I was just wondering what everyone thinks about the difficulty of GCN games. I really liked WW, but in the end it was just too easy. Its still a great game, but I never died once and only had one fairy pop out once in the final fight versus Ganon.
Metroid Prime was pretty tough the first time through, and I just recently went back and completed it on hard mode. The Omega Pirate was killing me for a while, but I finally got past him and breazed through the rest of the game.
Now the rest of my GCN lineup are all too easy, they are great games, and very fun, but just not challenging. Leaving out party games like SSBM and Mario Party 4 I have SMS, Star Fox, Pikmin plus a few others and the difficulty is a joke. And Nintendo wants to make them easier? I really dont know how they could be easier, unless they make your character invincible, or better yet just have a menu when you start the game that lets you just select the ending you want, and your done, no need to play at all.
If the games need to be easier for more people to complete/enjoy, fine, but why cant there just be difficulty settings like in MP for every game.
1) Normal
2) Hard
3) Extreme
4) ...
This way you could set SMS to the highest difficulty and lets say two hits would kill you, that would make it a lot more gratifying when you finally beat the game.
Maybe its just me, but when I beat MP and hard I was like "Yes, finally" and when I beat WW I was like "Well, Ok, so what form is Ganon going to change into when he breaks out of his stone form??? .... Oh the game is over??? @#$@"
