Ultimately, if you’re interested in such a thing, it’s worth seeking out a copy, but I wouldn’t put it in the same sort of grouping as the title that we have here, in our hands, now. And this isn’t the first time Final Fantasy III has come to English speaking players: an interesting 3D version was released on the DS back in 2006, with an attempt to make the game more robust in terms of storytelling and character development. Sure, we were able to get Dragon Warrior III back during the 8-bit heyday, but we didn’t get the first Mother until a shadow drop on the WiiU VC helped get official versions into the hands of fans. Thankfully, time has made fools of us all, because, as it turns out, some of the best RPGs were just kept behind lock and key over in Japan. To date, thinks like Kabuki Quantum Fighter and The Simpsons: Bart vs The World are titles that are probably complete trash, but they sit, gilded, in my memory halls, like a first kiss or the time I won fifty dollars from bananas. All of the “quirks” of the system – cartridges not reading correctly, uncomfortable controllers, a Power Pad that only worked for the one game I had – I dismiss over the overall joy that came from having video games at home.
The NES was my first system, and it’s one that I hold with absolute fondness and stubborn denial over shortcomings.
