Well, I agree, some older games were great! Super Mario World, Sonic the Hedgehog, Final Fantasy VI, and others. You name it! But yet, yeah, they were difficult, but so are some newer games. May I ask, did your brother ever 100% those games? That's when I "beat the game" so to say.

For example, Mario Galaxy 2. Sure, it's easy to get to Bowser and win. But it's extremely hard to get all 100% in that game. Ugh... so many nightmares! Kirby's Epic Yarn is like that as well. So easy, a toddler could do it! To 100% it? ...I'll get back to you in a month. Final Fantasy XIII is an excellent example. I love Final Fantasy XIII, but it is so hard! Believe me, after chipping away some dude's health for 40 minutes (you're not even close to being done, either!) you'll die. Gets old after a bit, but so rewarding!

In conclusion, in a lot of games, beating it and 100%ing it are two completely different things. Maybe your brother should focus more on completing his games 100%. Not just beating it.
