I like to play a little bit of SNES before going to sleep, it cools me down after hard working day. I enjoy the simplicity of the picture rather than ps4 or any other modern consoles that would only pump me up.
Some people are "Modern-only Gamers" while people like myself love retro games. The problem with only playing recent releases is that you will miss out on games like Zelda: A link to the Past on SNES, or Mario 3 on NES. Maybe modern gamers don't like the challenge of retro games which are harder than modern games.
My problem with this was I had played a majority of the games on this cartridge when I was growing up. If you’ve never played them I would definitely recommend it but in my case it just felt like living in the past. The games I hadn’t played before were ok but not worth keeping in my opinion. With that being said I’d like to find a retro pi or emulator to play some PS1 thru GameCube games I missed out on.
Totaly agree! Me and my brother tried this new remake of TMNT (Shredder's Revenge) and finished it wihout saves in one try, to the point it felt kinda meh, while in the past we would spent months trying to crack just one more level in original NES TMNT games. Good times
Yeah, different strokes for different folks. Unfortunately a lot of modern games that come out just seem too homogenized to me. How many open-world third-person AAA action-RPG with light platforming and/or puzzle-solving elements games can one person play in a year? Elden Ring last year was such a treat... but I couldn't play the new God of War for more than an hour or so (felt nearly identical to the last one that I completed on PS4), and ditto with Hogwarts. I love a lot of modern games, but to me the truly special releases are few and far between (and are typically smaller studio or indie releases). Likewise, I cherish a lot of the classic titles as evergreen material that I can come back to over and over -- especially some of the classics that I never played as a kid. The artistry of retro game development and the skill that was necessary to rise above the technical trappings of a given console's architecture is a topic that remains truly fascinating to me.
Well said! I agree with your take on AAA modern gaming and have taken more of a quality vs quantity approach these days whether the game be retro or modern.
Im gettiing this snes cart and a snes in two weeks with a hdmi pound cable I wanna relive my childhood never had a snes growing up I always wanted one and im gonna get one lol :)
I have a retrobit trio with SNES, Genesis and NES multi cart for my 6 year old and he really enjoys it. Good for me so I'm not constantly changing out my original cartridges.
If it isn't for you, it isn't for you. I play my Genesis and my Genesis Everdrive card (similar I am sure to what you had for the SNES) as much as my modern system. Love discovering games that I missed.
When I go back and forth between retro games and modern releases, it does take a while to get in the right mindset for each. Once adjusted, though, these old games still kick ass! It does really help when able to use save states, as far as making the games more accessible. It's worth buying or downloading the manual to get some of that extra knowledge, like how the Zelda 1 NES manual walks you through the first two dungeons, by which point you now have some items and fighting chance of moving forward.
Even for someone that loves a lot of retro games, you gotta ask yourself… how many games on one particular system do I even like? My ideal retro game collection would end up covering little bits and pieces of systems across gaming history. It just doesn’t make sense for me to own most specific retro consoles anymore. The only exception I’ve found are modded 3DS and Wii U, just for the fact that each of them natively play 3 generations of handheld and console games, respectively, and can emulate a great deal aside from that (the Wii U in particular can play pretty much everything before it’s time, all in one box.) or if nothing else, you always have your computer.
I totally get why you would get rid of it. I think the biggest issue is that you had a cart full of 900! games. Lets say....850 of them you probably didn't play when growing up (a generous assumption) so there's no nostalgia connected to them. Add the fact that the majority of the rest, like you said, don't hold up today. I have a large collection of games on my raspberry pi but each game was carefully chosen, from games that I grew up with to games that I later discovered and enjoyed. It's easy to dump a million games on a cart or emulation device but then what's the point when you most likely won't play most of them anyways.
Don’t “add the fact.” That’s not a fact in the slightest, but a purely superficial and detracting way of pointing out how they represent the era in which they were made, a factor that should never be considered an imperfection, especially considering that games today are far more samey, busy, and nowhere near as cozy, varied, colorful, and unique as the ones here, so saying that they “don’t hold up today” is a terrible way to judge. As long as they’re fun, that’s all that matters. Saying that “the biggest issue is that you had a cart full of 900” about a 900-in-1 multicart is completely missing the selling point. Unless your standards are unreasonably high, there’s bound to be plenty of games that you didn’t grow up with that should be right up your alley, and considering that this cartridge contains the majority of the library of the greatest game console ever made, it’s the gift that keeps on giving!
The more I play modern games the more I appreciate the simplicity of retro gaming. Its nice when a gaming console just plays video games and doesn’t do 27 other things.
@@imfsresidentotaku9699 I think people misinterpret the video and what I'm trying to say. Which is it's pointless to just have the games if you're not truly interested in them. I thought this was for me but it wasn't. Playing older games on Switch is more enjoyable to me, playing my knockoff gameboy every now and then is also fun to me. This item in particular was something that I thought I would like but it turned out to be the nostalgia high that I was chasing.
i would enjoy those cartridges with 900 plus games if they din't have duplicates. it would be better if it had snes games the entire collection and nes collection all of them same for mini consoles with 100 thousand plus
You have a point, one of the hype is the nostalgia, but no continue try to finish one game is due with all information social media, social network we lost the skill to keep attention, the old games requieres to try and try the same repetitive task because the tech handicap no allow to have a red redemption. I'm the retro gaming a way to train my concentration and not look the found several times in middle of a game.
i'm 41...that's very close to what i think....so in those days i'm on steam/epic games/amazon gaming/etc and playing, for the 99% of my time, indie games, something that fells like old games, but with tight controllers and much more hours of fun....
Thanks for the vid, I too grew up in the SNES and Sega era and was wondering if I should buy one of these and clone system but was always worried if it was worth it. Maybe just leave those memories as a positive thing and move onto another one like a more modern day system and console.
I guess it depends on the person. I do occasionally play retro games on modern consoles, sometimes through emulation as well. For me it’s fun in short bursts.
@Sushix_Gamer I kind of figured, they sell these games on Amazon too. For me ill just be picking up where I left off, I'm not a gamer at all last console I had was the first Playstation and N64 but never got into it like that. I did always like playing the games from the retro era that's why I'm going to get the retro trio console see how I like it again I guess
@@imfsresidentotaku9699 multi game carts are OK, but 99 percent of the time people gravitate to games they once played. Not a lot of people out there learning how to play 30 year old games from scratch. I have 100s of games (the real thing) and I don't play them all, I only play the special ones or those I have nostalgia for.. All these retro pi and multi game units people are buying are just gathering dust because like you they only want to hear the jingle of the menu, die twice and turn it off again. I talk to 100s of people like that, especially people that run emulators. They get it running, show everyone how impressive it is, turn it off again lol.
This is kind of the point I was making. SNES had some great titles but I’ve played a good chunk of them and the new to me games I tried on the cartridge were just ok at best. The nostalgia is what got me to buy it but since I didn’t use it much I passed it on to someone who would.
@@atomiswave1971No way in hell is it anywhere near “99 percent of the time.” Surely, there must be a significant percentage of people curious and open-minded enough to also try out games new to them. If there are “not a lot of people out there learning how to play 30 year old games from scratch,” that’s on them for not being open to new experiences, or perhaps on you for underestimating people’s willingness to do so. You’re letting your 100s of games go to waste. What do you mean “like you”? I don’t “only want to hear the menu jingle play, die twice and turn it off again.” When I have access to a selection of games like this, I want to make the most of it, especially when it’s on the greatest video game console of all time with a rich and varied library to boot. Even with all the SNES games I’ve played, there are so many more I’d love to try out. Now that I think of it, all the over-generalizations you’re making must stem from you failing to understand that not everyone is you, especially considering that you’ve incorrectly assumed how I approach multi game carts like this just to prove your terrible point. You and those “100s of people” you talk to don’t realize that you’re sitting on the gift that keeps on giving.
