I started gaming with nintendo and platformers where a dime a dozen, i played the greats (SOnic, Mario) the not so greats (Aero the acrobat) and everything in between. I see how you would like to want to have more 2d plats, but from my point of view, as a guy who has played a ton of them, im far less excited |
Yup, I missed it all, although the last few years, i started getting bored with modern gaming, and started reading up on everything I've missed, and today I own a Megadrive, a SNES, a Dreamcast, and a NES, with tons of games for all of them (among the consoles I got new of course), and have plans on getting a Master System and a Saturn.
Which makes me living proof against the argument that people only like old games because of nostalgia :D
But enough of that.
It's good that you can see why people would want these games then. After all, pure 2D platformers have not been made for almost two decades, which means a LOT of people haven't experienced them.
What surprises me is that you're still tired of those games after all these years. Although I wouldn't mind if most of the generic FPS games of this gen dissapeared forever, so I guess that's what it's like to live through a dominant genre.
I LOVE ICELAND!
