About those Starfox Adventures "impossible challenges": I thought the escort mission was challenging, but not too challenging. I've also discussed the matter of the Test of Strength before... How is it that everybody hates the Test of Strength and few found the Test of Fear challenging, again?

Bafomdads give you continues. They're just a really goofy way of doing it.

So in someone else's opinion, it might not be among your favorite 5 games?

Yes exactly.

I found none of the so-called "impossible challenges" impossible. Especially the Light Foot test of strength. I don't know what everyone's problem is with that one, because I beat it after about 3 tries.

The Test of Fear was challenging, but I learned to stop paying attention to the screen and focused solely on the bar at the top. Plus, I made very small movements on the control stick, which seemed to help. Still, near the end the meter thing shoved all the way to the left and was a hair's length away from going off the edge. I felt like I was pushing against some heavy weight to push the meter back to the middle, considering the meter was shaking like mad at that time.

Thanks to YouTube, I can now see what I missed this whole time. And I say that every single time the Test of Fear comes up, because I keep thinking the Test of Fear was memorable for the visuals that went on (something about seeing the fear in Fox's face... or, no, wait, I bet that was with the T-Rex fight).

I hated the Test of Strength because I'm not a fast button tapper. It takes me a few tries to get into the zone where my finger twitches rapidly enough (and I nearly kill my finger in the process) in order to do it. Had to do that focusing to unlock the secret battle stages in Bomberman 64 without getting all the gold cards. Had to unfortunately repeat that trick here. Someone suggested some tape and something else to rapidly tap the button for you, a way of cheating, but at face value that technique looked ridiculous. Never tried it.

I always used my index finger.

Up through Perfect Dark, Rare developed brilliant and fantastic games, on equal footing with the best stuff Nintendo was putting out (DKC vs. SMW, DKR vs. MK64, BK vs. SM64, etc.).

Then Rare turned mediocre and has since put out okay and sorta good games. Star Fox Adventures was the first of these games.

Blame Microsoft if you want, but I'm not totally sure it's their fault.

I can think of games a lot more satisfying than those made by Rare. In fact, many Rare games I don't find very fun at all, and Majora's Mask is the lesser of all 3D Zelda titles.

I used to not like Majora's Mask as much as the other Zeldas, but I've actually come to adore it without even replaying it that much just because it's so dang creative.

Also, those SFA impressions are from when I played it when I was, like, twelve, so they may not be the most accurate... You know what, nevermind, they are (but it was still an okay game).

If only it were real. :(
Some VB games are gonna run me up so much money in the future.
It'd be nice to play the super rare ones via VC.

What games? Water World? That's the only American one that goes for more than like $15.

Yeah, everybody proposes these crazy methods involving waving your thumb joints or spoons or sticks or rubber bands over the button a certain way, but they never helped me beat the third Canary Mary race in Banjo-Tooie. At least the fourth race has some strategy to it, but my brother only beat the third race once on some sort of fluke. That'll probably be our only 100% file for that game. There should be a law or something against button-mashing challenges.
