Super Mario Brothers is like wearing demi's mom's shit-streaked panties

[TVC15]

I forgot how good this game is.  The controls are absolutely perfect and the design is so simple, but it does so much with it.  This murders like, anything non-multiplayer that I have played in the past year.

I can't believe games used to be this incredible.  What the fuck happened?  PC-inspired games like FPS and multiplayer stuff aside, gaming has really gone down the toilet in the past decade.  And just a week ago, I would've said anyone spouting off stuff similar to this would be a nostalgia whore, and I definitely ain't one of them.  I don't even think I liked original SMB when it was originally out.

I'm bitter that 1 difficult game comes out per year.  You just like easy games and ones where you hunt for sailors.

I've been playing through the Famicom Mini Super Mario Brothers 2 (Japan) GBA version on the DS, that game is HARD!

I just like easy games? Ahahaha. Come on, you can try harder than that. You're talking to the scmuck who's been playing Gunstar Heroes on the hardest difficulty, has beaten DMC1 and 3 on their hard modes respectively, and a whole lot of other shit. I praise a game when it's hard.

However, there's a significant difference between hard because it requires strategy and hard just to be hard.

To tell you the truth, most of those really old games weren't hard; they were tacky , erroneous, and lacked polish to a fault. Because a game is easier does not mean it's worse. I prefer having FUN, and if an easy game can give me that when a supposedly "hard" game can't, then so be it.

Cool, enjoy your easy games!

I'm not saying I don't appreciate today's ass easy games, I'm saying that meeting actual difficulty has made me appreciate these old games more, and difficulty is MISSING from today's games.  When a game is actually difficult, like DMC3 and NG, it makes NEWS.  OMG a game DARES to have actual difficulty!

My theory is that designers got a load in their pants over 3d games and their cameras, and decided to tone down the difficulty in order to give the gamers a greak when dealing with cams.  The design philosophy to make things slightly easier then carried over to 2d and old-skool games because the designers got used to it.

Note that PC-styled games like FPSes are still about as difficult as they ever were.

Super Mario Brothers is easy.
