Alas, i am going to have to disagree with the right honorable Mr. Malstrom
Certainly these old games were founded upon arcade gameplay, but there was a distinct quality, the "Nintendo magic" if you will, that set them apart. I don't really feel like writing a really long, ambiguous reply that still wouldn't quite explain what i mean by "Nintendo magic," but there was that quality in most or all of Nintendo's old titles that has set them apart from the herd, and continues to do so
Nintendo has not lost the magic, in my opinion. The charm that their games carry with them has not diminished
Now, if the reason you were into Nintendo games was founded upon the values of gaming in the NES era, and that's the reason you liked Nintendo specifically, you are going to be disappointed as the punishment goes out of their titles. However, those who have been in it for the charm, i think, are not disappointed, unless they're the kind of person who only sees originality as a "you have to reinvent the wheel every time," you will equally be disappointed
