Excerpt:

"Last week a popular rumor swept across the internet that a new Crash Bandicoot game was on the way.

That's a part, but Nintendo's games stand on their own without nostalgia as well, or else kids growing up today wouldn't be enjoying them as much as adults do now.

Alos884078d ago

Old Nintendo games will probably always be fun to a new audience, my little brothers can play Mario 3 for hours, and they weren't even born when the NES was released.

No FanS Land4078d ago

well, the shadow moses act in MGS4 is quite nostalgic the first time you play it.

Ares84HU4078d ago

Nostalgia never works??? Than why do I get that great feeling when playing PS1 games??

Irishguy954078d ago

You cna still go and play Great games you missed back then..they'll still be great. Played Suikoden 2 recently enough/ great game

I have some many fond memories as a 10 year old gamer from back then! The best of times!

Dfooster613d ago

Yeah that is a good choice. Great times

Snakeeater25613d ago

Lol Nintendo 64 … talk about a shitty year for gaming

Old McGroin613d ago

The N64 was amazing at the time, how old are you, 12?

CobraKai613d ago

Mario 64, Mario Kart, WaveRace. They’re prolly too young to appreciate em. My kids love the N64.

Terry_B613d ago

No..1996 was not a good start for the N64. The system had a lousy start in comparison to the SNES, Playstation and probably even the Sega Saturn.

CobraKai613d ago

So…. Nevermind the first time Resident Evil or Tomb Raider was released, a damn near arcade perfect port of Tekken 2, Quake, Wipeout, Crash Bandicoot, Super Mario RPG, Nights, Panzer Dragoon Zwei? It’s shitty cuz the old N64 is it?

BrainSyphoned613d ago (Edited 613d ago )

More of a 97 person myself.
FF7, Symphony of the Night, Gran Turismo, Grand Theft Auto, Dynasty Warriors, Diablo, Fallout, Tomb Raider 2, Mega Man Legends, GoldenEye, Turok, Wing Commander Prophecy, Star Fox 64, Einhander, Tobal 2, Bushido Blade, Colony Wars, Ultima Online. Was a great year to start working at Funcoland.

You beat me to it. I loved both years, but 97 was one of my favorite years ever.

Marcello613d ago

2013 was a good year too. Dead Space 3, The Last of Us, GTA5, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Tomb Raider reboot, Bioshock Infinite, Batman: Arkham Origins, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Grid 2 & more.

Limitedtimestruggle612d ago

Dead Space 3? That game only deserves to be on rock-bottom lists. In my honest opinion.

Marcello612d ago

Its is very Marmite that game but to me it was only that love story nonsense that was bad, really bad.
