Fun Viewtiful Joe story: Got the game in my first year of college (when it came out). Preordered to get the bobblehead at Gamestop and of course, they ran out of them and I never got one. Brought the game back to my dorm and popped it in.
Not sure if anyone remembers this, but when Clover first started talking about the game they said that the difficulty levels in the game were going to be a bit misleading. Kids was supposed to be the hard mode and Adults was to be easy, namely because kids played games more often and would be better at them.
So needless to say, I figured I'd start with what I thought was the easy mode (Adults) and absolutely got my ass handed to me. I though the game was just really hard, so I pushed through it and managed to get all the way to the lion boss fight (who I think starts the boss gauntlet). He was a major pain in my ass and I kept losing.
So, for about a week straight, I left my GameCube on in my room and managed to eventually best that bastard in between classes. Went on to beat the game, which felt like one of the toughest things ever at the time.
Good times.
