Super Mario Land 2 - This game sucks. It doesn't have enough check points. Why am I back at the start?

Ninja Gaiden - It's so hard!

He also said the graphics look like they must come from the 50s. :P

That's why my kid is only going to play classics at first

Now the oldest nephew (12yo) is playing games. They are doing better.

Also did a controller mod. Now my Wii Classic Controller Pro doesn't have the plastic clip to get in the way. :P

One of my favourite NES games to play with an obviously inferior weaker player (because I'm the best at games :V) is 8 Eyes... I highly recommend it.

You play player 1. This lets player 2 play the falcon, Cutrus, who is very valuable but Player 1 controls the main movement...

(brag alert, sorry, but I'm pretty proud of this.) my 7yo nephew has already beaten Zelda 1 (which is something I've never done), Metroid 1, Megaman 2, SMB2, SMW, Yoshi's Island, and Super Metroid. he's been attempting LttP, and made it to the Dark World, but the battery is shot so he keeps losing his progress.

I've setup a Minecraft server and have been playing Minecraft multiplayer with him remotely, which is pretty fun at first, but he's kind of insufferable to play with.

That's pretty impressive. My cousin went through something similar when he discovered the classic games he could get on his handhelds, though he was a couple years older

Now it has other games on it. Between my Wii controller and that, I guess I don't need a SNES Classic. -_-

Super Mario Land 2 isn't on the NES classic. That's a gameboy game..

Sorry about that. I'm not really a fan of the series and don't remember the names of the older ones that well. The one that wasn't originally Mario. There, no way to get confused now.

Super Mario Bros 2, the reskinned Doki Doki Panic.

Ironically, the game where Toad and Peach are strong choices and Mario and Luigi are meh.

No wonder I got the name wrong. I think of Mario Bros, that terrible single screen game.

As a kid that cut his teeth on the Atari 2600 and NES, the original Mario Bros can be fun, but only the original NES version in 2 player. The later add-on versions in later games and compilations don't really capture the gameplay well.

It's really just a Mario spin on Joust or 2p Balloon Fight.

A few years ago, I introduced a bunch of cousins (aged 14-19) to the NES with Mike Tysons Punch-Out and Dr. Mario. Of all things, they were impressed by the reset button on the NES. How did you get right back to the start screen? Thats pretty cool.

Took me a sec to recognize that all modern consoles are basically computers that would take at least a minute to reboot and then relaunch a game.

Shit, I hope it was only his baby teeth
