I dunno if it is a hot take, but I think it fits because I never heard someone said that before, but a lot of NES games don't feel like your tipical retro games, but tamed arcade games even if they are not a port of anything, however, I am aware this is an anachronistic view on the matter, because, at the time, most of the user experience life design and common practices were not invented or possible at the time and arcade was considered peak gaming.
