Contra...
Contra...

Me and my friend spent hours on Contra, it's just one of the best sidescrolling games ever.
And the multiplayer was AWESOME!

Sad thing is, they never really released the Mother games in the US, they did release the first one under the name "Earthbound" bad sadly, it didn't get enough attention to warrant the release of the second.

Metal Gear was also real damn awesome, emergence of the stealth genre. (Although Snake's Revenge sucked.)



I also see Tulac's fanboyism has entered this topic, please ignore. :P

Yeah nintendo is great for those under 12...



Need I say more?

If you wish to say more, you could try to justify that ridiculous statement.

[Tulac]

Look at the picture :P

If there's anything over 12 on it, I don't see it...

*evades a horde of nintendo fanboys*
No wonder they're number one on the handheld market, since it's the most childish of them all...

(I will not post in this topic again, because I'm tired of discussing with nintendo fanboys, and after all, you all admit that you liked NES the most, when you were probably under 12...)

If you have any problems with the statement please the direct it to blood piggy, he's my PR...

[TheGiantMidgit]

Fair enough. I just know one fact: Zelda reigns supreme over, oh, just about everything.

We are not talking about handheld here, you were talking about SSBM. Did you ever tryied that game? Yes, it's aimed rightfully at children since it's the big majority of those who actually play those games. But if you want to go deeper, SMBM have one of the deepest difficulty in moves, combo and fight patterns. There is actually strategy, you need to learn to dodge and block attacks. All the attacks actually have a purpose, and with so much characters it's almost impossible not to find one you don't like.

IMHO, Nintendo is #1 because their games is aimed at the old and proven theory of fun and gameplay over anything else, not because they aim at childs.

Aces Of The Deep = OMFG GOODNESS

I don't see what the problem is with Nintendo being consider "childish" I mean, they're certainly not.
And cmon' my favorite gaming franchise is one of the ones that's aimed exclusively at older audiences, Metal Gear Solid, so I should be able to compare and say "Wtf is this?"

But I can't, seriously, Nintendo has had plenty of exclusives and titles aimed at older audiences.

One example could be one of their best games, "Eternal Darkness".
Personally I think Tulac just considers anyone who disagrees with his "Baby Nintendo" theory as a fanboy.

Tulac.
Please stop trolling. (especially that first post of yours, was one big troll).

Let's start from beggining. Nintendo (NES) was not the greatest console, but it was one of the first, with largest game collection to support it.

That's part that Sega did not understand, so later they become history in console market. Sega Master System (SMS) was technicaly much better then NES.

But still, what made Nintendo great are the games, which some can say are childish, but I would not agree. None of the consoles of that time did include much of 'adult' or 'mature' titles except computers (Amiga, Atari ST and PC, or in early time C64, ZX Spectrum, BBC, ...). Most of the games were actually the same titles, and those titles support my saying that SMS was more advanced and better consoles, as all of them looked and played better on SMS then on NES. But some exclusive titles made Nintendo famouse, including Mario, Zelda, Metroid and later F-Zero and StarFox.

I still play NES and SNES games, as well SMS and Sega Megadrive games, and all of them bring some nice memories back from the 80s-90s.a

And to mention some Nintendo titles:

* Adventure Island (Hudson's version of WonderBoy - made by some programers who actually were working on WonderBoy)
* Adventure of LOLo
* Castelvania - Finished it rescently, it took a lot of tries. Wholse series was nice, with my favorite being N64 version.
* Dr. Mario - nice tetris alike puzzle game
* Final Fantasy - this is were it all started
* Ice Climbers - great game with simple idea
* Metroid - Samus first adventure...
* Megaman - famouse series, but IMO first couple of titles were a bit hard
* Snow Bros - mario on the ice?
* Super Turrican - NES port of the famouse game, that game at the end if its life
* Xevious - nice top view shooter

Waht.. I mean is.. what is a Nintendo C64? :crazy:

Back on topic.. Yes.. when I was a kid Nintendo was great, but as I've grown older.. well I moved on, I can totally acknowledge that the games are childish, but that's what Nintendo do and it's what they do best. I regard the NES as my favourite console of all time (Amiga still beats it, but it's not a console so..) just because of all the good memories I have of early Nintendo games.

Nowdays I'm still a console fan, but I've gone the way of the Sony.. I never have had two same generation consoles due to money restrictions, but if I was going to buy a second console I would definetly buy a Nintendo over an XBox. Just because XBox is too similar to the Playstation, whilst Nintendo offers more original content
