  Guys, the book seems like a hack job because back in ancient times, this was our version of a dumb listicle you read on the shitter.

  I wasn't aware that Super Metroid was also half a Kigurumi Adventure!  I thought that's what Balan Wonderworld was...

  The box scan of Popful Mail here is of my copy of the game that I contributed to Gamefaqs many years ago! It's very distinct due to that dark area around Mail's knee. 🙂

  I think my favorite games on this list are either "impossible because no one wants to play it" or "impossible because of game-breaking bugs that make you have to start all over again."

  Japan's generalized indifference to Super Metroid has always perplexed me. I get that the Alien-esque setup feels very Western, but it's such a trailblazer of a series. Nintendo treating Metroid like an also-ran series was a source of agony in the late 00's when the Metroidvania genre was almost entirely dead, but after the indie renaissance of the 2010s pumped out literally hundreds of indie Metroidvanias, it's now sufficiently oversaturated that it's hard to care if Japan shrugs off the genre.

  I appreciate an actual list of precisely estimated difficulty, rather than the usual arbitrary means. The majority of these are spot-on.

  Seeing this reminded me of something: the fourth Doraemon game and Spider-Man: Lethal Foes are actually developed by Argent (written in plain English), and are usually miscredited as Agenda on a lot of websites. Then again, most people who collect the credits for the games don&apos;t actually beat the games to see the credits, and there&apos;s always katakana confusion. I mean, unless Argent and Agenda are the same dev team, it does cause a bit of problems. Then again, are there other games by Argent misattributed to Agenda?

  Thunder Spirits actually has autofire but it&apos;s locked behind pressing SELECT+START on the title screen. I suspect this is because when it&apos;s turned on, the game is even more of a laggy mess than it already is.
