Welcome to Gaia! ::

I agree. I watch everything by RoosterTeeth, except Red vs. Blue. Haven't gotten into that yet. Just thought I'd share the New Super Mario Bros. U video since this is the Nintendo Cult! biggrin

A Zelda II remake would be cool.
...Eventually they're gonna get to the point where they've remade every Zelda game (except Majora for the 3DS because they hate me. crying )

You nerds should buy Orcs Must Die 2. The base game is only 4 dollars on Steam. I recommend it, and I will play it with you.

Holy s**t it is 3AM. Well, you have until like 4PM PST. It will probably not be much cheaper than this like ever, but it will probably be exactly this cheap again the next time it goes on sale.

Oh, yeah. Good point.
Adventure Time was fun.

We should jam some time.

I cannot hear out of my left ear. This makes hearing difficult.

Yeah... Adventure Time was super fun compared to Zelda II.

I've been guilting myself about not having played much of or beaten a lot of NES classics that people claim are still worth playing today, like that, Metroid, Castlevania (3), Battletoads, Ghosts n Goblins, Double Dragon and Contra and even for not going the distance and beating Tyson/Mr. Dream. But at the same time... these games are just getting shittier and shittier by today's standards. It's like the only reason to play a lot of them is to be able to brag that you beat something so hard.
That's not the case with all NES games. Like, Ninja Gaiden for example was really hard but I actually enjoyed PLAYING it, which isn't the case for a lot of NES games beyond a few minutes. A lot of NES games wouldn't necessarily be shitty by NES standards, but by today's standards, they would be, and they'd be just way too hard and/or tedious to be fun.
Then you have games like SMB3, Mega Mans, Snow Bros. and Kirby which were just so good in every way that they are actually more fun to play than a lot of newer games.
The NES should be adored for what it did for gaming. It improved vastly upon the options that were available before (I have no interest in trying any games pre-NES whatsoever). A lot of games were pioneers. A lot of fresh new ideas that weren't possible before, happened on the NES. Also, the graphical limitations and especially the musical limitations created something very charming (8-bit!). But outside of a few stellar games I just can't see the point in playing a lot of those old games much, outside of experiencing history or whatever. Even Earthbound Zero, which was one of my favorite games probably, may have had a story, soundtrack and graphics that surpassed most NES games', and it may have been the best RPG on the console, but it's just unplayable today because of how ridiculous the random encounters are. I played an easy hack of it and still had to use the x2 speed on my emulator, a lot. But it was really interesting to experience such an ancient RPG in its entirety for the first time. It felt kinda like getting to take a time machine and visit a time past. It made me nostalgic for something I was experiencing for the first time. Everything but the gameplay really was what made it worth it.
But yeah, the NES simultaneously owns and sucks. There aren't a ton of games left that I legitimately still want to beat even though I haven't beaten a ton of "classics".
