Back in the 80's, a lot of people (including my father) played games just like that.
In Japan, arcades are very much alive, unlike the Western countries.
Way to disrespect the classics, boy! How can you call yourself a player if you shamelessly shun the classics like that!!
A lot of Smash Bros. content comes from those very games, you know. The first Donkey Kong game, Mario Bros., Punch-Out!!, Pac-Man and several others.
Even I have once played Street Fighter EX at a genuine arcade machine. I think it was in France. Or was it Spain? Can't remember. Oh well, the point still stands.
Future is dependent on the present that quickly becomes past. If one cannot respect the past, one cannot look into the future.
