I grew up with the SNES being my first console, never gamed much on the NES which we never had. So as a result for me I prefer the game library on the SNES more than I do the NES. So if Nintendo ever releases a neato mini SNES (or N64) I'm jumping all over that, but will pass on the mini NES.

MUCH respect to the NES but def not my fave or do I consider G.O.A.T. But I understand why some may feel that way. Had some good memories on this and it Helped the industry in the best way possible among other things.

I grew up with the NES, Atari 2600, Sega Master System, Colecovision, Intellivision, Sega Genesis, Turbo Graphic 16, and SNES, and I agree that the NES is the greatest console of all time. Most people I knew, kept playing their NES right up until the PS1 released.

The games were so addictive and they were just pure fun. Many of the games were couch co-op, and it was something common, that everyone sat around and played with their friends. The great thing about the NES was that the hardware was damn near bullet proof. No other console of that time had the massive library of quality games that the NES had.

The NES was so impressive in fact, that it is still the 2nd best selling Nintendo home console of all time. I can't wait for the NES Mini, day one for me!

Its the system that brought console gaming back from the dead, with it being marketed as an entertainment system+toy(peripheral) instead of just a gaming console, which it was, but that was to separate itself from the stigma of the console gaming crash of 82" , it also defined my childhood, great memories

maniacmayhem2819d ago

Agreed, followed by the SNES.

Sony States We Will Know More About the "Long-Term Vision" of PlayStation Later This Month

Sony has confirmed that there is something happening later this month and it involves SIE which is the division that operates PlayStation.

Skuletor7h ago

My guess, is they were waiting for the new CEO position to be finalized before their next showcase and now that's out of the way.

neutralgamer19926h ago

Yes I think you are right. They wanted the leadership in place hopefully now they can give a strong showing of what’s to come

S2Killinit6h ago

Its not confirmed that this will involve game announcements.

Cacabunga6h ago

Tbh this claim doesn’t reassure me at all..

@S2Killinit

If this is about games that worries me because I thought they were walking away from announcing titles far in advance. For them to say 'Long Term Vision' sounds like we are getting announcements years in advance. I don't want that. Lets hope the long term vision part refers to their goal for the company and that they also give us info on projects reaching fruition in the short term.

Also, this is gonna be where we find out that they are going full PC day and date (or greatly reduced if they don't have the capacity at their studios). Its gonna happen. Why? Because all you have to do is look at Helldivers... fastest selling PlayStation game ever. And they make good games. They will sell.
Now we can fight over whether this will hurt the console space. I don't think so as long as they provide an option that will allow people to come close to maxing out their graphics... ergo the PRO.

Sounds good, PS5 Pro preorders. Let’s do this!

Crows906h ago

I don't get it....we barely got any ps5 exclusives and people already want a refresh??

crazyCoconuts6h ago

When they show GTA6 on the Pro I think you'll get it

VersusDMC5h ago

Pretty sure we got 5 console exclusives this year so far and 3rd party games took advantage of the PS4pro last gen so it will happen with the PS5pro as well.

romulus235h ago

I don't get it either but people get new iphones the second they come out even though they just bought the previous one which works just fine. Some people just want the latest and greatest no matter what and have the income to do it. If the improvement to games is significant enough I may get one but probably not at launch.

-Foxtrot5h ago

Exactly

I will always be behind the idea that one of the reasons why this gen doesn't feel as much of a leap is because we kind of got spoilt with the PS4 Pro last gen. It was like a teaser to this gen.

Looking back on a technological leap after 7 years is way more impressive than if it was 3 or so.

Big things right around the corner.

purple1017h ago

Almost optimistic to say, but those leaks of the 6 cancelled games (games that were not even announced)

yeh, maybe some didn't actually get cancelled after all

notachance7h ago

as a long time ps fans I hope they still put great single player games front and center, make your live service games if you have to but don’t force your 1st party studios to make something they don’t want to.. redfall is an unfortunate example of a good studio forced to basically destroy themselves.

Eonjay1h ago

Good points. How would you feel if Sony decided to put their single player games on PC day and date? This would allow their studios making single player games to recoup more money to keep the games coming. If it works with GaaS why not single player?
