Yeah Konami put some true classics up on the NES and SNES, and some darn nice stuff on the Genesis, their TurboDuo version of Castlevania Dracula X is an all time classic game. I dont think companies really think the way they did back in the days when console gaming was a fresh experience. Now the bottom line seems to be selling more games instead of giving us a reason to play games. Look at how the marketing is geared towards the holidays, leaving huge gaps in time between any games, quality or any kind. Although i will be a ps3 purchaser, there is no doubt that gaming isnt the experience it was on consoles like it was early on, my ps2 has had extended periods of dust gathering...
