At a glance maybe, but aside from being kinda simple you also begin to notice they often sound very similar. The NES' sound capabilities were pretty limited, so often things will just sound like Mega Man or something, so the sense of variety takes a noticeable hit.
I think it's only got four channels with hardware-defined waveforms, so the timbre of your music is extremely limited. It's similar to how all music, no matter how interesting the writing is, would start to sound pretty same-y if we had nothing but (for example) clarinets to play it on.
But aren't kart racers just racing "games" for people who suck at real racing games like Forza and Gran Turismo
You're definitely in the right thread.
So is the thread title meaningless now, or
Smash Bros is, and will always be, a party game. Ive seen the miserable fucks that still cling on to the second title competitivly in the series and it's dreary:
I would say the modern fighting game, yes.
Everyone knows that autists who play Smash Bros only pick Final Destination for the stage as the game "doesn't have any other stages".
The last fighting games I really loved and put a lot of time into were probably Capcom vs. SNK2 and Deception. The 00s were pretty much a dead landscape since the fighting game fad was pretty much over and you only had a couple decent ones. Although the biggest series at the time was the MK 2nd gen trilogy and that petered out with their shitty Armageddon. Aside from MK the only one I can think of is Tekken 5, which was the last good Tekken game.
Street Fighter 4 and Soulcalibur 4 were the last great ones imo, interesting they came out the same year and were both the 4th entries.
There was a mantra for a while online where the consensus seemed to be that Goldeneye either aged poorly or was never good, but that seems to have faded. I think it was just faggot console warring all along.
