Shhh, just let him be angry at the world...

Ah, the game I shall always remember as the one where all the reviewers collectively dropped the ball. A brawler in which each player’s active quests and progress have to be independently updated during local co-op, and where the progress through the main story for everyone but the main player doesn’t update,…

Born in ‘82 here. And your thoughts about “Mario 3 is cool but...” are right up my alley, as well. The NES got me into games when I was like 6 or 7. The SNES turned me into a gamer. Super Mario World is sooooo much better than SM1-3 like you said. Super Metroid vs Metroid, no doubt. I mean you hit the nail on the head…

Come on, Nintendo fans! For as self-aware as you seem to be, sometimes you seem like you’re stuck waaayyy too far up your own nostalgia-filled ass to see that NES games just. plain. suck.

I certainly won’t be the first one to underestimate the power of Nostalgia, but honestly, by this point... after the Wii, 3DS, AND Wii U’s Virtual Consoles, not to mention the NES Classic (which, admittedly, is relatively rare), just how many people want to play these NES games anymore??

Thing is, there are reasons to launch on iOS first, and plenty of examples to go with... because iOS is easier to develop to. Android has the usual hardware fragmentation hell to go through. Other reasons given by devs: piracy is harder on iOS, even though there are far more Android devices in the market, iOS users…

Because I believe it is deeply important to report on the culture surrounding games and the people who are passionately exploring them.

you are very much likely the only person that doesn’t know what that means, and 100% the only person the decided to proclaim their ignorance and write a comment instead of doing a google search
