Not to take sides but I checked in a inflation calculator and it seem that while Malenko was correct how ever Howard was not completely out of the ball park as $35 in 1989 would be about 67.74 in 2016. I used to think Jaws for NES was a great game and very difficult. Looking back it wasn't difficult at all and does not hold up very well. |

Your right, I was just pointing out that inflation should be considered when comparing pricing from different decades. |

Terrible draw distances, low frame rates, muddy visuals that had too much blur, and that terrible thumbstick. The SNES is my all time favourite console, and I love Nintendo as a company. But I really don't get the love for N64. I thought I was alone. But now I know there's at least one other. :) |

Link to the past may stand up better visually then the later Ocarina of time, but both games were and still are excellent. It's a similar story with how the Sega Saturn holds up much better visually then the PS1 or N64. This is largely do to the fact the Saturn was built to be the greatest 2D system ever made, to that point of time. The technical capabilities that made the early 3D system great looking and new are also what makes them now look out dated and sad. Some of the N64 games are still great not because of what was, at the time of their release, technically or visually impressive tricks but despite what is now seen as dated look. Personally I would say Mario party, Smash brothers, & all the sports games are better left in the past. Start Fox64 & the Zelda games holds up well, last I checked. Mario kart 64 is somewhere in the middle. |
