Also worth noting that the higher unlockable difficulties (Hard and Super Hard) are not just simple damage multipliers, but actually offer significant level design changes; as the locations of the chests are shuffled around.  They're almost like remixes of the main game, well worth a repeat playthrough or two!

Don't forget the time limits! Super Hard's escape sequences are actually insane!

Roses are red, garlic is white, Wario Land 4 is available on NSO now you little shite. 

I wasn't exactly in love with the game when I played it on 3DS a number of years ago so my rhyme would have used very similar words but perhaps a different sentiment 😅

I'm not sure if I'll play it again on Switch to see if I enjoy it more now or leave it be. I can't really remember anything about it!

A game I did just finish again for the first time since the N64 days is Ridge Racer 64!

It's a game I enjoyed back then and was delighted to see it come to NSO 🙂

It starts out pretty well and ramps up to an exhilarating level.. and then it ramps up even further to irritation and frustration!

The game starts out slowly in comparison to what is to come so there isn't any great pace or necessity to string a long drift around successive corners. Eventually that comes and the decisions between properly braking around some corners and crazily drifting around others makes for an exciting and fun game.

Unfortunately, the game goes beyond this point where I find the cars become too fast and sections of most tracks become too much of a pain to navigate due to how tight and windy they can be. Even some simple corners require you to drop your velocity and drift around at a slower pace than what is ideal, leaving you open to be overtaken.

Once you're overtaken, get ready to become frustrated when you clip the back of the car in front and be overtaken by one or two more!

Anyway, it's still a fun game and I enjoyed revisiting it but I made use of save points at times to reduce some of the frustration late on. Can barely believe I managed some of it at the start of the millennium 🥲
