A young generation of gamers

Anyone born 1995 or later, please speak up. What do you think about the Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64 or the Playstation 1. To blurt out some of the biggest names, Final Fantasy 7, Super Mario World, Megaman X, Goldeneye 64, Super Mario 64, LoZ: Ocarina of Time, Chrono Trigger and Metal Gear Solid, what do you think about these titles? The reason I'm asking is because I can play all of these titles and enjoy them tremendously, but I wonder if it's only because of nostalgia or if they stand up to the games of today. The Nintendo 64 and the Playstation 1 are both processing 3d games that pale in comparison to the games of today, and I can see how the consoles really limited the gameplay in some ways. But isn't the SNES the console of choice if you want some great 2d games? I can't think of many 2d games in these days that compares to those of the SNES. Please, enlighten me you youngins.

I sincerely hope there are not that many 12 year olds on here.BambooBanger

lmao i was just thinking the same.

Ah, I see you fixed my complaint.

I will be 23 in a few days. Sorry, don't fit in your young category. I grew up with the Intellivision and NES around me. However, I am not a slave to nostalgia, and will readily admit gaming today is more enjoyable on the whole to me than gaming in the past was.

From what I've read, I bet there are.

I feel bad for anyone whou didn't get to experience the greatness of the NES and SNES.HappyAppe

Agree with you.
Those are the worst fanboys, the ones now knowing how it all started.
I'm 19 myself, grew up with the NES. Started with Super Mario Bros. + Duckhunt (with lightgun pewpew!).

The modding communities are thriving and I see more and more interesting ideas as time goes by. In that regard, I agree. But I wonder if that makes older games obsolete and unplayable. I know there aren't many games on the NES that I can play, the Megaman series is an exception.To me, the NES is obsolete.Though there are some great games on it, most of them are too simplistic for me.

I would like to believe that 2d games were in its prime during the SNES era. The DS has contributed with some nice titles but we haven't seen any great progress, really.The older 3d games are obsolete, maybe, compared to the juggernauts of today.

I agree.

How gamers could not have experienced Sonic at his peak or Phantasy Star when it wasn't online really irks me!

Although I played games at that age, I never took it as far as they do now, I didn't care about sales and the extent of fanboydom was if the SNES or Mega Drive version of Mortal Kombat 2 looked better!

The younger gamers on this board should take priority in going out and developing a life and accompanying personality, instead of logging into forums and waving VGChartz figures in everyones faces.

Space bar, man, space bar!

Older titles can be great. But that does not mean I want new games to emulate them. I like having new great games, and the option to replay "classic" games of years past as well.

I think anyone whose first experience with games was the PS1/N64 generation should be considered part of the "young generation of gamers."mjarantilla

I myself played the NES and the PC for a very long time. I'm only 19 but I have played most of what gaming history has to offer. When I said "young generation" I'm talking about those who have only experienced hi-resolution 3d games, mostly on consoles.

they're not allowed.

Hah, I think Opera doesn't want to co-operate.

I wonder how good a game "really" is, if new generations will always be able to enjoy them if they play them with an open mind. Or if it's only nostalgia playing tricks on us.

If a game is great when its out, and nostalgia makes replaying it fun in the future, I don't mind one bit what anyone else considers to be a "good" game.
