I'd check it out if it were on the Wii, but it isn't. 

I don't get the joke.  Is it all cut scenes or something? 

There is no joke lol. Its the my favorite game of all time. The best this gen has to offer (not really, but it is). The best story telling with cutsenses and gameplay and atmosphere. Its infamous. Go check out infamous Videos for Gods sake. You know what, since i love it so much, here

Trust me man, if i had a chance to let you guys borrow my ps3 to play this game, i would do it.

Well, one could say that nostalgy plays a part on the feeling we have for those games, but since playing NSMB, I can´t help but remember how I felt playing the original in SNES, just as with DK. DK was the first game I actually finished, since I have the bad habit of not finishing my games. And OoT I played in a friends 64, along with Goldeye and Mario 64 and it´s vivid in my mid the feelings I got playing them.

I actually recomend that you try DKC and OoT, if you can emulate them on PC. Amazing games.

Yes I must say NSMBW was a lot of fun to play, especially splitscreen with at least one other person. I guess partly I'm just hating on Nintendo because I've always been a Playstation guy and I don't have Nintendo nostalgia. 

I really wish I had played Ocarina of Time back when it was new. The first time I played it was actually about a year ago which is kind of sad, and its not the same playing it 10 or so years late. 

To each his own. Personally thought, I get bored quickly with Uncharted and CoD (the single player mode at least). They are far too linear, too many cutsenes, load times, and all that exterior junk that detracts from the actual gameplay. I do love Fallout though, I could play that for hours on end without getting bored. I just love the freedom and sense of accomplishment and progression from that game.

I love 2D side scrollers because they are pure fast paced gameplay. They are simple at their core yet could be difficult and complex too. And they have nearly endless replay value.

I believe the reason people get so nostalgic over these games is that they are truly better games.

Opinions, opinions everywhere.

This 100% 

Here's how I buy a game:

I ask myself "Will I really play this game 3 years from now? If so, buy it."

I cannot accept buying a game that I can enjoy for just a few months and never play it again. That's what I feel this generation is full of. There aren't many games that I feel like going back to... which is sad. I still play Unreal Tournament and Diablo ONE till this day for example. Shows where quality is heading (More like artificial replay value).

Yeah. I also hate the 'hardcore' gamers. Those people who think that if a game has cutscenes or a coherent plot, it must have bad gameplay. Or when they think their tastes in games are vastly superior to others. Not that it is bad itself but when they are hypocrits, it gets very annoying. For example "lol fps games suck, brown and grey, mindless shooting, boring -> omg goldeneye ftw"

Or the ones who say sim racers are boring, I'd rather drive my own car. So cute.

Its not blinded by nostalgie when you can still pick the games up and play them for hours and hours and find just as much if not more enjoyment in them.
