendo was in deep shit with WiiU, 3DS had like 5 revisions and 200 limited editions and it still was having a fraction of the success of the DS. The Metroid logo appears onscreen, everyone’s hype blasts beyond orbit in a second, and then they show… that.
It wasn’t even a bad game, but boy, did gaming forums catch fire that one time.
