I'm younger than them and even I know what a NES is! I knew that people these days ar idiots, but they're the stupidest you can get in gaming.

For a minute I really thought they were faking it for the purpose of the reaction video. I know Zelda is not a big household name like Mario, and that the NES is nearly 30 years old, but not having general knowledge about a few old gaming terms is weird.

Aye, because at least the more popular older consoles are a part of pop culture. Maybe the Master System and definitely the Atari 7800 would elude most folks, as might the Neo Geo and T16, but NES, SNES, and Genesis should be in the cultural memory now.

"better than new mario, thats for sure"

instant hate for that ignorant kid

I'm younger than some of these people, and I know about the NES, the games it had, its competition, and some of its add-ons. (Heck, my family had a Famicom at one point, and they bought the Famicom Disk System for it, and stuff hit the fan.)

By the way, Super Famicom controllers > SNES controllers.

"Sega does what Nintendon't!"

Yeah, they still do!

Also, why do people associate ignorance of old things with stupidity. I'm too young to know about things before SNES, and the games I've played before that generation, I can count on one hand. I just don't care about it.

.... And i realized... Im old...

Kids React to Game Boy.

I can forgive the ignorance. That doesn't bother me. If you were never exposed to something, then it's hard to get used to it. However, the fact that some of these kids know about games and play on the new consoles is disturbing because that says something. It says that games today do not challenge players enough. It also says that games today hold your hand too much. How is it that a more complext game in full 3D provides less of a challenege than a more intuitive and simplistic 2D game? Also, how can you not figure out how to master controls on a controller that contains four buttons and a d-pad wirhout reading instructions (also assuming that the game's controls aren't shit)? 

This is real problem. Back when I was a kid, actually beating a game was a huge reward. I rarely ever got to see an ending of a videogame. This is because most games were extremely difficult. It had to be this way because developers couldn't make long games that weren't RPG's due to technical shortcomings. However, the brutal difficulty of games improved hand-eye cordination and made us better gamers. SInce we had to master our games, that also meant that we kept them for a while. This is something publishers and developers should take note of. If they don't want second hand sales of their games, then they should learn to make something that's compelling and that the player would want to pick up again and again, not sometihng you would beat in a weekend and never want to touch again or something that focuses on story over gameplay, which makes play not want to play it again when the game's done.
