NES games are the classical music of gaming. Sure, some people enjoy them, but I would bet that the vast majority would rather play 2019 AAA titles.

- TulliusCicero 8y agoIt's not a perfect comparison, because arguably "NES" is now more of a style than a genre. For example, Shovel Knight is a NES-styled game, but its genre is action-platformer. And "2019 AAA game" is neither a genre nor a style, so the comparison you're making here is even weirder.
- grawprog 8y agoI dunno...I have kind of the opposite feeling about them. I enjoy playing nes games more often these days because I find them easier to get into. I turn it on press start and within about 10-30 seconds i'm playing a game. With AAA games replace the seconds with minutes. Which oddly, is more like classical music to me. Modern music tends to be around 3 minutes, there's no long intros or different sections. It's just press play, bam music. With classical music, it's broken into movements, with long introductions, or interludes with single instruments or some such a thing. I know that wasn't quite the point of the comparison, it was just an odd thought that came to mind.
