    I know this is a sarcastic troll post but some QoL improvements can actually help old bad games. Like Save States.

    And yes, Super Mario Bros was always bad. I never understood how it got so popular, even when I was a kid in the early 90’s.

      Was gonna upvote after the first part but downvote after the second, so I’ll leave it as an even “no vote but here’s this comment.”

      I don’t think it’s fair to say Super Mario Bros. was always bad. People played the heck out of it when it released. One could argue that’s because it was bundled with the system, but I believe the consensus is that it is considered one of the best games of its time. It’s probably one of the top 3 NES games still played today. It is legendary.

      It was the best game i had. The bar wasn’t high but it still was the best. Too bad I was a kid so I never really got past 1-3. Also at the time I didn’t speak English (nor did my parents).

      Save states are OP. I like the Celeste approach you go back to tag section and each section was its own challage. It doesn’t waste any time because you are not beating any challenges you have already beaten
