The funny thing about nostalgia is you probably already own the game, and are hesitant to buy it.
But if you never played it, it may not sound appealing, or it may not be enjoyable to play.
For me, the only title that is awesome that I don't own is Gunstar Heroes.

I would like to see rpgs I never got a chance to play, neogeo titles that were too expensive and games that never made it to the us but should have.

I think Castlevania III is the best NES episode.

I find this true with me on the early 8 bit generation.

I never owned a Nintendo 8 bit. I did own a Super Nintendo and I want to revisit all those classic games I loved.

But to me it isn't that the 8 bit games aren't worth playing because I don't have nostalgia...but the 8 bit games were hardly ever as polished and beautiful as the Super Nintendo and Genesis era games.

What amazes me is that I still find those 2D Sprite games from the 16 bit era to be beautiful. Not all of them, but several games still hold up graphically and have engaging game play.

I personally, am dropping almost all NES games on my list to buy except for the choice few...and I am moving to supporting SNES games more than even the Nintendo 64 games because of this simple fact.

Yes it is a remake.

I didn't own an SNES so I'm looking forward to playing those games I missed.

Because they already own SC4 and are interested in playing the first game of the series, which they never have.

EDIT: I just read that it was a remake. In that case, I wouldn't be interested in it.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #1108 on:** April 30, 2007, 06:48:58 AM »

Unlocks all multiplayer modes? PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!!!!

Does Legend of Mystical Ninja have as good a music as Goemon on the N64? Are they related at all?

I have no clue, I was hoping it enabled RUMBLE. However it did not on Wiimote, or GameCube controller

I really want the n64 mystical ninja that one was great.

It's not so much a remake as it is a re-imagining.

I've heard it improves classic controller analog controls. Which will be a godsend if true; the game is difficult to control because the controls are so sensitive.

Ok, I can agree with that. Still, it's superior! Though I can understand wanting both, just not the original over IV.

vudu · « **Reply #1114 on:** April 30, 2007, 09:41:57 AM »

They're two pretty different games. If someone isn't really a fan of the old school Castlevanias I can understand how they still might want the first one for nostalgic reasons but not the second one if they didn't play it 15 years ago.

Ian Sane · « **Reply #1115 on:** April 30, 2007, 10:10:17 AM »

Super Castlevania IV is to Castlevania as Star Fox 64 is to Star Fox. Technically it's the same story and some of the areas are similar but feel like different games. Metroid and Metroid: Zero Mission is a similar comparison.

Ceric · « **Reply #1116 on:** April 30, 2007, 10:45:05 AM »

And now a simile. Come on Ian... Daddy needs a Metaphor.

I'll have to download that update.

I've heard it tightens up control. I'll probably investigate tonight, before or after Heroes.

The Star Fox™64 update provides secret online multi player, SATIN!

The Fox update improves classic controller performance.

Castlevania is to Super Castlevania IV as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is to Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ?
