First off, I'm 36. I don't need to be any closer to 40 than I have to be and second, I'm pretty sure more than 1% of the original NES kids could beat an NES game considering we're all trained and grew up on them. Saying only 1% of 36 year olds can beat an NES game is like saying only 1% of 16 year olds know how to download an app on a smartphone.


Oh, so this is about any NES game? Well that's a completely different story. Anyways, saying only 1% of 16 year olds can beat an NES game is like saying only 1% of 36 year olds know how to send an e-mail.

lol

All I'm saying is this. If you take a 16 year old who's only ever gamed on 360/PS3 to now, playing only modern games, they're not going to have the skill set that someone does who has gamed since the NES because modern (not retro indie platformers etc.) games are soft in comparison. 

Can someone who is young be raised today on hard games and have those skills? Sure, and there's many out there that do... but it's not the majority or even close.
