The Golden Age of Gaming? That died with the mighty Super Nintendo and the innovative Genesis.
As soon as the 32-bits consoles(N64, PSX, and Saturn) hit the shelf, that was the day great gameplay and amazing storyline died.
Long ago, we got bad graphics with great gameplay and innovation(Super Mario Bros. 3, Zelda:A Link To The Past, and Final Fantasy V). Nowadays, we get games with super amazing graphics with mediocre gameplay and unoriginal storyline(Final Fantasy X and Jax & Daxter).
While there are still many great games, there are not as many as when there are not much a developer can do on graphics.
The GameBoy Advance could have possibly revive the Golden Age of Gaming, but everybody keeps on making ports instead of new games. Luckily, Nintendo made Golden Sun to keep us happy for a little while. But if things keep going the way it does, then the GameBoy Advance might as well be called the PortBoy Advance.
