During the following years, I hoovered up and experienced many of the classic NES games which I had missed out on while I was busy enjoying the adventures of and on Sega's 8-bit rival. When the iconic, I pestered my family to get it for me that Christmas like so many other teens in the UK that year.

It's not that I don't have a lot of nostalgia for the humble NES while I might have started out my console gaming life with a Sega Master System, I always had a begrudging respect for Nintendo's machine thanks to its stronger library of games.

They say that familiarity breeds contempt, and to be honest I'm not feeling particularly excited about revisiting all of those painfully familiar NES games which will be bundled as a sweetener when the Nintendo Switch Online service launches this week.
