I can't believe I got my Snes Classic from Gamestop yesterday. Then again I can't believe I asked Amazon to notify me when Snes Classic would be available. And Amazon never notified me. Probably proving I missed out on the preorder if there was one. Then again that would contradict the fact Walmart had a preorder cancelation.
Anyway I'm enjoying my Snes Classic. Followed by NO I shouldn't be enjoying this.

The Controller
Nostalgia: Ah, a very easy to remember button interface.
Modern: Where am I going to rest my palms? There are no Triggers for me to happily pull! These buttons are backwards compared to my Xbox 360 controller! My right thumb is sore.
Star Fox (2)
Nostalgia: Ah! My Steel Battalion before Steel Battalion!.... Well minus a Snes Arcade Controller.
Modern: Yes but Steel Battalion is better!
Nostalgia: Are you going to beat Steel Battalion?
Modern: No.... Are you going to beat Star Fox or Star Fox 2.
Nostalgia: Probably not and Star Fox 2 feels more complicated.
The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past
Nostalgia: Wow! I found a bow in a treasure chest!
Modern: Yeah after fighting a bunch of soldiers who also have bows. In Skyrim I would've been able to loot their corpses for bows, armor, & other weapons. Then sell everything I don't want to a merchant.
Super Mario RPG: Legend Of The Seven Stars
Nostalgia: I'm going grind in this area for a while.
Modern: Oh, you're going to grind in a children's game rather than Soul Farm in Dark Souls?

I haven't gotten around to playing the other games yet. Either because they weren't from my childhood. Or because I dislike Side Scrollers.
