15 years in the making! The VGHF presents the unlikely story of how the NES was born.Join our Patreon! http://gamehistory.org/donateBrowse our archives! http...
Such a shame, I grew up with Nintendo’s products starting with the SNES, and loved them. Unfortunately they’re such a terrible company to their own fans, I now absolutely hate them. I will probably never buy another product from them again.
Same (unless they make some drastic changes), but I agree with Cifaldi’s outro here on all the ways that this system was super important to the medium’s history, even the parts like total control over the system’s library that today is nothing short of bad for the consumer.
No doubt, I can separate the historical significance of something, from my feelings. The NES was amazing for the gaming industry, and changed history forever. But I still hate Nintendo, lol

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you’re submitting before posting to see if it’s already been posted.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW
Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.
No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

They are truly absolute cunts, I’ll only ever pirate any of their stuff
Half-assed approach. If you truly mean it then don’t consume their products at all, this gives them cultural legitimacy.
Go preach to a mirror
There’s a new mod to play the wii U version of botw in VR coming out in 2 days hopefully it doesn’t get nuked before the release…
