Fight fire with water.
After 3.4 hours of wanting, my dream came true. Ever since the 1st grade, I have dearly wanted a Nintendo Entertainment System, or "old/regular Nintendo" if you're like that. And now, the deal has been made. For the price of a regular current-generation game, a fully-functional NES complete with all the fixings is in my possesion.
But Brett, why the sudden urge to play retro video games?
That's an easy one, Sir Question of the Virgin Islands. Sometimes today's games are too complicated and frustrating, and one just has the need to shoot pixelated mallards while his trusty dog laughs at his efforts. Hell, in many ways, the NES offers more fun than any other console in today's market. Granted, you won't get the same heart-pounding, emotional thrillride from Super Mario Bros, which is one reason the PS2/XBox have become so popular amongst my peers.
It's hard to think back to the 1980's, when the NES was king of all technology. But a haiku can easily fix that.
Ninteen eighty-six
This thing has eight bits of looks
And more raw power.
In short:
NES in the 80's = PS2 of the 00's
Plus the Minibosses kick lustral ass.
Extremely is a bad thing,
Brett Man

Did you know that Nintendo manufactured a training system used in the military to desensitize new soldiers to killing? It's pretty much Duck Hunt, but replace ducks with bad guys. Seriously!
