I cannot possibly see Bubble Booble’s single, 30-second piece of music played on constant repeat getting annoying down the line. #NESClassicMini

Ninja Gaiden starts off fun, but the later levels get really frustrating. It does the 80’s platformer thing where taking damage knocks you back and then you take more damage and/or fall to your doom. #NESClassicMini

It has become quite apparent that I have no idea what I’m supposed to be doing or where I’m supposed to be going in Castlevania II. #NESClassicMini

*Starts Quick Man’s level on Mega Man 2*
“These extra lives are kind of easy to get, why are they being so generous?”
*Proceeds slightly further*
“Oh, right.”

Go away, disappearing platform bits in Mega Man games, no one likes you. #NESClassicMini

I had completely forgotten about the space station in Final Fantasy I. #NESClassicMini

Screw you, enemies with instakill attacks. #NESClassicMini

Narrowly escaped from the Final Fantasy fire dundeon with all but one party members dead and no healing potions. #NESClassicMini

The Earth Cave in Final Fantasy I is kind of padded out:

1) Go down 3 floors, fight boss.
2) Walk back up those three floors, go to another cave.
3) Go back to the Earth Cave, do the same 3 floors again.
4) Two new floors, boss.
5) Walk back up all five floors.

Final Fantasy I has no resurrection items. If someone dies you either have to return to a town or use a high-level, late-game spell that only two classes can learn. #NESClassicMini

The Thief from Final Fantasy I can’t steal things. Godsdamnit, you had one job. #NESClassicMini

Switched back to using the SNES pad for #NESClassicMini. The angular pads get uncomfortable after a while.

Super Mario Bros. World 5-3 is just World 1-3 with Bullet Bills. I’m onto you, Miyamoto. #NESClassicMini

Entering the final final dungeon of Zelda. #NESClassicMini

I died four times in the first quest of NES Zelda. So far I have died five times in dungeon 1 of the second quest. #NESClassicMini

I love the fact that NES Zelda features a “magic” key, the sole magic property of which is that it doesn’t instantly vanish the second you use it. #NESClassicMini

I have no idea what is going on in Tecmo Bowl. #NESClassicMini

The movement in Startropics is weird. When you turn around Mike spends about half a second in a walking animation but not actually moving, like Scooby Doo trying to run from a monster. #NESClassicMini

I hate how modern games start with these hand-holding tutorials. #NESClassicMini

The maps in NES Metroid are built up from a set of screens that are reused. This is most noticeable when you find one half of a secret passage. #NESClassicMini

Games from this era frequently look a bit clunky from a modern viewpoint, but Final Fantasy’s total lack of stats on its weapons and armour is still a weird omission. #NESClassicMini

My first attempt at Super Mario Bros. was going OK until I fell into the same hole on world 6-3 three times. #NESClassicMini
