10/12/2008 10:55:18 PM

Those pretty much sucked though.

SNES controllers were much better.

10/12/2008 10:56:58 PM

^^I bought mine for like $25 on eBay. Didn't feel like going throught the trouble of modding it myself. Then just downloaded NESTopia package from Limewire. NES Emulator and pretty much every NES game ever for free.

10/12/2008 11:00:31 PM

It's fun to play games that are actually hard.

Kid Icarus used to piss me the fuck off. I broke many controllers over that game.

10/12/2008 11:03:21 PM

You actually broke a NES controller....impossible

10/12/2008 11:03:50 PM

ok, well I didn't break the controller, but I broke the shit I threw it at

10/12/2008 11:04:15 PM

Ok, I can believe that.

some are hard by limited controls. other are hard because of limited lives and nothing else.

very few were hard because of design

Maybe the it was part of the design to have limited lives...i'm just saying.

I fucking love Kid Icarus, one of my favorite games of all time

10/13/2008 12:16:56 AM

Nintendo ftw!

10/14/2008 3:17:50 AM

so I noticed they finally stopped making GBA games - when did that happen, about a year ago?

10/14/2008 6:32:11 AM

I hate to admit it, but legend of zelda kicked my ass.

10/14/2008 6:36:30 AM

Legend of Zelda was good

but I was better at Zelda II when I was a wee lad, apparently

10/14/2008 6:38:31 AM

Mega Man

10/17/2008 11:45:58 AM

^^ same here, at least until I made that spider-looking thing move. Those levels with the invisible shit stalking Link gave me fits.


I haven't played my emulator in a while. I just learned that I can load the rar file itself in FCEUltra

10/17/2008 3:30:27 PM

10/17/2008 3:31:57 PM

Don't forget all of the innovations that Nintendo pioneered or made popular that is commonplace in most console games now. Off the top of my head:

1. Directional pad. (Nintendo actually has a patent on the familiar cross shape I believe)
2. Traditional movement of character with left thumb while performing actions with right thumb
3. Analog and digital on the same controller
4. First system since I think maybe an old Atari console to have four controllers that could attach without needing a multitap
5. L and R shoulder buttons
6. Although not really used anymore since hard drives are common place, but memory cards in controllers (although Dreamcast had these too... did Dreamcast come out before the N64?)
7. Vibrating controller (it could be argued that PC did this with force feedback joysticks but the N64 was the first console to do it)
8. Use of motion for controlling the game rather than just button pushing (I think one of the Warioware games actually did this on the GBA a few years before the Wii was announced)
