Has there ever been a worse time to be a Nintendo fan?

Not hate, but curious. How could those be worst times??? Those were great times for me personally, expecially the SNES times

Because 2D, ewwwww.

IMO 3D platformers completely blow away 2D platforms and the NES/SNES era were the only times Nintendo never released a 3D platformer. Plus Smash didn't even exist until the N64 era. And Mario Kart, just look at the difference between Super Mario Kart and MK 64.

Then there's Zelda. While I'm personally not much of a fan of Zelda anyway I'd much rather play something like OOT than something like the original Zelda. Considering the amount of people who would call OOT and subsequent Zeldas some of the best games ever I doubt I'm alone in that.

I don't know what else there was back then, but just looking at how many great games Nintendo have released since I don't think it's much of a contest really.

Haha, fair enough. Going from 2D to 3D was pretty mind blowing as a kid and I really loved them, especially Mario 64.

Though that doesn't make 2D games inferior. There's still a place for them and they're still plenty loved. That's why still have games like the New Mario Bros games, DKC Returns, Rayman, Kirby, and so on. People loved them then and still love them now, including me. Not only that, there were just a lot of great games during that era. Super Mario World, Kirby Super Star, MegaMan X, Chrono Trigger, Mario RPG, DKC, Final Fantasy 6, Earthbound, and so on. I'm not even counting Genesis games, like Mario, Streets of Rage, and Golden Axe.

So yeah, I don't think those days were bad at all. Probably some of the fonder moments, especially the old guys who grew up in those days xD

Oh yeah, A Link Between Worlds was done in the SNES Zelda style, and that game was amazing as well. Nothing wrong with that style either. : P
