Best list I’ve seen. The guy who wrote it has a full US set as well: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XvrA3ewQkJ06AW3_stzOrTW5NvZecVc2acQHcPSYD7U/htmlview

I am talking about the normal NWC not the gold. The gold doesn’t have the same meaning as the grey because it wasn’t used in the actual competition so I can see why it wouldn’t be in a museum. I’ve been to a couple of gaming museums but they were in Europe. They didn’t have a NWC but they did have some rare items there.

I hadn’t heard of this one but it sounds epic. Although the article I read said the competition never finished and some of the prizes have an unknown location. I’m sure Atari nuts would be all over it if they ever did finish it and had a significant prize to show for it.

It’s because it was an absolutely huge video game event that very rarely happens and especially not of that size. I don’t even live in America but nothing like that would ever happen here. It also happened on Nintendo’s first console which adds to the historical significance. Zoom out 50 years from now. Hardly anyone is going to even care about most of the NES library, but sitting in gaming museums will definitely be a NWC telling the history of a huge gaming event. This is why people value it so highly. Which other events have been as big and significant as NWC? I know of the Famicom one thanks to defaultgen but I’m not aware of anything quite as huge as NWC or the Famicom competition. Especially in the early days of gaming. Also, it’s good to question people about why they think a certain way. It creates discussion. You don’t have to agree but at least we can have a friendly back and forth

This is fake I would say. The GBA colours on the left look off and the Nintendo seal is also in the wrong place. There’s probably a lot more. I also agree with Tyree that the seal doesn’t look legit. I’d personally stay away from this.

I think the NWC is interesting because it’s a piece of video game history. It’s literally something that should be in a video game museum. Although I personally only think Thor’s NWC is worth having because he was the winner. Retail games don’t have the same feeling to them.

I don’t agree at all with what you said but at least you gave the games a go instead of instantly dismissing them because you think they’re for kids.

What are your thoughts on it? I’ve been picking up Japanese 360 games for super cheap and they got a couple of the GH games in Japan. I only played 1 and 2 so was interested to maybe check this one out too.

10. Played it this year for my backlog so I won’t repeat myself. A must play for RTS fans who haven’t played it.

You are definitely in the minority if you think RPG games created by second or third parties for Nintendo that get their stamp of approval aren’t very good or uninspired. But this site is well known for bonkers hot takes, so it doesn’t surprise me

Not trying to be funny, but I can’t think of a Nintendo made RPG. Paper Mario was made by Intelligent Systems. Pokemon is made by Game Freak. Fire Emblem is also Intelligent Systems.

I was 14 going on 15 when they were released here, so definitely not a kid. I don’t really understand the kid argument anyway. A lot of NES games were designed for kids and are still great. The games never were aiming to compete with FF7 and all the more serious RPGs. It’s just a fun adventure game with lite RPG elements. They’re great games no matter the age imo. People are playing the games and discovering them for the first time at any age.

Pokemon is a great game and the challenge lies in collecting all the Pokemon. It was harder pre internet guides because you really had to plan out your route and how you would use different Pokemon and pokeballs. People have come up with ideas on how to make the game more difficult though. Only sticking to the first 6 Pokemon you catch is a good one. If you’re a “serious hardcore I don’t like kiddie stuff” gamer you probably won’t like it though I also recommend playing the GBA remakes. They did a great job with it.

Warcraft 2?

I can appreciate what it was trying to do at the time but I just feel that it never executed those things properly. With limited time in peoples lives I would recommend people play Gradius or Salamander. I think 4.5 isn’t too bad of a score, that puts it at just below average. Not bad but nothing propelling it to be part of the greats. That’s a good question about turbo on the Pocket. I’ll have to look into it.
