@TomMcShea You didn't. I was speaking in general about today's state of gaming. But that's not my gripe here. I think your article is throwing old-school gamers under the bus. Developers HAVE BEEN breaking free of the ideas of 20 years ago, and it always seems to end the same-- visually stunning, no skill required, no punishment for playing poorly, open world turds. That's why many people have been taking steps back and picking up NES and SNES controllers once more.

I say, let's build off the ideas of the past and create old school inspired games like Super Meat Boy, etc. But if someone wants to reintroduce a game of old to some of these kids who grew up never knowing a difficult, punishing game, like Ducktales Remastered, let them. Give them a taste of what we had to go through when we lost all 3 lives and had to redo an entire game!

P.S. I'm sorry I called you an asshole. I got caught up in the moment.

So according to this asshole, let's all embrace the post-Playstation, "hold your hand at every turn" era of gaming, and piss on everything we've ever loved about growing up. I refuse. Some of us think that gaming actually needs to GO BACK to it's roots, rather than shipping out high-end graphical turds that are most games nowadays.

By the way, I don't think The Legend of Zelda needs to change a thing.

That's the point of the game. To take you back to that era. Judge the game for what it is, what it's MEANT to be. Don't judge it based on it's comparison to other games of today.

This is yet another example of how the divide between old-school gamers and "post-Playstation" gamers is growing.

@Lhomity How can you be so shallow as to come up with that kind of conclusion to what I said? This reviewer low-balled this game because it doesn't stand up to today's expectations?!? It's a remastered 20 year old game, nothing more. That's the point. With that kind of logic, you might as well piss on every game made before the Playstation.

It's a remake of an early 90's NES game! That's what the game is meant to be! This man should not work in the field of video game journalism. Period.

Ding ding ding!!! We have a winner!!!

This won't be half as good as the original Rare/Nintendo game. Bet.

80% of Sony employees prefer the PS4 over any other next generation platform.

The new look is awesome!!!

Regardless of the Wii U doing well or not, Nintendo will live on. The company has seen times like this before with N64 and GameCube. When their home consoles do bad, their handheld products continue to top the market and bail them out.
