Maybe it's just because I'm older but it seems like with technological advancements in consoles there was a huge shift to "lemon games"
Watch 1-UP as the new guy at a game developing company pleading to the board to focus a little bit more on the story.
lyrics
Board Committee : Alright! With this new graphics card we installed in the system... we can up a graphics by 16 X
1-UP : Well... why don't we spend a little bit of time developing the story line?
Board : Story line!?!? Are you out of your mind kid?!?! GET OUT OF HERE!
(Must be crazy, that's the new guy)
lyrics
Verse 1:
First consoles I ever rocked SNES and had a Sega, Before I was slashing the beats I was slashing around as Vega
I was rocking all day with these 16 bit heroes, when I picked up any cartridge there was rarely any fear though
Grabbed me from the start with an opening prologue, You like stories inside of your stories? Yo Dawg
Companies act like greedy goblins, they trynna rob me bro, You’ll never stop me, from playing Pocky and Rocky though
You know you’re out of luck, you better Bauer up, I started with these throwing cards then paired them with my power ups
I’m heating up, scratch that, I be on fire! End your career with that NBA Jam super dunk - RETIRED
When I need escapes, man I never had to go far, switching up the games faster than weapons playing Gunstar
Instead of screwing up, then playing blame games, we should take a queue from comix zone get on the same page
Hook:
Gimme 8 Bits, Gimme 16, Gimme 8 Bits, Gimme 16
The graphics of your game shouldn't offset all your storyline
I need a coup d'état take back real games and make the story mine
Gimme 8 Bits, Gimme 16, Gimme 8 Bits, Gimme 16
I'm the best kid, I've been tested, I coming and dropping these lyrics on tracks you fools get Megaman X'ed kid
Verse 2:
Let’s do a Scorpion and try bring it back, what you think of that? (i)graphics are nice but trim the fat!
Just nostalgic for when games went HAM son, Damn son! It’s like some game developers straight sold their souls to Tseng Tsung
I’ll have em feeling my message just like I’m John Locke, and get em thinking more bout the path they take (do a Barrel roll!) Star Fox
Visuals cover a lot, and while you’re fooling most, Get some skin in the game! Act like it's Ghouls and Ghosts
A game for the graphics bro you’ll never see me buy that, and I keep my characters swag higher than an Airwing soaring Lylat
Put em at peace, see which company faltered least, when it’s time to power up these games just like an Altered Beast (POWER UP!)
Give me battle toads, give me streets of rage, Y-y-you’re breaking my balls here.. Johnny Cage
I hate this money game man I don’t hate the players, but I’ll say Halo and xbox did it right when they did team slayer
Hook x 1
Verse 3:
Every time I write a song, it’s just depends on how I’m feeling son, I morph my styleee so good you think I was a Chameleon
Mario he sends this crap up to where the heavens are, I’d call it more than just The Legend of the Seven Stars
Games getting gassed up so I need to give em Beano, No substance all dolled up like they Geno
Planet Mobius, just throw me on it, first played when I was six and at the age of 26, yeah I still love playing Sonic
Get fast with a dash of class, causing chaos like these emeralds no 3d Blast
Take a breather to fill my heart up so I can make this last, you think that I was gonna forget a link to the past?
Indie developers go give us all that you have, and I will reach into my pockets and give you all of my cash
my video games, please give them back their story lines, that was 1-UP’s attempt to go and make the story mine
Board : NO NO NO! You have it allll wrong! We invest all of our time and money into making the game look pretty!
1-UP : Ok well... I quit!
Pz out Napoleon.
