sheesh, should I continue? again, that list does NOT include Nintendo's own myriad of great games.
Has the system aged? Sure it has, it's 24 years old, but to say it mostly sucked is one of the silliest things I've read in a long long time. It sucked compared to what? Sega's Master System? TODAY'S generation of consoles?
