True.

Metroid II, on the gb, has saves on it but it's old school hard due to lack of saves and controls.

majora's mask bag came i today

it's shit

i foolishly expected the design to be embroidered into the bag, instead it's just a glitter stencil that's guaranteed to erode away within a few months should it ever see any actual use

it's a perfect embodiment of some of the most prominent and most destructive recurring elements of modern nintendo's design philosophy - be as cheap as possible, be as lazy as possible, and capitalize on nostalgia whenever you can

truly the most befitting ending to club nintendo i could have ever imagined

guess i'll stuff it in my closet and bury it along with all the rest of the disappointing memories club nintendo has produced over the years lol
