Don't know why they didn't get them to react to the arcade version instead.
My reaction to Genesis MK1 as a teen was one of dismay and disappointment thanks to Probe's handy porting skills, might as well show them the real deal.
PS I still loved Genesis MK, back then you learned to love it.
I never liked the first MK game that much. Even as a kid in 90's it never appealed to me. Later I was and still is in love with MK2 though. That was a huge imrovement.
The day MK1 dropped at my local arcade we knew it was no SF killer in the gameplay stakes, but that didn't seem to matter to us as the sound and graphics were amazing.Quote:

I once had some friends come over to play old video games, and there were two kids who had no idea how to hold an Atari 2600 controller.
It was funny and unexpected, we old timers laughed a lot but then taught them how to do it.
And the kids beat some of the old dudes hehehehe
oooh, now THAT definitely has to happen at some point!Quote:

Kinda surprised they didn't comment on the graphics all that much though.
The game recieved mostly positive reactions from the teens. There was only one girl who criticized the graphics. Truth be told, it was a criticism back in the day as well. But the ability to pull off combos and fatalities made the game so much fun. It makes me wonder what the kids' reaction would have been had they seen two skilled players have a go at it and show off some of the fatalities!
They wanted to get real retro-hardware into their hands instead of emulate I imagine and they probably didn't have access to an arcade machine.Quote:

Yeah, they usually have a segment asking them what they thought of the game at the end but they didn't this time. I was disappointed.Quote:

The Super Meat Boy video on that channel was entertaining to say the least.
I don't know why people get angry, sad I understand. It's nothing to do with the kids themselves, it's just about feeling old. :lol:Quote:

It's not rocket science to wrap your brain around the fact that the left thumb's on the D-pad, while the right thumb works the buttons on controllers back then and today. Sure, I could hear someone who's never held a controller before (as in, EVER) saying that, but in this video? Yeah... lame attempt at humor on their part, and nothing more.Quote:

It's especially disheartening when kids refuse to watch movies and listen to music that's older than 10 years old, especially considering modern music sucks. I detest the "it's old so it automatically sucks" mindset that gets more and more prevalent as time flows on.
I wouldn't base much on that video besides the fact that a few people in that video are homosexuals. Who cares, right?Quote:

We really don't have any way to tell, nor does it really matter as being gay does not automatically make somebody a wuss. No I'm talking about an overall effeminate, wussy leaning I tend to see. Like it's now somehow cool to be the kinda kid that would have caught shit every day (Just to clarify, I was no jock and I have yet to turn 30. I was a computer nerd but I refused to take shit and fought back so I avoided the locker stuffings and whatnot that would inevitably come my way). I'm not basing it off of just this one particular video but from what I tend to see in all forms of current media and life in general.Quote:
