No, no. This is could be good. Someday, decades from now, we will be Old People, the ones who "run things." In a possible future, the use of drone in our present, will have made physical warfare pointless. Instead, we will resort to old ways, reinterpreted for that possible future. Instead of dueling, there will be arcade battles, like the ones in the arcades of our youth.

Once again, a high score will mean something. Beating Contra without the Konami code will once again command respect. The guy who can pull of a 30 hit combo in Street Fighter II will once again reign supreme.

But, you know. Probably not. In some ways I think Super Mario Bros. is an updated hoop and stick.
