Nostalgic games that still gets you.

Streets of Rage still gets me. I loved replaying SoR2 on the Wii VC, so nostalgic to play that game again after so many years. It's short and sweet, it was a blast going through it again with my sister like we did so many times before. I played the sequel around that time too and what a let down SoR3 was, I'm glad I didn't play it back then. I know a sequel/reboot of SoR would never do justice to this series, due to my nostalgia around it.

I am not nostalgic of games from the last decade yet, but my 2D niche has been filled by Nintendo/downloadable titles.

Love to hear the SoR love, but SoR 3 was the shit! It's really, really.....really hard but so great when you master it.

The first time I played it I turned it off in disgust but grew to love it.

If Sega announced SoR 4, in 2D, on Wii U my life would be complete....

That's it, if I got it back then I'd force myself to play it a few times, maybe I should give it another chance. What I remember from my first time playing in the VC, there was something wrong about the music or sound effects, they were muted for some reason. And like you said the added difficulty, like encountering normal enemies or mini-bosses in between levels with a bunch of full health bars (which felt cheap). There are some nice things such as the vertical dodge... But probably if I play more I'd get better at it and might enjoy the nonsensical story.
