Man, I remember getting my first console, a used Super Nintendo. I played the shit out of some of those games, like Mario and Lion King.

I got a Sega Genesis like a year or two before I got a Super Nintendo. I think I liked it way better! I got my SNES in middle school.

No, it’s because one game takes up half the space.

I always liked the (rather cynical) theory that some companies (especially Activision and Infinity Ward with the CoD series) deliberately inflated the size of their games so that players' hard drives filled up faster and left less room for competing games. Incompetence is the Occam's razor-compliant explanation (which I tend to agree with) but this notion always made me smile.

I guess that sounds kinda plausible.

When it comes to food companies like cheetos, they put certain chemicals in their snacks that make you want more of it by making the taste almost taste satisfying but you don't feel like you hit the peak of the flavor so you continue eating more.

Companies are always trying to fuck with their customers using sneaky psychology to keep them hooked. I don't see why games companies wouldn't do this.

I just fired up Mario again, and forgot how fucking annoying it was to try and force MOTION CONTROLS onto a handheld if you want the 'true experience'

You mean Odyssey? Its best played on a tv but with the joy-cons detached from the doghead and held one in each hand. People tend to forget that and eventually I found it easier to just not do that if you weren't actively trying for one of the few moons that relied on it.

none of the moons or controls should have depended on a waggle, when a button works just fine. Does any one other than the mentally disabled actually like having to flick their hands up in the air to do a move? or hold onto fucking tiny controllers in each hand, in an unnatural way for anyone who's ever played a videogame?

The joycon were neccissary to make it a hybrid, which was neccissary for it's success. But no, they hurt my hands enough that I said fuck it and brought a pro controller years ago.

The shitcon came with a plastic thing to make it more like a controller. This stupid fucking mario game inserted a 'true and only way to play the game' mechanism, which is retarded

If I wanted to download complete libraries of old Nintendo consoles where is the best place to look?

The internet?

That being said, doing so is pointless when a very large number of old games are garbage like Ninjabread Man. You're better off downloading a curated list then if there's something the list is missing that you really want to play for some reason you just add it.

Same exact sentiment here, from this day going onward, I am just going to be emulating their old games that I played throughout my childhood.

Don't just stop there, I guarentee there's many, many games you haven't played from back in the day. The past isn't exactly an escape, it's a well of new content waiting to be discovered. I'm running through FE4 on SNES now, still, as it's kept me occupied for months off and on. And Princess Crown on Sega Saturn finally got a full translation last month, so I want to play that soon to see how Vanillaware got their start. It looks beautiful.

I go to Vimm's Lair first typically (Goytendo cracked down on them hard however). They have most of the emulators you need (outside of things like Citra 3DS). After that I'll try CDRomance. You can use Ziperto to get a lot more recent stuff like on the 3DS (with full DLC often included). After that, pretty much search online and you'll usually find what you want. If you get a Japanese exclusive, I use romhacking.net to find a translation patch which are usually available to varying degrees of quality. They even have an online patcher for the file if you need it, including DeltaPatcher for 3D games.

Vimm's lair used to be my go-to, what a cozy website before it got obliterated. Cdromance ain't bad but now their repo is locked behind their forum to keep it hidden from Nintendo.
 
You can still very easily download complete sets of roms on archive.org (for whatever reason) but if you want a curated library the retrogametalk repo, as retarded as they are, has a nearly complete english library as well as nearly every fan translation pre-patched. Take an evening and just go for it, you can get things set up, downloaded, and never think about it again.
