I actually think the standarts today are terrible: regenerating energy, games releases with missing pieces and parts, neverending cutscenes, retarded gameplay (press x to save the world) and much more stuff.
I think about nes games, even those that are considered terrible, like Die Hard, Bart vs the World or Roger Rabbit, and they are adorable.
The good ones are legendary, Mario, Zelda, Megaman, Castlevania, Tiny Toons, etc, etc;;;
