Did you even PLAY the MegaMan or Ninja Gaiden games? Those had a LOT more than just an animated GIF.
myself i still play alot of 8 bit NES games.True,they can do so much more with recent games,but i still play the old stuff.Some of my recent import game purchases were 8 bit stuff...
1. Wily and Light's RockBoard- That's Paradise! for NES...in a Megaman game that never hit the USA,Wily decides to take over the world buy buying all it's property.It plays like Monopoly,has 4 different gameboards/maps,supports 4 players at the same time,and features Wily,Dr Light,Roll, Dr Cossack and Kalinka Cossack as your playable characters. Megaman hosts the game and sets up options.I've beaten 2 of the maps as Wily so far.
2. Kunio-Kun Nekketsu Collection 3 for GBA...collects Ike Ike!Nekketsu Hockey-bu (AKA Crash N The Boys- Ice Challenge) and the game known as Technos Samurai on one GBA cart.The game kept the 8 bit NES graphics and sound.
3. Downtown Nekketsu Kousinkyoko-Soreyuke Daiundokai for NES...Kunio and some pals/rivals comptete in sports events,like obstacles courses and fighting tournments. Supports 4 players at the same time.
4. Nekketsu Kakutou Densetsu for NES...Another Kunio game,it's story mode is a 2 vs 2 fighting tournament that features a 'create your own character' mode,and also has a 4 player battle royale,everyone for themself,last man standing wins!
I also enjoy alot of USA NES games like River City Ransom/Crash N The boys Street Challenge(if you didn't notice already...lol),Castlevania 1-3,Ninja Gaiden 1-3,Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street,among others. (Yeah,me and the guys still play the 4 player mode on Elm Street yet...lol...good times.) I'll never get tired of the NES, because it's got a number of good games that i still enjoy playing.
