Now it's no surprise we all love old video games. We replay them for entertainment, enjoyment, and experience. A big reason for many is to relive those moments when you were a kid coming home from school running to play your NES, N64 or even as far back as hanging out in the arcades
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
I love old games too
InvisableLuigi makes a valid point when he states "Back then, the games didn’t tell you where to go or how to solve a puzzle if you were stuck. You had to figure it out on your own or just give up."
After I started downloading my favorite VC titles to my wii back in March I noticed something: those games are harder now than when I was in grade school. I cannot say for a fact that retro games were more challenging than current games, but it could be one heck of a scholarly journal entry. ;)
yeah games were harder back then and in many games we didnt had a save option. I still remember playing a game for 4 hours straigth just to start from the beginning... that really pissed me off
I remember playing Mike Tyson punch out! when i was like 8 or 7 too me 4 hours to get to him. Now it takes like 18mins. w/o password. Big Diffrences now but OLd School just had that quarky spunk to it! Well I'm off to playing Super Mario Brothers 3 again!
the first game i ever played was Dragon Warrior 1 :)
because it bring back old mr... or remember
