Nice story bro. Now that WiiU is about to come out, you should think about getting a Wii for cheap, and replay your childwood NES games on Virtual Console, and (why not?) try some of the awesome SNES, N64 and Wii games on it.
I never had a NES but I've played a lot of Super Mario Bros 3 on it.


Ill get NES before I buy any new games.Definitely on top of my list.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!  Don't get an Nes, now!  It will ruin all of your childhood memories.  It's like going back and watching a TV show from your childhood.  It aged terribly and Barney doesn't look like a real dinosaur anymore.  Just remember what it was and look forward to the future.


Ok, ok, geez. I actually know what you mean. Its like one of those things that you think its fun and when you go back and play it again, you realize its stupid. 

Okay, I get it. Thanks for the save

I was going to say a similar thing to the suggestion of trying old N64 games... If you played them back then then they may seem aged, but you can still see the value in them, if you didn't experience them then though, many games will have aged too much and will feel clunky and horrible (there are exceptions to the rule though such as Super Mario 64 and LoZ: Majora's Mask)

With the NES and SNES, because games all play in 2D I think some will still hold value today unless you are bothered about the looks... I think generally the simpler the premise of the game, the less the gameplay ages (I'm not really interested in them much myself, but 2D platformers like Super Mario Bros. are still enjoyable today if you are a platformer fan but haven't played SMB for some reason)

Yep, it really depends on games in the end. Personally, my first console was the Sega MegaDrive and I still find really enjoyable a lot of my old games like Sonic, Twin Hawk, Mortal Kombat, Alien Soldier, of course some others like Fifa 94', F-22 Interceptor have aged badly.

I played some SNES games for the first time on Virtual Console: games like Donkey Kong Counrty 1 and Super Metroid are easily among the ones I've enjoyed the most this gen, even tought they're 15 years old.
