    True. Though there really are NES games that should’ve received a patch if that were possible.

      yeah, but how rare is that compared to today, where almost every bloody game is ridiculously broken and needing major day 1 patches… an day 2 patches, and day 7 patches.

        Or even worse, the disk doesn’t even have the damned game on it to begin with. It just sets up to start the game download.

        NES games were ridiculously simple and had a tiny amount of code compared to today’s games. The less code you have, the fewer the number of bugs.

          Always a corporate apologist.

          “Things were easier back then! You have no idea how hard it is for them to finish a game before releasing it!”
