Topic: How to Play the NES/SNES NSO Games for Dumb Millennials

Now, I know some games are straight forward, but sometimes its hard to know how to play or what to do specifically in 20 ~ 30 year old games. This is a thread for talking about those old games but SPECIFICALLY about things that younger people might not know since they didn't grow up with the game. For example, almost EVERY game on nes or snes doesn't let you know what button does what, and also games back then were debateably not as good at letting the player know what they had to do at any given moment. Discuss!

Member when games had manuals? On paper too! I member.

Like, how do I navigate Puyo Puyo? It's all Japanese... Also, what do each of the buttons do in Mario Kart? Y seems to be brake, but it's not much different than R/L which I THINK is drift.

Come on millenials i'm in my 40's and i know what to do. You look the games up on Google.

It's easy! Just do what people in the '00 did:
Go to Gamefaqs

1. Watch from the Youtube to understand the gameplay.
2. Read from gamefaqs.
3. Try by yourself and never give up if failed.

I'm sure there are some millenials have some patience to keep trying whenever they failed. It depend on their parent's parenting at home which can develop patient and determination behavior.

@Magician ahhh I member!

Do what I did as a kid:

Trial and error until something works

That why each SNES and NES game came with an instruction manual. We read the manual on the way home from the store.

If you ain't reading the manual then you aren't doing it old school.

#retro4life!!!!

I member it all

Yup. And/or check Nintendo Power lol

Shouldn't this be moreso Gen Z? I'm a millennial and grew up playing SNES and NES. It's those damn kids with their Gamecubes that are the problem.

Press the buttons and see what they do?

To be fair, the title says dumb millennials

I always just press the buttons and work it out myself. I only ever checked the manual of there was something specific I couldn’t work out. I find it much more fun and easy to learn that way.

Honestly, these young ‘uns with their tutorials these days <grumble, grumble>....

Remember when your lives run out you need to start again! They need to remove rewind and save state from those games!

You do realize most millennials are in their mid-20's and 30's, right? Even the youngest millennial is officially an adult now, even going by the most liberal cutoff date of 2000/2001 instead of 1996.

Millennials aren't the crazy kids. They're the old people now. You're old people, millennials.
