I'm 33, so I am THE generation as far as console gaming is concerned. I've experienced every generation as they happened and imo, Nintendo isn't anything like they were back then. That isn't to say they're no good at what they do, they are, but back in the 80's the franchises that people are playing now, Nintendo INVENTED them. Metroid, Mario,Donkey Kong,Zelda,Kirby etc....they were all created back then. Nintendo didn't just release great games, they created great new IPs that changed the industry. Those days are LONG gone as they're now more concentrated on pleasing their fanbase than creating new core IP. So imo, the Nintendo of 1985 to 2000 is way better.
