The games are still difficult by core design though. And how many of this thing's buyers do you think have been playing NES recently? I bet a lot of them haven't touched one in years.

Games are still difficult, but difficullty isnt so much problem now with save option, games will be still difficullt but totaly difrent expariance with save option.

Like wrote, NES Mini have save option, and save option makes huge difference compared to playing in 80", it not exactly same when you loose your 3 lives and need to start over from beginning, and when you can just start right you died, totally different experience and basically game changer.

Imagine if Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze gave you infinite lives. It would still be a challenging game by modern standards because of the reflexes and precision it demands. The difficulty of NES games did not stem solely from their lives/checkpoints system.
