How many people out there are finding themselves more compelled to play older generation systems and games over the latest generation systems? I love em all, and will take the time to play any and all of them. Just curious where everyone else is at this stage of gaming.
Games are games, but its natural to take interest in the next big thing. When it comes to old school gaming though I prefer it retro form with the original controller, plugging in the cart. Not Virtual Console.
I spend most of my time on the Wii games but there are some excellent cube games still to finish. The V.C gets a bash from time to time just for nostalgia. There are few games on there (apart from the TG ones) that i haven't already completed back in the day
i agree. i been going back to older games too. you gotta mix it up. plus every game that comes out on 360 or ps3 has so much shine in it i wanted to give my eyes a rest. old school is something you can always count on
I've been a diehard since the Coleco, and must admit I am simply all about fun. Most of the new systems and companies releasing games have lost touch with this fundamental concept. Graphics are for sure important, but the more "real" it gets, the less thought is being put into the creative element. I still love old school more than new school due to the fact that it took more thought to create a style in all areas of development. Limitations in hardware always leads to more refined concepts and interesting gameplay.

Shadow Of The Colussus and Okami are great examples of making the most with very little in 3D. Amazing design, amazing gameplay.
I was playing for awhile on my fatty PS2 but then I stopped to perserve what life is left in it till I can get a slim. But right now I notice I am playing on my gamecube and Xbox more then anything else and from time to time the SNES more often then anything else.
i like newer games, but i wish they were more challenging like the older ones. I don't want something frustratingly impossible, but something that's not a walk in the park. If only there were more games like ikaruga.

one game that is semi challenging is RE:4 when its on the higher difficultys since there are some parts you just keep dying at and just stuck on how to be fast enough to get through it.
All I play on the Wii nowadays is VC games, I still need to get a new WiFI USB for my Wii to download some games and to get back online with Mario Strikers Charged.
Well, I guess having both Twilight Princess and RE4 for Wii and still being at the beginning of both games while I play VC games constantly says it all. I'm not as hardcore as I used to be, but I have enough VC games to jump around to if I get tired of one.
