The NES is like, the manifestation of awesome, man.

Don't add to my problems by pretending my past views are still held in the present. I do not have any patience for that. Feel free to ask me what I think now.

Re: The nes is awesome.Agreed?
I have to agree with you. The d-pad is a terrible thing that was finally superseded when the Playstation invented the analog joystick (which is the best system ever, by the way). Games like Mario, Mega Man, Castlevania, Contra and Zelda are very overrated. Mario is just a rip-off of Pitfall, Mega Man looks like a baby in a blue diaper that shoots iced milk, Castlevania is just a rip-off of Dracula and stupid music and bad control, Contra is the same as every other run and shoot game like Metal Slug and Gunstar Heroes, and Zelda is a total Ultima wannabe.AppleQueso wrote:No. Worst console ever.

The sideways cartridge thing is so stupid. I like to see what game I am playing! The Atari and Sega systems are way better, because I can look at the game I am playing.
Also, the NES graphics aren't even good. Both the Sega, X-Box and Sony games look better!
It is true that the NES started gaming though. I have to give it credit for that. Especially with Mario 64, which was the first video game.

D-pad's? Your'e ripping on d-pads? Come on dude! Correct me if i'm wrong on this one but i'm pretty sure they didn't have the right material to make an analog stick as great as the Playstation. The joystick on the Atari 2600 was good but if you added more buttons it would be a complete mess, what else was Nintendo supposed to do? And also, I do agree that the games you talk about do get overrated sometimes but some of them set the guidelines for the amazing games we have today!
If your'e seriously complaining about the sideways cartridge thing than you have anxiety issues and of course the X-Box, Sony, and Sega graphics are better, they're newer! Derp!
We're talking about the entertainment and fun value of the console. So stop ranting your pants off for nothing.

Replace fundamentalism with fanboyism which I guess is a kind of fundamentalism? This thread is a winner.

What's an NES? Is it the one that can play video tapes too?
