If you are loving the retro then you need to get a wii.  Suprisingly, many of it's upcoming (and current) titles are 2d.  Metal Slug Anthology and Rampage Total Destruction come to mind.  Konami and Capcom seemed to have jumped on board as well, so I wouldn't be suprised if we see some castlevaina/megaman 2d goodness.  Wii Play's lineup, while simple is extremely retro.  Duckhunt, Combat and Pong?  I mean come on does it get any better than that?

On the other hand, you'll notice that the wii is suprisingly light on the fps'es.  I think this is a good thing as I refuse to buy another fps until they actually start innovating again. 

Also mario, zelda and metroid are fantastic in their 3d incarnations.  If you don't think so then I can only assumed you never had a gamecube. 

Oh did I menton that a 2d mario is coming to the wii?  Super Paper Mario is in the works and it looks to be a straight, old fashioned platformer this time. 


I guess what I'm saying is you have nothing to complain about because if you look in the right place (Nintendo headquarters) then what you are looking for is already out there.

If I play a game besides the classics then it would be Subspace Continuum. It's free, 2D and online.

funny, i do too! but lately ive found that playing them on a handheld is fine. for instance, dukenukem on the gp2x...

--- Quote ---I like 2d side scroll platformers!  Mario, Sonic, Metroid (Super Metroid! /drool) I like and can play these games alot, but they are frankly old, and I dont see anything like them coming out.  These games were made on old technology and the graphics reflect that.  With modern consoles/PCs we should be able to push Gorgeous sprites/textures etc and make some innovative games.  However I dont see ANYONE developing games of old anymore.  Well that is not exactly true, Ive seen a couple good looking games on the NintendoDS (dont own one yet,) is all my hope for new Good games dwindle down to a handheld system?

You really should consider picking up a DS.  It has an abundance of NEW games that fit exactly the type of game you like.  New Super Mario Bros. (totally back to side scrolling platformer), Castlevania (2 very good DS and several great GBA games as well), Metroid (went 3D on the newest DS but the GBA games were great 2d classic style), FF3(it's an remake of a Japanese FF that was never released stateside), Children of Mana (haven't had a chance to try this one yet, but looks good).

What Howard said about the Wii should hold up as well.

*Edit: Damn, I am an Nintendo Fanboy.

I truly Hate and despise First Person Shooters (FPS.)  Other than the allure of playing with your friends, I dont see the appeal of them.  Ive tried them, had some fun killing some friends in some, but after everyone leaves the game for RL stuff (kids, jobs, wife, etc) Im looking for something fun to play.

Oh ok, judge FPS games based on MULTIPLAYER, and with one fell swoop, dismiss them all.

I LOVE FPS games for the single-player experiences. A well made FPS puts you in the position of the protagonist, seeing things through their eyes. I like creeping around, and how some of the better FPS games take into account NOISE you make. Far Cry is an excellent worthy game. Half Life 2 as well. I've been told FEAR is great too.

I don't even bother playing online multiplayer, since they tend to turn into twitch-fests.

FPS's on consoles though, I'll agree suck. There's nothing worse than a thumb stick for aiming. Give me a mouse any day.

This is just getting old, nothing more.  There's a huge variety in game types and the way games play.  Monkey Ball, Zelda, Burnout, God of War, Virtua Tennis, Tiger Woods Golf, Wii Sports, Final Fantasy, Total War, Trauma Center, Cooking Mama, Gears of War, Ace Combat, Tekken, Warioware, Madden, Total War, Splinter Cell, Prince of Persia, Metal Gear Solid, Age of Empires, DDR, Karaoke Revolution, Guitar Hero, Viewtiful Joe, Katamari Damacy, The Sims, Viva La Pinata, Donky Konga, Twisted Metal, Ape Escape, Spore, Lego Star Wars, Samba De Amigo, SSX, Tony Hawk, Grand Theft Auto.  The gameplay in these games bares little to no resemblance to that of any other in the list.  And it just occurred to me that puzzle games are entirely unrepresented there.

There is at least as much variety in next-gen gameplay as there was twenty years ago.  In fact, the existance of an eight-way directional pad, plus analog sticks, plus analog triggers on todays gamepads, plus the advent of the Nintendo Wii, plus the keyboard/mouse combo probably makes for much MUCH more variety than exists in classic games.

Don't get me wrong.  Obviously I'm all about classic games.  I wouldn't be here if I wasn't.  But just as your parents never understood what made the Beatles or Stones or Metallica good, just as they never "got" the appeal of Pac-Man and Galaga, so you have a difficult time embracing new styles today.

I'm sorry guys, but ya'll are just gettin' old.
