We need games to be more “gaming” and less “cinematographic, ultrarealistic movie”.
NES is one I think is on the verge of “not holding up” vs SNES/Genesis where you can just release a game for it now and it would still do well for an indie.
Still, solid enough library. Favorite game is Jackal.
anyone around when it came out will remember the excitement of super mario twins
Shiggity shiggity shwa
They look the same!
I would say to them You want ice cream cone?
Both of them say yes
38 technically (it’s the Famicom that’s 40)
You’re right! I thought that too but didn’t double check
the funny thing is this it’s not the first article I’ve read about it this year, and tbf to them it’s really hard to talk about how some of the games we love for the NES are turning 40 while the console itself is only 38
I’m sure for the marketing it’s a lot better to be succinct with a title for the casual reader. Saying "The Famicom, the pre-cursor to the NES, turns 40: … "
I’ve never played on the official NES, here in Brazil we had bootleg versions like this one
What is that system playing? Cause that’s like a Genesis / MD controller
As I said, that’s a bootlegged NES! look at that Ghostbusters cart on the right :)
And you’re right, the controller looks like a Genesis one. But zoom enough on the pic and you’ll see that where the ‘C’ button would be, it’s actually the ‘Start’ button
40, damn. I still have mine.
