U act like the Wii and motion controls werent a big deal


I'm strictly talking about hard core gaming.


Wasnt NES pretty casual back in the day?

You ever see old people in nursing homes playing Ninja Gaiden, Kid Icarus and/or the first Metroid? lol. Hell, people who've never plays games in their entire life probably couldn't even get to the first castle in SMB lol.

U ever see people in nursing homes playing Monster Hunter Tri, Xenoblade Chronicles, Metroid Prime 3?


Three great games that were absolutely outsold by Wii Sports, play and Fit.

Ninja Gaiden, Kid Icarus and Metroid are three great game that were absolutely outsold by Super Mario Bros, Duck Hunt and Tetris

A 70 year old non gamer couldn't play those three games either lol.

Are you serious? U dont think an old non gamer could play Duck Hunt or Tetris? If u honestly believe that then u are extremely ignorant

If by play you mean push a button and make something happen, sure. But to me, if someone can't be given a game and controller and figure it out really quick all on their own? Then it's not a casual game. There's not one non gamer on earth, someone who hasn't played a video game in their life, that can pick up SMB or Tetris and get get to the castle or get to level 3 in Tetris. But I promise you, there is someone who can flick their wrist in Wii Sports bowling and fluke a few strikes. I've SEEN this happen with my own two eyes.

The fact is, NES games are known as some of the hardest games ever made. Even SMB would be too hard for today's kids. You get three lives, no continues. Make it to level 8 and lose that last life? DONE. Can NSMB and NSMB U claim that? Hell no!! If you want challenge like the NES days, you have to go third party and play games like Super Meat Boy. So enough of this NES is casual CRAP, because that's BS.
