Forum:The Classics

Hello everyone! I am new here to this wikia, but rest assured that i am a die-hard Nintendo fan. I simply wanted to disscus the classics with you. I was thinking, and i want to go back to that time when Super Mario Land just hit the shelves, or when the 64 first debuted. That was a much more exciting time, with new adventures around every corner. One of the biggest things back then was the transition from two dimensions of gaming, to three. The first three dimensional game that i ever played was Super Mario 64. It was like a dream. Never before had something this good come from a gaming company. From then on in, i was hooked. After playing through Super Mario 64, i went on to Starfox 64. Another thrilling ride. Many more great Nintendo games came during that time: Yoshi's Story, Kirby and the Crystal Shards, Turok(although the sequels would lead to Acclaim's downfall), and many others. However, these days, great things like that dont show up like they used to. Practically every game since 2001 has been a remake or copy of an older idea. Thats when i started to go back to the retro days. First, i replayed my 64 favorites. Then, i bought a Sega Genesis(forgive my blasphemy)and played classics such as Sonic and X-men. Then, i returned to my roots and bought an NES(not being able to find a resonably priced Super Nintendo). But, what brought me out of my funk was Super Mario Sunshine. It has all of the old qualities of Super Mario 64 but it adds new features such as the FLUDD. However, when it was completed, i had nothing left to feast upon. I returned again to retro gaming, occaisionally waking up for some Super Smash Bros. Melee battles. Seeing that i could play all of my favorite games on one system, i lunged for the Wii and purchased many old titles on the Virtual Console. Then, i lapsed back into retro. That was until, a full 6 years later, that i chanced upon Super Mario Galaxy. I tred towards it warily, uncertaint of its capabilities. But, it turns out that it is great, perhaps better than Sunshine on its closeness to Super Mario 64. And i love the new features, ans i am happy that the return of Mario's various suits. If you would like to discuss this with me, please do so.
