"This game came out for the NES and I played it when I was 5, so that means it's better than every other game that came out after it." -Almost half of the gaming community.
"This game is for the Playstation, so that means it's above criticism." -The other near half of the gaming community

As a dev, IMO I would barely be able to deal with all the limitations on NES. So I really don't think we should compare games from the 80's with modern games, since for their times many were groundbreaking and the workarounds devs came up with back then were amazingly cleaver. And for once, games were finally story driven. I can't say they were better, but still great though.
And yeah, the playstation part I agree xD PS fanboys are far too blind to want to admit that PS exclusives are far from perfect and other platforms do some things better than sony.

@Jesse Terrence Sure, NES games were great for their time, but to say that they're better than modern games simply because they're older is... pretty arrogant. And I'm glad you agree with me about Playstation exclusives, lol.

@AveryGamerDude not as arrogant when you compare NES games with some of those uptight indies that try the retro approach. I've seen some that are mediocre at best. Of course, that there is a matter of aesthetics and limitations which make both comparable. You can't just compare Super Mario Bros. or The Legend of Zelda with their switch recent titles. Still, if your retro game is eating half a GB off the hard drive, we could argue you did a terrible work at optimization xD
