dreamcast had a soft reset built into the controllers. no need for a physical reset. this way you could get to the main menu without having to get up and reboot. 4 buttons + LR

TG16 also had a soft reset built in. and i accidentally did it all the time.Run + Select

Thing is he only has to defeat you twice. His win counter does NOT reset when he goes to the second form. The fact that he is also a very cheap/difficult boss doesn't help....
I'm forgiving of this since the Kikaioh theme blaring during that fight is freaking awesome.

Anyway...

Metroid Prime would've been perfect without the artifact key hunt artificially extending things.

I actually liked that, it gave them a cinematic feel. It was only a real problem in MGS3, and they fixed it in the Subsistence version.

- Weapon charging in Secret of Mana.
- Lack of classic controller support in Donkey Kong Country Returns.
- Unnecessary Wiimote minigames in Tales of Symphonia 2 (and many other Wii games for that matter).
- The leveling system in Final Fantasy II.
- THE GOD DAMN EAGLES. I don't even have to mention the game, you know what I'm talking about.

LMAO! Yep, those things killed me more than anything else in that game. The hawk/eagle things in the original TMNT were very similar, luckily the platforming wasn't as intense.
