Why does Nintendo suck now?

>>10890018
because their games are now too easy

>>10890018
Because you're incapable of critical thinking on your own

>>10889945
mario 64 is easier

>>10890062
true, which is why it has always been overrated

I played this as a kid and I don't remember it being hard, like at all.

>>10889925
Well if you think that's bad don't ever play SMB2J or the 2-hit Japanese version of SMB3. Especially without warp whistles...

It's a complete myth that children are bad at games, unless they're literal toddlers. I beat Battletoads at a young age with younger reflexes. You see more old people demanding easier, more casual games than young people.

Thats true also you have way more time to kill as a kid. I think at most I would get 2 new games per year. Even it if was a shitty game I would force myself to play it.

while i don't doubt that it's difficult in some areas, i think it comes down to 2 main points: the physics and the removal of optional missions
the physics, (saying this as someone who likes the game) are a bit janky, not terrible, but janky. mario shooting off like a rocket doesn't help, and fludd is all but required for any precise platforming.
this is also added to the fact that if a mission was hard, you couldn't skip it like 64. you need the 7th shine from each level to beat the game. which means you have to do all the hard stuff eventually, meaning everyone who beat it went through relatively the same stuff, as opposed to 64, where you could have one playthrough with only easy stars, and one with hard, and have a different view of the game's difficulty at the end

the only semi-hard portion of this game are some of the pianta village missions and corona mountain, but if you struggle with the rest you just suck at games
