      Just read about that game now, sounds cool. Does it really play like a Metroidvania? I might try it tomorrow if so.

        Also check out Bio-Senshi Dan, it was localized as Bashi Bazook Morphoid Masher for the NES but wasn't released, but the translated and localized ROM is floating around.

    It had no good games other than computer ports like pirates and elite. Even zelda 2 felt more like a grind than an actual game.

    As a pro-Sony, anti-Nintendo guy, seeing Kojima's post about the Famicom birthday and how he revered it made me a bit angry.... but even I can appreciate the importance of it, past my own fanboyism.
    Happy bd, FC.

      Nintendo is a horrible company, as bad or more so than Sony. I don't like either though.
      But that's not Facicoms fault.

        Sony promotes LGBT shit all the time, so it comes with the territory.

            Why does the objective fact that the Famicom saved gaming make a small selection of giga spergs on this board lose their mind?

              It saved the US gaming market but the methods they used to do it also pissed off a lot of devs back in the day and essentially made Nintendo seem like the big bad guy back then.

                Ah yes Nintendo were such "bad guys" for not allowing their console to be open platform and erode consumer confidence with such stellar Atari 2600 software as Custer's Revenge and Beat 'em and Eat 'em.

                Psst, the Famicom is actually the NES, didn't know that? That's okay.

                Yeah but this thread is for the anniversary of the Famicom (1983), NES was a redesign of the Famicom released in the west in 1985.

        There was no crash in shithole countries because the "industry" there was comprised of teenagers making horrible games with two months dev time max.

          What? There was no video game industry in europe by 1987? Are you nuts?

          you realize companies like Argonaut and Rare were already making games in Europe in the mid 80's before the NES was even sold there? companies who would later make many well known Nintendo games for Nintendo

              Nintendo just contracted them because they were good developers, they didn't stop making games for other systems you know.

                Until 1994 when Rare became a Nintendo second party for a time.

                Sure, they weren't as good as before Nintendo, it was basically just a modern game studio at that point.

      The NES saved gaming. The N64 was crushed by the PS1.

      Good taste, anon. Both it and Adventure Island IV are worth playing through for open world platformer adventures.
