I have an actual NES and SNES, but your gramps ain't gonna know the difference.

Just finished the end of Disc 1 of PE2. It's cool thinking about how people would have huge climatic battles because they were disc transitions.

There are no "bad" video games. There are two categories of games: games that are Symphony of the Night and games that are not Symphony of the Night

The latter is definitely the one that'll make more money in the long run. It was clear from the start that the whole point of the thing was to help pay the bills for those low earning months before the switch came out. It fulfilled its capitalist purpose.

Harrow posted:It was the least exciting of the console generations during which I was actually playing games, I guess. I suppose I can't really compare it to pre-NES stuff because I wasn't playing games yet so I don't really have any experience there. This is ridculous, the PS3/360 generation is when online multiplayer and digital downloads became mainstream on consoles, and when indie / smaller developers were able to break into the console space. (I don't know that the Wii can rightly be counted in this though, because Nintendo was/is so hilariously far behind in online implementation.) If you can't think of like a dozen games just offhand that you enjoyed and you owned at least one of those consoles then there's something wrong with you.

ehh NES games are really limited by the hardware even the good ones haven't aged so well, it's prob the one emulator I don't ever go back to. It doesn't help that the first party titles have mostly gotten updated or revised releases on other consoles. Mega Man is good but Mega Man X is where it's at
