Zelda II is the coolest game to beat, but only because hardly anyone has done so. Once you beat it you feel like you can do anything. It is actually not a bad game, as far as NES games go I would rate it very highly. I think the reason most people do not like it is because it is so hard and they can't get anywhere. It is not until further into the game and start learning spells that it becomes really fun. Super Mario Bros. 2 was once one of my favorite games. It is another one that it seems like very few people play all the way through. Compared to the other Mario games it is a nice change of pace (mostly because it was not originally a Mario game).

I beat Minish Cap on Saturday. I couldn't believe it was so short. I thought it would be like Link's Awakening and throw another chunk of dungeons at me after I beat the first four. Instead it ended up only have five dungeon and then the final. The fight with Vaati at the end was very stupid, he doesn't even try to kill you I beat him the last two times with less than half my hearts and on my first try. Over all the game was really fun, but too easy and too short. I really enjoyed the graphics, really reminded me of the good ol' SNES days. I think it is a good starter game for introducing a younger generation to the series.
