Maybe I was too young to appreciate it, or I have just grown accustomed to the advancement we have made in games in the last 2 decades. I just don't have the same nostalgia value that the NES, SNES and N64 have to offer. Using Pokemon as an example, Pokemon Red and blue are garbage compared to X and Y. The two games are basically indistinguishable. For me I think Nostalgia hits more towards the Gamecube and GBA era. That's when I started really playing games on my own, and not with 3 brothers and 2 controllers.
