Nostalgia happens because you remember the good and forget the bad. People remember Mario 3 but forget Mario is Missing.
In 20 years, people will say, “Remember when they made good games like Baldur’s Gate 3 rather than the trash that is Baldur’s Cash Grab?” Kids today will wax poetic about how the 2020s was the last good decade for gaming.
The truth is, there will always be good and bad games.
I'm nostalgic for playing Among Us with extended family members during the pandemic, and that was just a few years ago
Yeah but you won’t have nostalgia playing among us in 2038 when the servers are shut down
I'll have to go find some community run patch
Halo CE style
Larian have always been pretty good really hope they don't go that way
That said they've got that wizards of the coast money behind them too
Mario 3 is still a good game today, and I know some kids that weren't anywhere near born when it came out that still loved it.
Nostalgia isn't the only reason to enjoy old games and "the bad" shouldn't be assumed to be there for purposes of false equivalency platitudes. Even just counting predatory monetization, the modern game industry is worse on average than it used to be and its desired profit margins and methods of profit are different and worse than before with a more focused exploitation model.
What do you mean Mario is missing in Mario 3?
Mario is Missing was its own game. It was… not good.
Wow. I totally missed that one despite being a gamer with a SNES in that era. I guess I never saw it on store shelves or mentioned in the game magazines for good reasons.
It was released on both NES and SNES, as well as PC and Mac!
I played the SNES version on an emulator. I don’t know how far I got, just that I was walking around doing nothing.
Anyway, here’s a preview!
