Is really super meat boy "niche" anymore, lol.
Yes. It was a big fish in a small pond when it came out, compared to where indies were at back then. And where indies were back then was a niche. I'd say it's largely been forgotten compared to the most popular indie hits today.
Not really, all games age. But niche games also exist, it's not fair to them to classify a classic as niche when stuff like shadowveil exists
Also: in the context of this meme, it will put my son out of touch with his generation. None of his peers are going to have heard of this.
today it's probably less niche than the n64.
A real hidden gem
