Year or so ago I fired up my old NES with Mike Tyson's Punch Out. Shit is a lot easier than I remember. Super Macho Man and Tyson used to give me issues as a kid but I crushed it one sitting think I only got knocked down once.
The Famicom looks like one of those ripoff consoles you can buy for $20. I much prefer the NES look. But honestly if I had grown up with the Famicom and the same question was asked I'd probably say the Famicom. Nostalgia is overwhelming sometimes. hehWhich design do you prefer? NES or Famicom?
I much prefer the small size and design of the Famicom but I don't like the fact that the controllers are permanently attached to the console. I also like the red/gold colors of the Famicom more than the boring NES colors. The controllers also look like they can be more comfortable to hold in the hands since the corners are rounded and not square like the NES controllers. Having a speaker on the second controller is pretty cool and I don't know why Nintendo would remove that on the NES version. Also, having an eject button is also a much better design choice than having to put the cart in and push down until it locks in place on the NES version console. I like the small design of the Famicom carts as well but I don't like that there are no labels at the top of the carts. The NES carts got that part right, at least. The NES looks like it was designed to look like a VCR which I believe was intentionally done by Nintendo so that it doesn't look like a toy since they just released almost right after the video game crash and wanted a more serious approach to video games. They even used the term "Entertainment System" and not "Video Game System" just so there's no reference to the video game crash. At the end of the day, what really matters are the amazing games we got to play on this timeless machine. Thanks to Nintendo, we are still playing games to this day and the gaming industry is bigger than ever!
Patterns. As you get older, especially from sub-10 youth forward, you tend to notice and appreciate patterns more. Punch Out is literally a game of pattern recognition, and it makes complete sense that you would be better at that type of game as an adult.
Yeah I figured me not being 7 years old anymore was a bit of a help. Game was still fun, if a bit clunky. Normally I only boot up my old systems to play some of my favorite old RPG's.
Punch Out was a super easy game though and it had perfect controls unlike Top Gun that had terrible controls and was boring as hell!
Yeah I love the design of the t-bone controller. Looks really nice. I've never seen one in real life though. They're impossible to come by.I've always been a fan of the AV Famicom design...
I know, I know, I probably shouldn't be shitcanning people for trolling in screenshots...but, as you say,"fuck it". The Rickshaw is fun as hell and it's really nice to look at when retards are locked in there.
