>For me it was modern games lack of soul, and challenge.

For me it was the fact that those systems were current tech as I grew up. I got back into retro because I was sick of muh cutscenes and feeling like every game was a reskin of a floating unity camera simulator.

There are good modern and I play them, but most feel very similar and simply like you are pointing a floaty camera from point A to point B. They lack soul and as a result it felt like you were simply trying to move things around on a screen without involving your brain at all.

Good retro has a charming (be it cute or dark) atmosphere, fun gameplay, engaging gameplay. These things are SOUL to me. It's much easier to say "SOUL" than type out a paragraph like I just did.

>Came to post this. It needs pointing out for the noobs that this was made by Intelligent Systems and uses the Link's Awakening engine.

IMO this game would be great fun even without the Link's Awakening link, but I'll admit I would have never tried it without the association.

Anon, if you really did make them, you realize you wasted a ton of time doing this instead of just splicing the wires together (with solder) and covering them with heat shrink tubing?

I sometimes go there for laughs in the retro game stuff. They were praising this thing like it was the second coming of Jesus. Seriously, I fucking hate the place but it's got good gore source material. They were lining up to buy this piece of shit.
