Remember the games of yesteryear? Ever long for the days when your achievements weren't measured in....well, in "Achievements", but rather in the sense of satisfaction gleaned from your mastery of that final boss fight?
Well, today is your day.
Welcome to NEStalgia MiniPhalla, where you can relive your memories of an elegant console for a more civilized age.
Well, today is your day.
Welcome to NEStalgia MiniPhalla, where you can relive your memories of an elegant console for a more civilized age.
Standard Phalla rules apply: no screenshots, send me the link to any proboards, ask for clarifications in orange, don't talk/listen to dead people, etc. You know the drill.
Now, what makes this MiniPhalla unique? I'm glad you asked.
Each day, you'll vote in yellow for a classic NES game to play the following day. Depending on the game selected, different events will trigger and have an impact on the way the MiniPhalla is played that day.
What games may you choose from? Another excellent question, you're so smart.
I'm not going to pretend to have covered every great NES game here. Primarily, I selected games from those I played in my childhood, or those I am at least vaguely familiar with in some other way. This may or may not include your favorites; if it doesn't, feel free to design your own NEStalgia Mini. ;-)
But enough about that. Take a look (in no particular order) at the library of games available to you!
Getting all misty-eyed with reminiscence yet? That's all right, you're among friends here.
For now, sign up in any color!
Except, of course, yellow. You guys need to decide what game you'll be playing Day 1.

I've always enjoyed feeding jelly beans in A Boy and His Blob.
::grabs Legend of Zelda::
And it has to be North & South.
Yeah, Basewars!
THIS GAME IS GEARED AGAINST PUBLIC REVEALS. Epic reveal yourself at your own risk.
Rampage
rampage because I had it ...
Definitely Zelda :P.
3DS Friend Code: 3110-5393-4113
Steam profile
And of course, we have to begin with Contra - anything else wouldn't do the system justice.
And I'm going with donkey kong
After a quick review of my spreadsheet, I can promise that this game is Dac Vin-safe. ;-)
Because I want to do everything in my power to ensure either North & South, Basewars or Rampart wins this.
EDIT: The yellow vote will close as soon as the player list is full -- I'll be sending out Role PMs at that time, or possibly even starting before the list is full, in order to have minimal conflict with Neville's upcoming Whedonverse game.
and it has to be Zelda because that was the best game on the NES
!You were mistaken
!Super Mario Twins was the only one of those games I ever played as a kid.
That is a terrible reason to vote for the game, and also a terrible opinion.
You're terrible.
i'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over all of that WRONG!
Super Mario Brothers, if you vote for anything else you are a terrible person.
!Bubble Bobble is the best game ever.
Contra
GRUDGED
Your grudge will not be able to change my yellow vote.
Games which have previously won the yellow vote will not be eligible for yellow votage.
!Contra
Lacks Ninja Gaiden II, though.
It seems everyone else is hell-bent on supporting inferior games, kuhl.
Don't worry, I'll help support the !Rampart vote for now.
These people need to learn.

Zelda
yayyyy there won't be a bloodshed
yay?
B-b-but look, look how he deals with viruses!
I mean, goddamn.
Yes.
