Banjo Kazooie was irksome at times, tedious in others, but good for the most part. No idea about the second game, and I don't really care at all about the racing spinoff.
Meanwhile in AM2R...you know, this is the first time in quite a while that I yelled "Holy shit!" while playing a game. Nope, no actual metroids involved. Not even really a jumpscare, which in most games makes me startled a bit before provoking snark. Nope, I drop into a room...full of those floating projectile-hell bomb things. Which kinda fucking hurt because of how many projectiles they give off, and made worse by the fact their shots can set more off.
So I narrowly miss grazing a few which probably would've been gloriously laggy, and likely killed the everloving shit out of me.
EDIT: I just decided to go test the danmaku room. That is SEVEN ENERGY TANKS worth of "go fuck yourself" if you graze one of them.
