At one point every time I did a new run of Backpack hero I could find some new absurdly broken item combo. It’s fun.

Oh, there’s that weird puzzle game. I checked it out some time ago because it has a spirit in Smash.

Now that I think about it, even going back to melee, Smash Bros is probably how I learned about half of Nintendo’s licences. Certainly smaller stuff like Panel de Pon, and even bigger IPs like Fire Emblem. I mean, since the first officially localized Fire Emblem was well after Melee release it makes sense. Maybe even Mother, can’t remember if I’d tried Earthbound before Smash 64.

Look, I was born in the 80s, I played Morrowind about the time it was released (closer to GOTY edition, but whatever), but even I have to kinda agree with your niece at this point.

Though its gameplay and world-building certainly aged better than Oblivion’s.
