i'll take it you are too young to have owned a NES or SNES...

I'm 31. So yes, i played a lot of difficult NES games. 

Most of those NES games i could forgive because the industry was young (and me). Getting a good balance of controls and challenge was still difficult. Nintendo did those thing mostly right. Others did not (kuch... Turtles).

And when the SNES came along, games were far better. That balance of controls and challenge improved on many levels. It made things far more enjoyable for a gamer.

With each newer console, that mix improved even more.

That's actually the reason why those Cave levels are now really bad. Retro has no excuse to make such aggravating levels. They are ruining the enjoyument of the game. For no point.

i can't claim to have played DKC on the wii but ...the challenge of old school games is something i think current generation games miss and the reason i still like playing the original DKC or mario world or super metroid or really snes games in general.   in a lot of ways those were better times.
