Whats Up Folks. While on Vacation I pulled out my trusty SNES Mini and actually played it.
A. Dad Note: Neo Rude still too young for video games doesn’t understand dpad and buttons. Got scared of the turtles in Mario World. Watched me play Super Metroid for 20 minutes and cheered me on the whole time. It was very sweet.
B. Played Super Metroid because my only source for entertainment My Life In Gaming Live Streams complained SM’s wall jump was very bad. Then an internet celebrity was inexplicably in the chat and agreed with them. Y’all know I hate Super Metroid but the extremely technical, extremely weird, never necessary wall jump that’s just kind of there if you want to find it I love. It requires button presses that have never been repeated in any other game including the thousands of games it inspired. Congrats Super Metroid Wall Jump! You Rule! I can make actual complaints about Super Metroid, but not today.
C. Donkey Kong Country fucking owns. You can just hang out with a buddy passing a controller barely caring about the game. What a bowl of chex mix DKC is.
D. I had inexplicably Operation Logic Bomb on this hacked console. There has been one post about this game. Turns out I had been admiring the incredible Japanese box art.
The game is a very solid C game. It has many cutscenes explaining the story of what happened. The first thing you see in the game is feet. It feels weirdly like a modern AA game, but no budget on the SNES.
