Why do they have to be so hard?! I played Sonic 1 for the Genesis, can't get past level 2. I played Sonic 2, again, can't get past level 2. That's why I'm excited about the Didj. Maybe I can get past level 2 in the Didj Sonic game, if only because I know my multiplication tables. Also, that's why I'm making Asses of Fire. The platform game has been neglected for way too long on the 2600. That's why I tried with the unsuccessful attempt of Super Maria Sisters a few years back. I want a platform game on the 2600 that is not Pitfall. Pitfall 2 is too hard. Heck, Pitfall 1 is too hard, with the alligator head standing on screens. I *always* mess up on them. The only games I'm good at are Mario Kart and puzzle games. The only platformers I have ever beaten are Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, 3, Super Mario World, Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Story. But by the time they got to the GBA, Nintendo said, Let's make Yoshi harder. Out came Yoshi Topsy Turvy, which I can't beat. And yet I've gotten everything in Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart DS, the two best Mario Kart games to date. Also, why is the Wii so hard to come by? I'd buy one, that is, if a store had any. Sure I would. I'd also get a copy of Excitetruck and the upcoming Mario Kart. I just walked right into the store and bought a GBA and DS when they came out, why wasn't it the same with the Wii? But, since I can't find one, I guess I'll have to buy one used about five years from now. Then I can finally play Super Mario Galaxy. Stupid Nintendo, Stupid Sega. If only Atari had made a current-gen system. That would've been too sweet.
