Hi Guys. I'm turning in my badge and my sidearm. I'm off this case.

I think I'm starting to really learn a thing or two from the Halo Generation. Being an open minded guy, I'm going to present what I've learned in this short piece reasoning that, beyond what you may have considered, that the Nintendo Entertainment System was not, in fact, a real game console. I thought it was, but I see what was wrong with my thinking.

Processing Power

As we all know, processing power affects gameplay. Without high processing power, we can't have the things that really enrich gaming experiences, like complex physics engines or enemy AI. If you look at a game like Super Mario Bros 3, there is no real physics engine. The processor simply can't handle it, and it shows. Enemies have one squish animation, turtle shells don't realistically rihochet or tilt when they hit walls and and fireballs do not account for the type of surface they hit. If the NES had real processing power, things would burn or catch fire because of physics. Without it, the game is just not rewarding.


The NES made serious gaming back then worse

The NES came with things like light guns, robots and a mat that you put on the floor to hit buttons with your feet. Serious consoles simply stick to a controller and don't branch out. You could even buy an arcade stick and a modified controller with a disc instead of a D-Pad, a boomerang grip, and four face buttons. Its horrible because other systems started to adapt these sorts of things into their console, and it made so many bad controllers happen! These new controllers and control types lead to new games like Halo using dual stick controls, San Andreas using many button on its controller, and Modern Warfare 2 using a ergonomic grip with the PS3 controller. This was not a good thing!

The NES did not have strong sound or graphics

Without greater graphics power, nothing appealing can be made on this console. i doubt you would ever remember anything created on it, as there are not orchestral scores, great big explosions or voice acting, like in 50 Cent Bulletproof or Darkest of Days, which, because of technology, is better than anything that could be made on the NES.



I hope I have helped you learn to discern a real console from an NES.
