lol Older games are just terrible by today's standard.
This list shows that Japanese people are very honest, unlike western old trolls who think old games are still good today.
Seriously, who can enjoy the super mario bros 1 today?
Recently I played some SNES games that were popular on virtual console and they were so boring compared to recent games. I also played some popular PS1 games and they were just terrible.
Most recent games are far better than old good games.
The fact you enjoyed old games IN THAT OLD ERA does not mean those games are as good as recent games.
And bayonetta and super mario bros wii, which got 40 of 40 in Famitsu, are not included in this list. JP gamers do not vote for games which got high scores but in fact are not so good.

this is just wrong.  You may not like older games, that doesn't mean anything.  I'm not being dishonest by sitting here and enjoying the hell out of older games.  Mario 1 is actually a really good game, that is why NSMB wii is selling so much, because NSMB wii is actually not much more advanced then that game.  Mario Galaxy is much more advanced, but it will not be enjoyed by nearly as many people.  Meanwhile Mario 1 keeps selling millions on virtual console.  I am currently playing shadow dancer, a really nice purchase.

No, he is right. Mario games on the VC sell based on nostalgia to the same people that grew playing Mario in the 80's and 90's because that's what was avaliable at that time. Try to convince anyone who started playing at the PS2 era to enjoy the first Marios. You simply can't because he will be able to perceive the many flaws nostalgia allow people to overlook.

I've studied about the subject god dammit so I really don't care a little if you disagree because I know that's true. The same goes for music and books.
