You can't answer that question, because if 20 years ago we had the games that we have now, then those same games would have been nostalgia, as you put it, right now.

Also, why do you use nostalgia as an excuse? Old games may not be of your personal preference, yet that doesn't give you the right to say other people have warped feelings about a game just because of nostalgia. My favourite game of all time is Lufia 2. You really think it's nostalgia? Think again, I still play it nowadays and would pick over any game that's released right now. Not everyone functions in the same way as you do.

That is not the point of the question.

I am saying that twenty years ago, if we gave a gamer the choice of two games that came out, SMB3 or SMG, they will go to SMG because it's better in every sense of the word.

And yes, nostalgia does warp feelings. Being young does not contribute well either.

And I don't know what Lufia 2 is.

Quality is a matter of opinion. Not everyone thinks like you do.

 

SMB3 is by far one of the best games of all time, the clever level design, the creative powerups, the music, everything about it is perfect. My friends who are not gamers in any way, shape, or form can pick it up and still have fun. It gets really hard and some levels are almost impossible, but they are just so well designed that you keep playing.
