The NES? are you too young or don't care to look?

Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, Megaman, Castlevania, Dragon Quest, Commando, Double Dragon...those are ALL 1986 to 1987 games (DD is 88) and I could look for more. The NES debuted in USA at the end of 85, it was released in Japan end of 83...wth are you talking about???


heheh I got the comment from anthor thread. As you didn't notice all those games are from Japan. If anything you are proberly the young
one and I am too but that's not the point. The NES got great support from Japan. But games from the west wasn't so good.
In matter of fact they decided to put their big games on computers instead. The NES didn't get tons of Americain support.
Japan did because it was sucessful for a long time there. They called the NES outdated alot and predicted doom every
year up til around the early 90's. Like I said before Wii=NES reborn

Yup, when you take into consideration the entire NES lifespan (it was released, earlier in Japan called the Famicon), NES didn't get really good 3rd party support until later in it's lifecycle.

Someone has a link to an article with a ton of similarities between the Wii and NES.  It is amazing how much we forget over the years, but NES got a lot of crap too before it became respected later (as much as a gaming console can be respected).
