I never completed the NES one but the SNES one stands up alone just fine, you’re not gonna miss much of anything in terms of like a critical overarching plot.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
Have bounced off it a few times before, but Mother 1 with rewind is hitting the sweet spot of being fun. don't mind grinding out some levels at the zoo while I'm watching other stuff, can rewind if I get wiped out by a bad encounter. the size of the world map in this game is really impressive for NES


thanks nintendo

this is how I felt after putting about 2 hours into the game a couple years ago and never felt compelled to go back to it.

its a game that needs a guide or youll always be lost, and it has all the other bad jrpg tropes like too many encounters+grinding etc. not great

Maybe they need to consider doing one of those 'special edition' things with Mother 1 and like let you start at max level and money or whatever.

the one where you fire missiles faster by canceling with regular shots? i don't know why you wouldn't do it, it's not like firing missiles slower adds an interesting challenge

The games high health enemies are kind of boring anyway. it feels good to go fast in Metroid, So I say no rules
