I'm old enough to remember when Nintendo, Sony and MS didn't even RELEASE remakes. Yes, that's right kids. There was a time when every game that was released was brand new. Crazy aint it?


Yeah, and not true.


Yeah, and very true. When the NES first launched, all of the major first party titles were new to consoles (Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Kirby, Mike Tysons PO etc.) None of them were Atari 2600 remakes.

The PS4 is still in its first year!

 

  • Metroid was released over 3 years after NES launch
  • Zelda, Kid Icarus, Mike Tyson's Punch Out were released over 4 years after NES launch
  • Kirby was released nearly 10 years after NES launch
So which games were really released in the first NES years? Ports from arcade machines! These games weren't new, most of them were years old: Donkey Kong, DK Jr., Popeye, Mario Bros., Galaxian, Pac-Man, Lode Runner (ported from C64), Wild Gunman...
