I feel like I do over stress this a bit but let’s break it down slightly.
I had Metroid when I was a kid. Played it a ton. Same with Metroid 2. I can bust one of those games out in like an hour and a half tops. Super Metroid isn’t all that different. I don’t think I’ve ever beat that game as it was intended to be completed. I probably wouldn’t even know how at this point.
This game I’ve played through, maybe, 3 times before this LP so I’m pretty much worthless. All I’ve got going for me is lightning fast reflex (but with a bum leg), and the fact that this game isn’t really all that challenging.
Oh and how about all those times we ran into the sax while it was hunting us? Maybe 3 times? Maybe 4? Such a threat.
