Ah brilliant, really glad you enjoyed it! I was a little worried it might suffer a bit since you played it *right* after the 3 Ueda games.
And yeah, quite unexpectedly emotional come the end eh!

Good aren’t they! I love the first two.
There are some more free ones on the My Nintendo website too. You have to log in and redeem them though.

Glad to hear it! It’s the same for me too. I definitely played multiplayer N64 games waaaaay more than any other console.
It helped that I was 12-15ish years old during the N64 days so had plenty of time on my hands!

Absolutely. I’d say the majority of my best gaming memories involve the N64 🥲

It’s still the console that means the absolute most to me.
(Lovely collection you have there by the way 👏)

Oh I bet! I’d love to write something about it at some point. Not least the fact that it’s one of very few games that not only doesn’t age, but actually seems to get *more* impressive the older it gets! Haha

That’s exactly it. The game just *feels* so good to play.
It’s nearly 30 years old and I don’t think anything has matched the way it depicts the feeling of interacting on and with water. Not even its own sequel!

Yeah I enjoyed it. Pretty simple overall but it controls really nicely and that music *really* elevates the whole experience

Haha, definitely. I haven’t actually played it since the N64 days so I should really play it again sometime. As I mentioned I really enjoyed it at the time

It’s brilliant, isn’t it. After all this time the gameplay (and water!) simply never dates.
