Topic: Retro Nintendo to kids of today

[X]

Did you throw in a suggestion for Contra? I'd love to see that!

:-S No...I didn't even think of that!  That would have been a good one.

I suggested Legend of Zelda, CV 1 or 3, Mario 2 or 3, Gauntlet, Final Fantasy  (to cover some "classic" titles)
Battletoads, Snake Rattle 'n' Roll, Kickle Cubicle, Kid Icarus ("odd" games, though Battletoads is kindof a classic)
Techmo Bowl (To cover sports)

Well there's over 800 NES titles not counting games never released outside of Japan. They've got plenty of material to cover and then it's on to the next retro console.

Every time I see one of these videos I wonder what sheltered private/artsy school they auditioned these kids from—this isn't the standard.
Unless of course somebody can convince me none of them have seen the inside of a Hot Topic.

I'm going to be seeing this British girl in my nightmares.

When I was a young teen, I remember anything that had been out for more than 3 months was "old", and therefore not cool anymore, at least not among the types who were obsessed with pop culture. Hipsters and gamers might be an exception, but I've met few retro gamers outside of the internet, and they were all older than I am (29). I'm sure those kids have been to a Hot Topic at some point, but that doesn't mean that they're gonna know what that Triforce t-shirt on the wall is in reference to.

One of the girls is from Game of Thrones but I'm not sure about the others

[Bloodreign]

I think some of this is scripted, retro is all around with adults, surely these kids have/had been exposed to it before. My nephews when they were little runts would watch me play Mega Man, and knew exactly who he was already. And this was maybe 9 years ago or so.

I dunno...it seems fairly genuine.  I'm sure it depends a bit on the circles you run in.  The one kid said his brother just bought an NES...I think there was another one or two that said they'd seen or played one before.

The British girl is from Game of Thrones Ayra Stark IIRC.

Also since Halloween is coming castlevania is a must we all should band up and tell em.
