What do you guys prefer here on PU. Retro games or the Next generation games
ex. Legend of Zelda a link to the past(Snes) vs. TP (wii) - Street Fighter 2 turbo (snes) vs. Super Street Fighter 4 (xbox 360) - Sonic 2(Genesis) - Sonic 4 (xbox 360)
I personally prefer the old school games. Not saying the new ones are bad, just saying that I prefer the older games. Maybe nostalgia, but I think it is because they had to try harder back then. Now you say your making a new Zelda game a million people drop their jaw and are ready to pre order right there regardless of the quality of the game (granted for the new zelda I would be one of those people im not trying to put down on anyone). Back then you really couldn't get a large number of game sales unless the game was good, so... they had to try harder and make better games.
But thats just my opinion what do you guys think?

Retro, mainly for nostalgia, Glitches....

Ah yes the glitches, one thing I do love is that old games dont have to worry about having their glitches patched. :D

Especially Pokemon Gen I

Well, what I prefer or don't like won't change what will PU be... some like changes, while others don't. The team is only trying to make the game appealing to the maximum people out there who like pokemon games and would like to play it in an 'extended' way. Those who like the old pokemon can use the old pokemon if they want, while the new pokemon will be available to those who like the new ones.

Next Gen, obviously.
Though the retro games laid the foundation, they are still crap by today's standards.
Yea, nostalgia's nice but no one would seriously pass up Halo:Reach for Metroid.

It depends. Because if you consider 2002's Metroid Prime a retro game, Halo:Reach can go be the fanboy fuel that it already is.
Personally, I don't care when the game came out. It just has to be a good game. And there are alot of old games that can easily be considered better than todays games. Just because its newer, doesn't mean its automatically better than the games that have come before it.
Starfox 64, Super mario 64, Golden eye, Twisted Metal, they were all better quality then things like Gears of War or Call of Duty: Modern Warefare 2. They just don't look as pretty.

Actually I really like Trainer Silver's point. Retro is a term that can differentiate between people. So may consider even halo 2 (only 5 years) retro while others may not. So yeah age really doesn't matter its just people like good games.

I'd pick retro over anything new. My favorite console ever created was the Super Nintendo. I spent more time on that thing than my PS2 and Xbox combined. Aside from the DS Lite I haven't gotten a system newer than an xbox.
If this is a question directed at PC gamers though, definitely newer generation games. 98-present. As much as I loved Wolfenstein, Doom, and hell, even DOS games, I'd much rather play Oblivion, Unreal Tournament, Quake III, and the original Call of Duties more than them.
