Give Us Back The Old Nintendo (Nowgamer article)

[The Ghost of RubangB]

I want the old Nintendo back too.  I'm sick of all this casual crap they keep shoving down our throats.  I miss the days of the NES and SNES, when we had classic games like Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Blaster Master, Contra, Castlevania, Gradius, Mega Man, Tetris, Dr. Mario, Bubble Bobble, Metroid, Excitebike, Punch-Out!!, NBA Jam, Donkey Kong Country, and Final Fantasy 4.  Hell, even in later years we got other great games like GoldenEye 007, but with the new Nintendo, games like those will never happen again.  After Nintendo abandoned us hardcore gamers, I had to resort to other systems to play real games like Sonic the Hedgehog, Klonoa, Monster Hunter, Manhunt, Bully, The Godfather, vs. Capcom, Dragon Quest, and Okami.  Nintendo could never deliver core games like those.
