My major gripe is no Tetris and eventually I will want other games I cant think of. but this will be a great novelty purchase (Yes Im aware of emulators, no Im not a geek on that level

when you beat the guy at the end of the board, you get his powers? anyhow, I'm probably purchasing this.

Whats funny is when the first one came out I looked at the game screens like -- meehhhh, but then I met a dude who had it and we traded games (as you did back then) and man that shit was awesome. Damn near fell in love with it.

Plus the original Mega Man was next-level hard as shit the first time you played it. I got my ass handed to me in the opening of Cutsman level the first time I played it.

Megaman 2 was annoying, but 3 kept me going for a minute (IIRC it's the longest of the 6 NES Megaman games). I ran through 2 in a bit over a week, but 3 took me around 2 or 3 weeks to finish it mainly because you get stuck having to beat all of the MM2 bosses and having to figure out which MM3 weapons work best on them.

After MM3, the rest of them felt easy as shit.

all those MM games were hard, in general, because you needed an actual skillset to beat them. MM3 was longer, but 2 was murderous if you didn't have any sort of strategy guides to work with.

I never owned part two I had to rent it. So I never beat it untill years later when the collection dropped on ps2. Own 3 it was fun but ran through that one the last boss was super easy

i was like 7 when Kirby's Adventure came out and it took me a year to 100% it

now i can do that shit in 45 minutes

granted those are two different games, but the point is the same. how long it takes you to beat doesn't denote difficulty.

I've been buying the dope games I wanted as a kid on 3DS.

I'm curious. And don't dump any of the basic games either, those have an audience.

Folks about to have their feelings hurt remembering how hard it is to beat old games.

your reflexes are garbage now because you're over 30, game design was much more unforgiving then than it is now (still pulling a lot from quarter-munching arcade game design), there were no in-game tutorials, limited continues, complicated code input methods (castlevania, river city ransom)

folks are about to get checked HARD

>your reflexes are garbage now because you're over 30

My relaxation time involves a 5-10 game run of Robotron 2048 on MAME. I'm disappointed if I don't get to level 20 at a minimum.

My 72 year old stepfather can run you on TRON, Dig Dug, Centipede, and a whole slew of old-school arcade joints.

Y'all just stopped playing, that's why your reflexes are garbage.

Streets of Rage 2, that my grandma probably paid $600 from Fingerhut.

Ninja Gaiden will kick your ass and laugh at you.

Folks must have forgot.

These games were hard. There was no "Press X to win" or the game guiding you through it the entire time with infinite respawns. Most of the kids back then never really beat all these games.

I'd like for the younger generation to give these a shot.

From what I remember, the PS2/Xbox or PS3/Xbox 360 versions of Ninja Gaiden were pretty difficult as well.

I never beat NG Black. When I beat NG2, it was more of a "Fuck you, nigga" feeling than a sigh of relief.

Look, I've had all of my kids playing old NES games thanks to emulation from my 22 year old down to my 12 year old. They can kick it like someone that grew up with it when it was new.

Thankfully I never stopped playing. Shit, the only reason I don't have my NES, TG16, or Genesis is because I sold them to help finance our move from Detroit to PHX back in '03. Even with that, I've never stopped playing them old games.

Blaster Master, however, is the ONE game I refuse to use NES emulator save states with until the day comes that I sit down at it and run it from start to finish.

27 years playing one fuckin game and I die in almost the same spot every... fuckin... time.

I just saw METROID!!!! Mother Brain....we comin for yooooooou, nigga (c)

I appreciate Balloon Fight though, that is a great game that could have been easily overlooked.

I never got into Kid Icarus but that's being nitpicky I guess. Clearly the game was pretty popular. Right?

i feel like those were 3 games i never dreamt of being able to beat


i feel like those all kicked my ass

i dont think i ever made it past the first stage

i remember spending what seemed like half the summer playing that game to beat it. thumbs were worn. i think after Pit transforms into the angel or whatever it was, you can just keep playing endlessly. i never played it again.

the game's aesthetics/music were pretty fascinating for the time.

But I'd cop this because of the size and portability. Double if it had batteries.

that sell me the most. I have all the emulators and an xbox controller for my PC but its just not the same. Even had a controller for the wii and a couple downloaded games but this is cool with how portable it is as well is a plus.

Streets won't let me chill.

Ninja Gaiden was tuff on the NES. It wasn't the arcade game like I was hoping (what NES game WAS like its arcade counterpart???), but it was good as hell.

i spent mad quarters on that game but i dont remember playing it on NES. dont tell me shinobi was on NES too.

It was absolute ass.

I found a side-by-side comparison of Shinobi on the NES vs the Sega Master System (which is clearly the better version).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSjRNTmGHqo

The only good thing about Tengen's Shinobi is that it's one of the very few games ever released on the NES that stayed as faithful as possible to the original arcade game. In fact, I think all of Tengen's arcade ports were like that.

in the arcade version...how the hell is a NINJA too slow to dodge cars??

Nintendo is right in hopping on this retro wave before someone else takes their lane. They looked at Kickstarter and decided to cater to this demo.

if you gonna do it, do it right, download the shit for free on your desktop/laptop and play it on a bigger screen with decent audio and a real controller.

like me...

Throw in some Kid Icarus and Excitebike
and it definitely looks buyable.
If it had Tecmo Bowl 2, I'd PRE-order

- dr. mario
- one of the donkey kongs (they're arcade classics. never even had original console releases, sans a "greatest hits" cart, i believe.)
- tecmo bowl

add
- rc pro-am (or rad racer)
- river city ransom
- tecmo SUPER bowl

too much mario representation overall. just keep the 'super' games.

ring king (yup, loved it)
little league baseball
ALL the bases loaded games
Altered Beast

The clean-up hitter was pretty good too. But he was usually hitting with no runners on base.

you ever get bored on double dribble and for shits and giggles jump like you're gonna dunk, but then just hold the ball for a traveling call?

yeah, there was always a nice portfolio of baseball games on the NES... RBI baseball (more cartoonish), basesball stars (saved seasons), etc.

*takes out cartridge and blows in it*

considering that Nintendo charge $5 per game on the Wii and Wii U...

Both were my shit.

Grab the latest version of MameUI, head over to RomHustler and download the Super Dodgeball and Salamander roms for it. (Lifeforce is Salamander renamed)

Me and my youngest daughter regularly play both games. She tried to like 'em on the NES emulator, but the arcade games are just so much better.

One of my favorite games of all time.
