Back when I was 13 playing DKC on SNES, I'd always laugh at Cranky Kong when he'd bitch about "todays gamers are soft" etc. Now, I have BECOME Cranky Kong. Kids THESE days are soft as hell.

Kids who's first console was NES, we have twitch skills that other generations will never have.

True dat. However, I grew up with an NES and took my lumps on SMB 1 and 3, Mega Man 2, Contra, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the tough as nails single player one), Ninja Gaiden and Street Fighter 2010. I will never go back to them (well maybe the SMB, they're a lot more fun than hard). Maybe I got spoiled, but I no longer enjoy only being able to get through half the game before hitting a brick wall halfway through and having to completely start over.

Hard = Good            Disproportionate amount of punishment for dying or getting hit = Not fun
