They're both too simple and archaic to go back to nowadays. Gaming didn't really start until the PSX, and even that's being charitable, I really loved playing SOTN so I tried out the SNES game Super Castlevania 4 or whatever... it's just too hard for me, and it's boring because all you do is combat. Where's the exploration? It's basically a one-hour long arcade quarter-muncher, fucking dogshit, half of the games are simple arcadeshit that barely last an hour, nothing but muscle memory and memorization, no strategy or tactics are needed to beat these games, not even skill, just repetition, and in many cases it's mere button mushing.

I mean I really was surprised how short Super Castlevania IV is too. It really is only like an hour long, I can't really believe people paid good money for that back in the day.

GBA is a nice middle ground. 32bit 2D pixel art plus all the QoL of the 00s games learned from the 80s and 90s games.

I have fun with them. It's cool to see what mechanics and whatnot stuck and what didn't. RPG's from this era have barely aged too.

SCIV is like baby's first action platformer, it's that easy, so you must be a true 'tard... if you want exploration play Super Metroid you retarded broccoli head

As someone said NES games are more fun a lot of the time because they're leaner and not padded out with cluttered graphics effects. A lot of 4th gen games look cool but all that tinsel doesn't actually make for better gameplay.

The fact that you didn't play SotN Ultimate Edition for the Saturn proves you're a fake gamer and you know nothing about anything.

There's actually quite a bit of truth to this. RPGs seems to appeal hard to a specific kind of person who isn't smart enough to see how much actual strategy, improvisation and planning there is in games like action games and FPS, and prefers an actually more limited kind of game that fakes strategic depth by shoving tons of menial stats and busywork involving swapping out equipment/items/abilities for a given scenario.This looks smarter to someone who can't get good enough at games with real time positioning to see how tactical they can be, because the options RPGs shove in your face are just much more obviously 'there' as meaningful decisions compared to figuring out subtle ways to trick your enemy.

SNES was more of a transitional console. There were still arcade style 30-60 minutes games, but less so than on Genesis, and most of the more popular games like SMW, YI, ALTTP, DKC series etc were several hours long. That's the format that would take hold in the next generation.

why do retarded trannies care so much about game length? its crazy how some people absolutely need every single game to be some 10+ hour slogslop, as if every game that does that isn't like 8+ hours of hot air. i'd much rather play magical quest's 6 levels again than wario land 2's 14 hours snorefest
