    Good games are good games regardless of when they’re made

      And in one sentence you’ve completely encapsulated the reason why Nintendo is terrified of emulators.

        And they still remake the same handful of games every couple years. We JUST got a new Mario Party that looks identical to the previous two. The only different ones are probably Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.

        I don’t think I’ll ever understand Nintendo fanboys that replay essentially the same shit with a slightly different skin on it.

          (for the switch)

          The first Mario Party felt like a scam. Such a rip-off.

          The 2nd Mario Party felt like what it should have been all along.

          The 3rd Mario Party should have been a free DLC for the 2nd game.

          Every single 3D Mario game has been a significant innovation over the previous one, except for Mario Galaxy 2

        If this was the reason then they’d be trying to sell us these old games again…but they’re not outside of their shitty subscription service that offers a few games that nobody wants.

      Plus, if you can get the right model, you can play PS2 and PS1 games on it. That’s a ridiculous library full of hidden gems.

        My launch day 60GB PS3 is still trucking along. Every few years I open it up, clean it out, and reapply thermal paste. It now has an SSD in it, and runs like a champ.
