I keep forgetting how awful Zelda II is. Today I was reminded.
You are wrong. I've been playing Zelda II since downloading it. It has brought back many memories for me. I put many hours into this game as a kid, and it still holds up as a solid game. It may be poorly translated in places, but that only adds to it's charm in my opinion. I'm already up to the town where you get the upward thrust attack, and as soon as I get time to play I'll be going after the boots so I can walk on water.
The game is classic, and one of the best ones included. I am positive I've put more total hours into playing and re-playing Zelda II over the years than any of the newer ones (except maybe a link to the past) I'm pretty happy with their choices overall. Although I've played most of them it's been years for some and it's nice to revisit classic games every once in a while.
However I don't think this makes up for the inflated price I paid for the system.
I also was under the impression that we would be able to fill out post play surveys on the club nintendo thing, but I can't find anywhere to do that. (Yes my 3DS is linked). One NES game I wish was included though is Star Tropics... but I digress. My point is that Zelda II is a great title, and for me it's up there as one of the best Zelda's ever.
