JFG was great... except for the stupid collection quest of those guys at the end... classic Rare collect-a-thon stuff there. You know, one of the best things about Rayman 2 was that it didn't copy Mario 64 in changing the platformer into a run-around-do-missions-and-collect-stuff genre... why, exactly, did shooters need annoying REQUIRED collection like that? Tedious...
As for Metroid, those aren't quite as bad, since most of the stuff you can go find that's really hard to find in those games is optional, and as for the required stuff, you're going to have to find that stuff anyway... and you do it spread across the whole game, not just at the end. For the most part.
Anyway... my cousins were here for Thanksgiving, so I spent the past two days playing Super Mario World. My cousin and I started a new file Friday afternoon/evening, and had all 96 exits before 11pm Saturday... :) We played other stuff too, but that one the most by far.
