Great timing.
I propose a new Discussion...

How do current Nintendo first party games rate compared to previous ones?

I'm mostly talking the 2D platformers compared to later titles, though Super Mario 64 could go either way. I've always personally enjoyed most if not all Mario titles I've played, but I seem to find that I can more easily go back to the older titles, most notably those in Super Mario All Stars + Super Mario World on SNES. They looked very good in that compilation and all played perfectly. It was magical for me....

Fast forwards to the present, and there's a slew of spin-offs I couldn't be assed playing, a few better titles like Super Mario Galaxy were quite fun. But I notice they've lost what made them so addictive for me in the past. And I feel that the best Mario Kart games were either the SNES or n64 one as well, particularly the battling on the SNES (feather kicks ass).

You all?
