Why do people say it's difficult to go back to NES games? Just use a newer controller with a thumbstick and pretend you're playing an indiepixel game and things work just fine.

A handful of autistic zoomer trash does not mean a ton of people say this.
It's a combination of moronic things that zoomers have trouble with:
-They emulate older games using shitty controllers like 8bitdo which have notoriously bad d-pads and lots of other issues
-They also emulate on terrible modern tv's, input lag is very high and makes games far more difficult than they're supposed to be
-They don't understand the concept of developing skill in games, so they expect to be able to beat NES games quickly because they heard they are short. When in reality you have to play them repeatedly for weeks to build up the skill.
-They abuse save states which actually makes games feel harder than they really are, and using states ensures you never ever get any better
etc
Crusty Twitter boomers do the same thing though.
Why would anyone play the NES version of Metroid 1 in 2022 when the Famicom version is so much btter? It baffles me.
It took only a few hours for me to practice with save states and 1cc Super C with only a few deaths. If it takes weeks you're either a child or only playing ten minutes when you're home from waging before sleeping
>Practicing with save states removing all the tension from hard or new parts in 15~60 minute games
>Why would anyone play the NES version of Metroid 1 in 2022 when the Famicom version is so much btter?
I like the Famicom version as well, but the NES version gets ocer criticized.
Most old games are simplistic and boring, there's a reason if only trannies actively play them
Only trannies make new games.
I have the real thing and an old tv, nes games are fun and people only say they're hard because normoids are used to modern gaming """QoL""" handholding
Not me, I use emulators on PC with mouse and keyboard.
Right click with mouse jumps.
Left click with mouse attacks.
WASD for directions such as climbing up and down, moving left and right, or sometimes walking up or downwards.
Other keys for other stuff.
If game has joystick then mouse movement becomes the main one.
your example is a 2D platformer - a genre that hasn't progressed at all from the SNES
NES RPGs are near unplayable in comparison
DQIII is fantastic, but then again I played the remake.
Metroid 1 is unironically the best Metroid.

I wish there was a Mii Gunner costume for the suitless Samus from Metroid 1.

14 - 14 is ?
this is why i still prefer it over zero mission
Zero mission also has larger sprites and more overt-hand holding in the level design. The original needs a proper remake without any of that.
It's difficult because Metroid on NES is janky and not good. Half the screens are copy pasted to make sure you get lost, enemies hit through screen transitions, and no matter what you only respawn with 30 HP.

Nice argument
>can't beat a 40 year old game despite the internet literally spoonfeeding strats and tips
You can use a guide, Anon. It's okay.

Anon, they are making excuses for themselves.
nes is poop
SNES is where teh kino starts
I absolutely agree but I'm also angry at this statement
only SMB, CV 1,3, megaman and a couple other games hold up
CV is honestly great
I don't care if they hold up I love nes games
NES was more experimental and had a greater variety of titles, especially if you go into famicom games.
The only thing that's makes it more difficult is the lack of saving for some games and limited number of continues. Zoomer normalgays are just impatient.
I've been playing almost only nes for a month. I'm a gen 5 kid, so I never expirienced nes on original hardware:
- I played gb color till ds but playing with the equivalent of X O is torture (expecially when O is jump). My standard is Square X.
- many games are harder not because muh skills but because they last 40min (I say this even if Castlevania 1 is my favorite game).
- many games are hardest because frick USA version that rapes kids who just wanna borrow games for the weekend.
- you need to be an entusiast to know what to play beside killer apps, since most gems are jap only or fan translated only.
- you need to actually go and read the manual sometimes (I don't remember what shmup you change weapon/speed with select)
- since we are talking shmups, button mashing is not fun.
- you need to be conscious on when to save (state) because you can't save, and going by with a 16 letter password is the second dictionary definition trash.
- people say they like pixel art, but nes is "not enough pixels".
Also, maybe the most important thing, is the tolerance for bullshit of any kind the games will throw at you. This is more a fortitude thing in general.
NES games are too symbolic, for me, it's the SNES
>too symbolic
What do you mean by this?
he means it's sometimes too cryptic to tell what the frick things are, due to 8 bit graphics
Can you give a specific example? This was a problem with a lot of Atari and Coleco games, but 8bit graphics were refined enough for proper distinctions.
graphics aren't detailed enough to be 100% sure of what you're looking at at the first glance
the NES just didn't have enough colors and resolution
Rygar is pretty cool and weird
Because crts have instant input delay while tvs and monitors have exponentially bigger input delays
OK. Now try playing Ghosts N Goblins NES and tell me that it's as easy as modern indie pixelshit.
just use savestates bro
the NES is 27 years old, it's older than most people on this board
>NES released in 1983
I think you need to redo the math in your head a little bit.
NES received its final official games in 1994. That was 28 years ago. The Famicom released in 1983.
I hate thumbsticks. They'll never be ergonomic because of how the human thumb works.
