Save State Accessibility

Speaking as broadly as possible, it’s probably safe to say that video games are slightly easier now than they were 30 years ago. Of course, that’s not the case for every video game – plenty of modern ones ramp up the difficulty on purpose. But when it comes to some of Nintendo’s greats – specifically in the Zelda and Metroid franchises – the older entries are absolutely more punishing, in most cases. Many of these older entries are currently available on Nintendo Switch Online (or its Expansion Pack), which allow save states and in some cases, rewinding time to correct mistakes you make in the game.

Today, we’re talking about which Nintendo Switch Online games benefit most from save states and rewinding for classic Nintendo platforms. Do you like using save states and rewind for a more casual play experience, or do you prefer playing these classic games as they were intended?
