Gaming has lost it's touch.

The games are getting better. It's just you that's changing.

I remember Street Fighter 2 was the reason I (and everyone I knew) wanted a SNES. At the time, it was groundbreaking because all the characters had their own set of moves.
Nostalgia freaks will probably disagree, but having played the game more recently, I can safely say that it is utter crap. Years of playing superior fighters (from MK3 to Tekken: DR) has taught me how primitive SF2 really is. Button-mashing just doesn't cut it anymore.

Gaming is a technological medium, so games will continue to improve for many years. We are still nowhere near the stage where gaming can be taken seriously as a legitimate art form. The golden age is yet to come...

 I know next to nothing about Street Fighter 2, and i know you're trying to put this on nostalgia freaks, but I can tell you that Street Fighter 2 certianly isn't button mashing.  I've watch youtube videos, and seen enough friends play to safely say that it is much deepr than button mashing.  Hopefully someone that knows what they are talking about can come in here and prepare a proper arguement.  I was never into fighters much...
