None of these newer consoles have battle toads

He isn't 100% entirely wrong about most of the NES library being not worth playing but even then you can actually say the same about other consoles even the current ones tbh.

Isn't that literally what killed the Wii?

There's better writing in Solar Jetman than in pretty much any Kotaku article tbh

Easy and cheap to develop games for, huge userbase... similar to what happened to PS2 and this should apply to the NES too.

I'm starting to notice this with the Switch, very indie friendly development system, there's a lot of games getting physical releases from non AAA publishers. Thankfully most of them have been good (we're not going to talk about Troll...) but variety for any console always leads to hidden gems to discover later. This is what makes the NES and SNES library so unique, there's lots of games people overlooked and continue to overlook to this day and are still finding out are good and worth the time to track down and play. Good examples are games like Whomp Em, Power Blade, Kickmaster, Vice Project Doom, Shatterhand, Journey to Silius, Astyanax, Shadow of the Ninja, Panic Restaurant, Rockin' Kats, Kickle Cubicle, etc. The list goes on and on.

The people who are supposed to buy this are collectors and people with a lot of nostalgia for the system. Not you.

They just cant handle older games, no long-ass loading times so they can "mentally prepare", no achievements every few seconds to congratulate them.

But worst of all, they didnt get any freebies!
