I've always played old Nintendo games on the PSP, and DS and never really gotten into it much. I've even tried using Virtual Console on the Wii but still I can't seem to find the sparkle.
This week, I've been playing Pokemon Blue on a Gameboy Colour (green, if you're interested; which you're probably not!) and I'm really (really, really) getting into it. I really can't work out the difference, from playing on Lameboy on the DS to actually using the proper hardware.
The difference is amazing, and as I mentioned on the previous post I can see absolutely why I loved these old games. Now this is okay for easy to obtain games like Pokemon and Mario but some of the Zelda games such as Oracle of Ages and Seasons are unfortunately rather expensive on eBay! What about games for the SNES that I missed? Earthbound, Secret of Evermore? Suppose I might have to actually buy a console at some point in time!
The Dragon Quest games are being remade for the DS, along with Chrono Trigger (Just about to start playing the DS version!) which is awesome. Except that Hand of the Heavenly Bride is out of print already and hard to find at a resonable price. I really don't want to have to download them, but if they are impossible to buy, what are the other options?
What old games do you play, that you just don't feel the same about when you emulate them? Let me know by leaving a comment!
