Rather than not show ones you missed, they could just show them all as a fun thing to keep you entertained during the credits without pausing the game constantly.

Nope, there is no point at all. If they were going to just save the pictures for the credits, they could have done that without having the guy interrupt your game all the time. Lots of games have artwork or something else to entertain you during the credits without interrupting your game while you're trying to play. Another Zelda example, the two Oracle games have nice little pixel art pictures during the credits without having some random a-hole drop in from the sky and stop you playing the game.

I had my health up for Ness and Paula (Isaac had gotten taken out earlier by a cheap SMASH from an enemy). But the explodey guy got off a spell before I killed him that knocked Ness down a bit (I thought he would be safe but apparently not) and Paula down to 1 HP. But nope, Ness was not fine and got knocked out. Then it proclaimed "YOU WON!" and then proceeded to lock me in the screen I posted on Miiverse. I was saving regularly so I wouldn't have to replay too much to get back to where I was, but I wasn't having much fun with the game anyway. This was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

And yes, I have been avoiding slingshots and yo-yos. It doesn't seem to matter though, as every time I see someone else complain about the inaccuracy, somebody else throws up another weapon as having poor accuracy. So far I've been told no slingshots, no yo-yos, no casey bat, no PK Thunder... At this point if I was still playing I would say use whatever you want because everything is equally inaccurate. Every bat, every frying pan, and every gun has been just as inaccurate as the ones people say to avoid.

As for the humor, I liked it at first. But then as I kept playing, I just saw the same jokes repeated over and over again. Oh hey somebody farted again. Oh hey that person was completely rude to me out of nowhere again. I suppose if I played it as a kid I would have found it funny due to being a kid and due to not getting to play as much of it per sitting, but as an adult it's just like okay, I'm seeing the same jokes multiple times per play session and it's getting stale quick.

And that too becomes my problem with the dad calling. It doesn't matter how I save, he's going to call because I tend to just sit down and play one game for an hour or two and that will be the game I play that day (at least during weekdays anyway). So if I sit down for some Earthbound, no matter what I do, that turd is going to interrupt my game to say "HEY YOU'VE BEEN PLAYING A WHILE YOU SHOULD TAKE A BREAK!" Screw you dad, I'll take a break later when my gaming session is over and I want supper!

I was raging pretty hard at the picture guy because I got into a string of him popping up every 10 minutes or so. The picture guy was cool link Link's Awakening DX because he didn't show up often AND you got to see the cool pixel art picture. But here, he just shows up frequently and then just leaves. I don't even get to see the picture for the inconvenience. WTF?
