Well, if your complaint is that KIDS THESE DAYS are missing out because they haven't played the ZOMG CLASSICS, that's true. But who cares that they think the Mario theme is from SMG...in fact, that speaks to me how much it honors its roots by STILL having that ditty in full orchestra. And you can't get much more hardcore oldschool than huge pixel Mario in Super Paper Mario.
Ghettoflame's point, however, is that modern games can't hold up to old ones, which is retarded. He mentioned SMG and Sonic Rush, which are both fantastic games, while providing weak examples for why he doesn't like them as much. He went so far as to say ridiculous things like they "disrespect their elders," so I responded in kind by saying he dishonors all the threads people have posted saying the exact same thing.
So I repeat, this is a terrible thread, and you should be ashamed for posting it.
Edit: Play Cheetahmen II and tell me we've lowered our standards.
