“It's no surprise, though, that players who moved on to the Super NES still go back to play their favorite classics on the NES. For one more shot at Bowser. One more trip through Hyrule. One more battle with the Mother Brain. They may be eight-bit, but they're still gaming at its best. It's the games themselves - not the graphics, not the music, not the pure processing power - that make the fun. And the NES made it all happen.”
