Odds are, you're sleep deprived.

Shit's right there on the first page of Nyaa, right in the first few links on the "Assorted Links & Episode Downloads" Pastebin.

I retro because they're video games. I still play modern games as well. No reason to limit myself, there's good and bad on both sides of the fence.

Although I play more old games these days, but that might just be because of the larger variety I have available thanks to full ROM sets.

I didn't really dislike of the segments. The only things I didn't like were the intros to the game history ones (I can hear >>1410534 in my head just reading it and it's annoying as hell) and Retro Read-Aloud was a bit weak at times, but that's about it. Everything else was pretty fun.

Haven't seen much of Famicom National Treasure yet, since we only have like one or two episodes subbed with those segments, though. Or was it three?

To take a quote by Jim Cornette about Triple H, paraphrase it and apply it to games: OOT is a 9/10 that is pushed like a 11/10 and is therefore seen like a 7/10.

Of course, time makes fools of us all, and now the people that see it more like a 7 and dislike the ones that see it like an 11 could very well be the majority, and the whole thing turns into a clusterfuck when trying to analyze this "overrated" question.

So no, OOT is not overrated. It's also not underrated. It's not even rated correctly. It exists in a weird state where it's impossible to "rate" it because of how disparate the opinions on it are.

Of course, one could argue that this could be applied to any game, but there are a few things that one can look at and actually use to determine whether a game is "underrated" or not - sales numbers being the big one. If a game sells terribly due to lack of marketing, bad release dates or whatnot, but is actually an excellent game, then calling it "underrated" would not go amiss.

However, then we reach the "over-underrated"/"under-overrated" area, where we go back into clusterfuck territory - like >>1336585 basically said, a game that is so often considered to be on one side that it technically should be on the other side. Gimmick! is a big one for the "over-underrated" category, as this game comes up pretty much every time the topic of underrated games comes up, and the fact that it comes up all the time should technically disqualify it from belonging there in the first place.

In short, it's a fucking mess, and I'd rather just punch you in the face and leave than get into a real argument if you asked me this question to my face - the assault charges would be less of a headache than the discussion. Not trying to be "hardcore" here, it's just that an "overrated/underrated" discussion is so terrible that even legal troubles are quite likely to be easier to stomach.
