points aren't
I assume you mean Link to the Past? Man, if you think that's hard...the original NES game is some real obtuse shit. Burning bushes that all look exactly through trial and error, smh.
I finally got one of these after stressing about it for so long. Honestly, I feel a little stupid for even caring that much (waking up early to get in line, refreshing wegpages like a madman at crazy hours). It's quite the novelty to own but I started realizing that I didn't actually want to replay any of these game in their entirety and that maybe I shouldn't have cared so much.
It feels cool to own but I actually got very bored with it fast. I like almost all of the games on it too.
I'm not too sure if I'll get another fututre mini classic if the demand is so strong and the supply is so little. they're cool, but it's not cool enough to wait in line at crazy hours or refreshing webstores only to be disappointed.
I guess the fun is in the chase but I also found that more stressful than actually fun.

Just beat my first Zelda game
Anyone ever encounter a glitch in Win Super Mario World where the platforms and ropes halfway through the level don't all down properly?ay Cool
Congrats! And as your reward you have lots of amazing games in store for you in the series.
It is. I redeemed the EU points with my US account.
I wish this game had a screenshot feature.
Earthbound was worth the $80 just by itself to me - I'm having so much fun with it. I mean I've heard about it being a good game but I'm just barely in () but I love it. I have fallen in love with its quirkiness, how absolutely non-serious and downright silly and weird the entire game is, the cool music, the strange enemies, the psychedelic backdrops in battles, the sprite work and art style - I adore everything about the game so far. And the gameplay is just so fun too! It's not exactly an easy turn-based RPG either, but doesn't (so far) seem to take too many "cheap shots" at the player although there are some occasions where I've felt a little unfairly destroyed by a string of bad luck but then again, most of the time in these "old school" RPGs you just have to learn when to head back to "base" and heal and rest and typically dying to anything other than a boss is usually because you simply extended yourself too much.Just got the second character in the party
However, I'm being able to take advantage of save states so that does make things much easier.
The combat system is surprisingly deep and the enemies feel particularly unique, especially with their own combat music.
So glad I got the chance to experience Earthbound for the first time.

I've just started to play Final Fantasy VI for the first hour or so. This is my first playthrough and I already love the music and the atmosphere - kind of reminds me of Final Fantasy VII where you can sense this great amount of adventure and melancholy mixed together!
So, what specifics should I know and keep in mind for my first playthrough? Is it a very grinding heavy game? Should I backtrack a lot to visit old towns and locations for anything to happen? Anything hidden in the game that I should be aware about to make the playthrough as comfortable as possible?
FF7 and Xenogears don't unless ya go all in on grinding and doing every last lil optional thing! My XG time from last year was 49 hours and that included hours of extremely pointless endgame grinding to see all the deathblows I'd never seriously have a chance ta use in battle (since its welllllll before that point that it became Gear Battles: The Game). I can't name a single PS1 rpg I've played that took 50 or more hours just ta clear the story! I mighta just got lucky an only ended up playing the goo... er short rpgs!

I not only completed it, but got every piece of heart without a guide.
We had more time and patience back then.
Has there been any reason given to why Japan got a different Street Fighter 2 game than Europe and the US?
Dont see the reason to not give everyone Super Street Fighter 2?
I believe Turbo was the popular version in the West.

Same here. Everyone had the original. And my family happend to have a japanese import of Super.Yeah, anecdotally that seems to be the case. Interestingly enough, I actually only played the original SFII, and Super SFII, so I have no nostalgia for Turbo; however, my wife has only played Turbo so that's her favorite version.
Yeah most people didnt have a choice of 50 other games in a backlog like so many do these days.
If I see my son has stopped playing a game it's inevitably because he got "stuck" at some point. A fight was too hard for him or he didn't know where to go next. I didn't have that luxury as a kid. I figured it out or had nothing to play.
Yeah, exactly. Doubly so during the SNES era, when carts were super expensive for the time, especially with a kid's allowance. I was lucky to get one game per 2-3 months, even if I used the entirety of my allowance.
A game back then could cost you around 50-60€. That's around the 100€ mark in today's money!
Don't remember SNES carts being that expensive. They were about 50-60 dollars. I remember the first time I ever went to a Funcoland and saw the games were much more expensive than other places. Like $80. Then I learned they marked up the new ones to get people to buy the used ones so they would make more money.
I guess that's how Gamestop got their business model when they acquired all the different video game stores.
I got one from Best Buy on launch day, and it has the AC adapter. My Amazon preorder came yesterday and it doesn't have one, only a usb cable. It also has a different sticker on the bottom that says "Distributor: Active Boeki K.K."
They are the ones without an AC adapter so that kinda stinks.
Just like back to the future 2Delivered the 2nd SNES Mini I got to my nephews this weekend. They immediately fired up 2P Mario Kart and both of them tried moving the controller like a Wii Mote to steer lol
It's not that complicated, because they almost always tell you where you need to go, or there's an icon on the map.
I beat it as a kid, so who knows.
Having a rough time on Super Metroid... I just can't wall jump consistently to save my life lol.

I bet Capcom wish they could do those numbers with anything. The original Street Fighter 2 on SNES is their highest selling sku of all time to this day. The only sku to even come close is Monster Hunter Portable 3rd.I bet Capcom wish they could do those number with SF today. SFV + USF2 combined is barely above the second revision of SF2 on SNES alone.
