Memories are often better than the actual product. I think thats why many were upset with the new Star Wars movies! (I loved them all myself)
Anyway, I fired up my old NES emulator on my laptop today and played Punch Out for about 2 hours. Its amazing how the old simple games still hold up today. I trade in xbox 360 games like crazy, but I go back once a year to play Zelda, Mario, and Sonic all the time. Hopefully Street Fighter IV, which I'm getting today, will have that kind of staying power. I still play SFII on XBLA all the time. I actually think I spend more time on Live Arcade with PacMan, Galaga, and Street Fighter II HD Remix than I did on Halo or COD4!
I love me some new games, don't get me wrong, but sometimes it feels like watching a movie with a few button inputs here and there.
