I understand you love the classics, Squally, but if you had an Xbox you could play shitloads of arcade games. They have tons of classics and *quality* new ones every week that A) don't require you to be a wizard with a "new-fangled" controller and B) Don't cost much money. Not to mention you can use Netflix, Crackle, Facebook, Youtube, Last.FM, HULU, Twitter and apparently Internet Explorer relatively soon.
i already play arcade games.. on other systems.
and like i said i fucking
hate the xbox controller. and its not "new fangled" im not old or anything.. i said its designed in an awful way. ive been with nintendo since the beginning. if you take a look at the snes or
ANY of the other nes systems controllers, you will notice the buttons are different than the xbox's. to me, they are backwards to what i know.
when it says to push A, i end up pressing b. and when it says push x, i push y. why? because nintendo owns that controller format. and xbox had to modify it to be legally distinctly different. the playstation did it with the shapes instead of letters. i think they were smart enough not to confuse the living shit off of nintendo players like xbox did.
also.. i dont get the end of what you're saying. as in...you can use that stuff on an xbox? why would i want to? i have a pc... and i wouldnt use most of those things away. ive never even heard of crackle or last fm and i just dont do social networking sites. just not my thing. i have a close knit family and everyone i want to talk to i just call up or visit.
but, i think you are confused on my take on things. and taking me way too serious. i play all sorts of games. i dont just stick to shit from the 80s as you are implying i just think that the snes made the best and funnest games. add that with the nostalgia factor and i could live on it. honestly, im just not into big graphics games. as stated before around here, it seems that a lot of games have concentrated more on the graphics than the actual gameplay itself.
the other day i tried to play what i think was black ops or something on xbox. there were a bunch of zombies in a nazi building. hated the game play. looked crazy realistic but just not my thing. i never liked first person shooters though. i was fine watching thoe other people play it but i wouldnt buy that game nor the system. just not my thing. i have my wii and im cool with that. i have a couple games but mostly im just using it to emulate games i like.
