| Topic | Is there a New Noble 9 for Games? |
| Yesmar_ 05/22/20 9:45:51 PM #48: | Despite never trusting its match with MM, I have some doubts about LttP too. I know that other people have been down on SMB3 in this topic, but I think that long term SMB3 is in a better position. The Mario games are older, but 2D platforming is still relevant today. Hell, 2D Mario platforming is still relevant today. On the other hand, I don't know how many games like LttP are around. I wouldn't say it's old-fashioned per se; visually it looks fine, and the core Zelda mechanics are still there. I think someone used to more modern games would still enjoy it. However, being the definitive 2D Zelda game carries a lot less weight when they haven't been making 2D Zelda games/clones in 15 years. Sure SMB3 can feel like ancient history, but the genre it's part of is not, and I think that being an exemplar of its genre is as much a key to its strength as any sort of NES nostalgia. --- Congrats on Advokaiser for winning the 2018 Guru Contest!
