| BeyondWalls 11/28/21 4:22:24 PM #6: | I honestly thought The Wizard was more reflective of NES culture than this movie. One of the faults of the movie (although I guess you could argue NPHs character is making this story up) is that I really dont find this movie to be that true to 1988. I mean, this movie treats the NES like its the PS5. Like its super expensive and sold out. The entire neighborhood is raging for one! But I dont remember it being anything like that. Seems like there were plenty of NESes around and they werent that expensive. Like not PS5 expensive. I got my NES December 88 and we just walked in the store and bought it. And my family certainly wasnt rich. Seems like it was pretty affordable. And I dont remember any kids going nuts to play one. Video games were still coming out of the crash. Like we actually were still going outside and building forts, etc. A typical NES session lasted like an hour. I dont know, this story tries to shift too many modern day video game tropes on the NES era. --- END OF LINE ... Copied to Clipboard! |
