I have shown nobody my Nintendo handheld shelf.


I have all my GB/GBC stored in 3DS cases because the old gameboy games fit perfectly in there while the GBA games fit into the regular DS cases.

I just throw all my DS games into a box made for trading cards and they just kinda sit in their loose and bounce around but it's worked for me for years

Don't buy bullshit games you never intend on playing just because they're cheap, and if you're that much of a variety gamer then just get a flashcart instead

Counterpoint: The Xbox One is the new Colecovision, which was the console that caused the great video game crash by having the wrong kind of RAM and making every game you put in it just play E.T.

Tomorrow is my birthday so I need to figure out what to buy myself as a gift. I'm stuck between Dragon Ball: Xenoverse or forking out extra and getting a N3DS. I haven't owned a DS since 2009 so I've missed lots of games on it.

I'm buying Bloodbourne regardless.

Uh, I think you're misremembering. It was Thomas Atari himself who buried E.T. in the desert to try and end the curse, but it was too late, the virus had already spread.

I dunno I bought both Atari Collections and the one Intellivision collection for the PS2 and I was less than pleased.

they all felt like bad NES games.

before the NES we were a Magnavox family, I never played an atari or a colecovision.

I personally liked the vectrex because it was so weird and had a starwar Death Star game (or off brand).

I mean most games before the NES won't hold up and really only SNES games kinda do.

Yeah anything prior to the 16 bit era plays in an incredibly dated way.

I only have around 30 NES games and I really have not been all that interested in expanding my collection because most of the games just are not worth playing. The collector's market also has everything be way up there in price. I wanted to get both NES Zeldas and Final Fantasy just for completions sake but they were commanding higher prices than the Limited Edition gamecube Zelda collection that I already had, and Final Fantasy was more expensive than the PSX re-release.

So I wasn't going to pay far more than i was expecting for games I already own in some form.

Eh there's old games that are better than newer ones, like The Legend of Zelda and ALTTP are still better than pretty much every Zelda game that followed because instead of being up their own asses with bad story and tutorial garbage they're actual games you're meant to play and even occasionally die in

Old games are still good and good things do not "age badly" except in very exceptional and specific ways.

Good games still come out today but so do a lot of garbage games. I would be very sad if all I could play was new games because even the good ones tend to be bad in a lot of ways compared to old games. But I am not sad, because I still have old games, and my brain isn't garbage and broken so I still discover ones that passed me by and love them all the time even fi they are not as cinematic and majestic as The Order: 1886. I started playing Quest for Glory last week and it's really good :)

Yeah there have always been a bunch of bad games that just find new and exciting ways to be bad, and always new good games. Such as 2015 GOTY Bloodborne

I dunno there's poo poo like Phantasy Star's first person dungeon that contains no map or anyway to record such a map in game. The Early Ultima games really don't stand out anymore as well, and the first three final fantasies are not as good as the ones that came later on in the series.


They're incredibly dated at this point because the mechanics were refined by later games.

The question is, are we in the Silver Age of gaming, or more like... the Bronze era? Cuz gaming culture was a lot more interesting like 20 years ago, these days it kinda sucks and most people now think gamers are insane terrorists, thanks Dick Wolf.
