I didnt mean those kinds of 'adventure' games I meant like Zelda type games. There arent many of those anyways but thats what i was talking about. sorry if I confused you. I am not really bigon RPGs either so I guess I should have re-read your post too. But no I mean theres so many types of games the GC was lacking and I just hope the Rev does a better job of filling in the gaps. I guess its hard for me to describe what i mean because over the years different genres sprang up and the meanings started to change. I am always looking for games that play like the games I grew up with and similar to games I already enjoy.
I like to try new stuff also but I am used to playing certain types of games and I always look forawrd to getting games like that and there just deosnt seam to be manyof the kinds of game I like anymore. Its not just Gc its ever system but it seams like a lot of the games I wanted to try out didnt make it to GC and arent likely to make it to rev unless things start going differently. I see how things are looking up on teh surface but when I look deeper than that I see that it isnt so promising.
Maybe its not the games maybe its me, maybe I am getting older and not as into video games as I used to be. I have always been a person to play games in a series because I like to go with what i am familiar with. I like to play Mega Man and Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat and Castlevania games because they have always been around and will always have some familiaraity to them.
The biggest thing about Rev that DOES interest me and givces me plenty of reasons to not worry about the new games IS the Virtual Console, I actualy plan on spending more time playing the old games than the new games, considering I spend more time playing my SNES and NES now more than my GC anyways. Its like the new games never live up to the old games so I always go back.
Thats why i hated mario Sunshine, it wasnt anything liek previous mario games and ai felt betrayed playing it, it was like Nintendo hada this game that may have been fun to play I ddint try it for very long, but since it didnt have ANYTHING at all related to Mario I just couldnt get into it, all the familiar sights I was used to seeing in Mario games were missing and it felt wierd.
I dont think I will go back and replay Super mario Bros anytime soon on the rev since I just got it for GBA a couple months ago and spend a lot of time playing it there, but IU do ecpect to goback and play a lot of those child hood favorites that are hard to track down that I have been missing. My NES selection is so pitiful right now it sucks because NES games are hard to come by, unless your willing to eff around with ebay which I am not. I always ramble on like this when I talk abot video games because vidoe games for me isnt just sit down and play a game to have fun, its a way to escape form the real world once in a while AND to go back and rspark nastalgic feelings and rememeber thinsg form my past.
See I am a person who moved aroudn a lot as a kid, way too much to be honest, and nothing ever stayed the same for very long, my life is always filled with instability, so I always go back to teh 1 thing that never changes, and that is video games. Now they are changing the way games are played and it worries me to death. I dont want to play a video game that deosnt even feel liek avideo game because it defeats the purpose of playing video games.
If i was still a child and I just played cuz they are fun and what not it would be different but I have other things to do so I dont get much time to play games so when i do I want the experience to be worth something to me. Game Cube has offered a hand full of GREAT experiences that have managed to satisfy me to apoint, yet it was been lacking in so many areas I am familiar with its like i sometimes wish i had bought PS2 and got all those games, but then I would be mising out on teh good Nintendo games.
So its a catch 22 for me, except I have hatred for Sony and just distrust of Microsoft so I stick to Nintendo who I do lose faith in but am Always surprised at how they keep making great games.
I dont mean to go off forever like that its just I some times wonder why I even play video games in the first place and I am startiung to have second thoughts about the Rev anyways, maybe i want to spend my time doing more important things, yest I still want to geta rev because i want to have access to the classics. Anyways I will wait and see what happens and if the games are interesting enough to intice me then who knows I might enjoy the thing, but for now all I care about for Revb IS the VC and maybe Mario 128 if they dont scew it up. I will not enjoy it if there are not Goombas and Koopas and Mushrooms and Bricks yu bash with oru head and Gold COins and a Gaol at teh end of each level and all the other things that make Mario games Mario games, and I hope for the return of Luigi and maybe tehy will realize that they can do a 3d 2 player game liek the old one you knwo TUREN BASED. Anyways its struff liek that um but thats all I have to say on this topic now I propabaly said to much already.
