Frankly this article is an embarrassing collection of trivia and unrelated shenanigans. It was general trend in the industry in the late 1980s, and should be covered in the article on video games in the 80s. The title itself is a neologism that was coined years later (note the lack of contemporary sources using the term), and many of the sources here don't even use the term at all; they describe a game as "hard", and are for the NES, but it's pure WP:SYNTH to then use this label on them. oknazevad (talk) 18:31, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

↑ Agreed. This wasn't a term. Let's not make it a term. It's like Nintendo's the only "retrogaming" company already to some, and the rest of the industry never quite existed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.39.161.213 (talk) 21:55, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Further agreed; 'Nintendo hard' was a briefly faddish term ten or so years ago that misrepresents and misattributes a visible-in-hindsight trend of the 1980s. This page should have stayed deleted. — 74.102.77.55 (talk) 14:23, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why was the article brought back? I agree it should have stayed deleted. Jotamide (talk) 12:46, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
