I was going to say this as well. Most of the games people talk about on here (especially for NES) are all dummied down ports of arcade games. The only way to play most of this stuff without investing insane amounts of money is on an emulator. If you aren't playing using emulators you are playing the worst versions of most of those games. There's just a lot of ignorance out there about this stuff, people act like the NES and SNES are the be all end all of classic gaming.
"Nintendo hard" for me generally makes me think of watered down games where you don't have to pay to continue. In the arcade, you have incentive to not die, and to restart vs continue, since you get more play time for your money.
