I was a bit too young to fully experience the NES, I was born in 85. But, I still have fond memories.. although they are a bit hazy. The best thing I remember is seeing the leap to SNES. I loved the SNES so much.
Quite disappointing Mercury will only be PvP. Ah well I see myself waiting a year or more before getting the game so I don't have to deal with buying 20 separate DLCs.
