The RDP is a handheld gaming device that resembles a large Game Gear system, or the more recent Wii U Gamepad. I’m playing the original gold NES cartridge, and I’m playing it on Retro-Bit’s Retro Duo Portable, or RDP, and the experience is almost exactly the same as I remember. We’re all reconnecting with the very roots noted on what has now become my old, worn, and faded t-shirt. Meanwhile, I’ve been exploring an open world and braving treacherous dungeons in The Legend of Zelda, a game that was first released in 1986 on the company’s first home gaming system. About a decade later, and Nintendo is topping charts with callbacks to the old days in The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and Super Mario 3D World, entries into two of the company’s very first franchises.
About a decade ago, I acquired and proudly wore a t-shirt bearing the image of a Nintendo Entertainment System controller, with the words “Know Your Roots” scrawled boldly below it on my chest.
