I won't comment on age but those who lived through the Sega-Nintendo war lived through savage times

And yet there is a certain nostalgia for that era now

Indeed. I respected Sega. A gaming company. Making gaming machines. No ulterior motives. Pretty refreshing.

(and yes, we geezers have Zelda save files on cartridges that are older than the "mature" gamers out there..)(ha!)

Are you sure they're still there? Don't they run down after a few decades? :p

I remember being pissed off when MK1 came out censored on SNES, I played the Genesis version and wasn't quite as pissed off anymore.

My best friend across the street had a Genesis, and I had the SNES. We'd trade gaming time at each others' houses. The anger wasn't really there for us for stuff like that. Ignorance really was bliss..

I was pissed when I discovered it was offered as and exclusive to NEC/Hudson for the turbo, but management passed on it cause "No one wants fighting games"

Oh the tears it would have caused, and the duo would have pumped out a pretty damn good conversion

"Gonna make you sweat 'til you bleed!"

EGM used that as the headline for one of their articles on the matter. As salty as I was about the whole thing at the time, that headline still cracks me up to this day.

A little more on topic, wsippel just posted this in the other thread. I wasn't aware of the fact that Nintendo had its own engine for the Wii U it was allowing other studios to use, unless I'm reading this wrong.

From a technical standpoint, Monolith is up there as well. The Xenoblade engine is very impressive. And from the little info available, it seems Nintendo has a shared technology pool and a shared, supposedly amazing engine every studio can use and add to (also available to licensees).

Is it new or something they've always used?

They've had one for every console.
The problem is that most developers (outside of Nintendo) don't like using it, since well... it only works on one system.

War and economic pressure had become an old song-and-dance of "Genesis Does" and Genesisn't" routine for soldiers on both sides

When they were tired of battle they would go to these places called arcade where you could test your mettle in videogames. And people were dirt poor back then, so you only needed 25 cents to play a game. Developers were pretty generous back then. For example, rather than one dragon, they would give us 2 dragons.

Now you get maybe half a dragon at retail and you pay for the other one-and-a-half dragons as a premium. And you need online for multiple dragons action.

Proud representative of best Nintendo-GAF! Weird to think I could be closing in on becoming a member of thirty-something Nintendo-GAF when next-next gen occurs.

Ah ok I wasn't aware of that. Good point though that unless they're getting an exclusive title it serves no real purpose.

Yeah, but that seems too good to pass up if I were going to make an exclusive Wii U game, unless it's hard to use or something. Nintendo games almost always look amazing.
