The Switch has a good variety of older Nintendo games to play, with more on the way.

@Background Pony #204D

Modern Nintendo is dead. A shambling corpse of it’s former self.

You still play with that old thing?

We have the Nintendo Switch.

@zgwrox
I got it, I was just adding to it.
And honestly, game consoles had better bundles in the old days.

@Beau Skunky
That was a pun. Because “8-bit” is a video game graphics term, and a bit is the name of the currency used in Equestria. Get it? 8 BITS?

@zgwrox
Depends on if you get the one with the ROB, Zapper, and such.

How much do NES’s cost in Equestria? 8 bits?

@Beau Skunky  
To me the whole “Contra and Konami” code is such a classic refference that it’s practicaly become the holy grail of gaming.
 
Luna: Thou shalt not use thine code for cheating of speedruns, lest they have their names stricken from the high score boards. Use thine code for only enjoyment of thine game lest the burden of difficulty becomes to great. Amen.
 
There is alway the classic collections on digital if young’uns want to learn more.

@chaotic-7  
What if they don’t know what “Contra” is?  
My neice was baffled, because a friend of her’s never heard of “Yoshi.” lol
 
Yeah, though she might like Atari & Sega stuff too.

@Beau Skunky  
I know, it’s just most people of this generation aren’t familiar with “the code” reference hence why I referred to it as the Contra code.
 
But I could totally see that as added comedic affect.

@chaotic-7  
Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, START.
 
Though, calling it the “Contra” code is a bit inaccurate, because it was first featured in Konami’s “Gradius” first, so most call it the “Konami code.”
 
@Background Pony #5954  
I can see Luna being an NES fangirl. lol

Luna: Before we begin, we must first give thanks to the code.
 
Luna and Anon: The code.
 
Angels are heard singing as the Contra code is displayed above their heads.

Me: Sorry, You Highness, but I’m more of a Xbox pony–
 
Princess Luna: (Royal Canterlot Voice) YOU DARE TO INSULT NINTENDO?!?!?!?!?!
 
Me: (Paralyzed by fear) N-no, Your Highness!! I–I swear!
 
Princess Luna: HAVE YOU NO RESPECT FOR RETRO GAMING?!?!?! I SHOULD PUNISH YOU RIGHT HERE AND NOW!!!!!!!
 
Me: O-okay! I’ll play the NES with you. J–just don’t kill me!!
 
Princess Luna: Great! That’s all what I wanted to hear.

@Red-Supernova  
Like racks to chain someone to so you can lash them with blood and human remains everywhere, and of course this goddamned thing. Don’t get me wrong, it was all kinds of awesome, but I’m just surprised that got an E XD
 
@Power-Up&Sky-Blue  
I imagine she has everything XD

@Beau Skunky  
It wasn’t my favorite retro console, but I loved the graphics on the SEGA Genesis. The sound was pretty good too. Still wish I had gotten the SNES instead, but at least that’s on Switch now.

@Power-Up&Sky-Blue  
I’m sure she has all the retro consoles. Even a few of the newer Classic Mini plug-and-play systems.  
(The new Sega Genesis Mini is pretty cool BTW.)

You ever wonder if Luna has a Neo-Geo system?

@Red-Supernova  
The ESRB is confusing, the N64 version of “Ocarina of Time” has red blood stains in the Shadow Temple, (and on the Dead Hand miniboss) and earlier copies featured red blood spatters when Ganondorf “coughs up,” and when Link delivers the “final blow” to him. (Though, the red blood was edited to green for these two parts only in later cartridge copies, and rereleases.) and still is E-rated.  
The 3DS version left that out, and gets E-10 rated.
 
Poki Poki Panic was actually the first time I saw the popular BG character Lyra. lol

@Beau Skunky  
I dunno, even the more foreboding parts of Earthbound are still not as intense as most other T-rated games. Then again, I see a lot of classic games get re-rated with the Teen rating so I guess the rating doesn’t matter as most grade school kids are allowed to play Teen rated games anyway.  
Now the Undertale series, which is inspired by the Mother series, has more suggestive content than the games its paying homage to and yet it gets an E10 rating. ESRB ratings can be weird at times.
 
Aside from the blood, everything else to me sounds like standard intimidating dungeon fare. Now if there were torture devices that are commonly used in gore-fest movies, that would be ballsy.
 
I was there when Super Fluttershy Land 2 debuted along with Pony Poki Panic. God, that was magical.

@Red-Supernova  
Maybe, but some do think the T-rating is suiting, given some of the game’s darker content, scary atmospheric cave/night music, and such. (Not to mention, the final boss.)
 
There’s racks surrounded by blood stains in the Shadow Temple, chains on walls, not to mention, skulls, spike traps, blades, and such everwhere.
 
I remember A Derp to the Past. Hehe one of the first brony ROMhacks. (Along with Super Fluttershy Land 2.)
 

@Beau Skunky  
I’d still stand by that I think despite what Earthbound got away with, I think an E10 rating is more fitting. Now Mother 3 on the other hand is more deserving of the Teen rating.
 
@Badumsquish  
What kind of torture devices are we talking about here? Its been decades since I last played OoT.
 
@Beau Skunky  
If I remember correctly, we have a Link to the Past Romhack that has Derpy as the protag.

@40kponyguy  
I’m eager to see what you do with it. I’m doing my own take on a creepy shopowner who deals in illegal, dangerous, and outright cursed or supernatural wares, and while she herself is going to look and act more like Renon from Castlevania 64, Leland Gaunt from Needful Things, and Mr. Dark from Something Wicked This Way Comes, her shop is going to be more like the Curiosity Shop from Majora’s Mask :D

@Badumsquish  
Still waiting for someone to do something with the sorceress twins, Twinrova.
 
Could do Equestria Girls maybe? Derpy Link facing a merged Demon Sunset and Demon Twilight?
 
 
…..
 
Actually sounds like a good idea….

@40kponyguy  
Closest I ever got were the Floormasters, but they’re not even unique to that temple :P
