    The original is incredibly fun and charming, highly recommend. Probably on emulator since it's stuck on Gamecube in NA.

      You're talking to someone who is 5 feet away from a wii rn and kept my GameCube controllers lo these many years. I'm guessing the game itself costs a bundle tho.

        It does seem to be pretty expensive yeah, unfortunately. 100-200 dollar minimum looks like.

          Holy shit, I had no idea. I lent my CIB copy to a friend ages ago and it languished somewhere in their house for years before they finally gave it back to me recently. Glad it didn't go the way of my original copy of Melee along with my memory card that had all of my saves on it...still hurts.

              Nice! I'm definitely going to play it again soon--thanks for reminding me about it (and I'll also keep an eye on this new project, of course). Honestly, I'll probably just emulate it for convenience's sake, but I'll definitely flip through the manual for that hit of nostalgia. Also, as much as I loved it as a kid I don't think I actually beat it, so it'll be nice to give it a proper full playthrough.

                The final acts and ending of the game are fantastic, with the latter likely going to make you cry.

        It is! It was different due to tech constraints, but it was fun restoring a ruined park.
