Metroid II- Got it when I was very young and really not good enough to navigate the game especially since this one had no map. Tried it again when I was much older and wound up loving it.

Kid Icarus- Just took me a while to get into the gameplay. It's kind of weird with some Megamanish platforming and some Metroidish elements. The controls also feel a bit dated considering I played it in 2010 or so.

Xenoblade Chronicles X- I was expecting it to be more like Chronicles 1 and wasn't expecting the pseudo MMO gameplay. But it got me eventually. Actually think it was kind of influential on BOTW in some ways.

Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts- Like most people I hated the game on principal when it came out. I only wound up playing it when it was down to 10 bucks or so later on. Even then, it took me a while to get on board with the weird physics. But eventually, I came to love it.

Smash Bros Melee- Well, sort of. Kirby was my main in Smash 64, and he is just so terrible in Melee. Once I switched characters and stopped getting destroyed, wound up liking it much more.

Street Fighter 3- Taking out all of the characters except Ryu and Ken was an interesting choice. I didn't quite hate this game, but I just preferred the Alpha series with all the characters I was familiar with. Didn't really get into Street Fighter 3 till the anniversary collection way later.

Kirby's Dreamland 3- I never hated this one, but after Kirby Superstar, this felt like a huge step back. And, yeah it kind of is, but eventually I learned to like it on its own merits.
