Wow I'm kind of surprised of there hasn't been more responses to this...
The video game industry is HUGE nowadays. My best friend is studying to be a game designer (code), and a few months ago he got an internship working for Microsoft, and the internship is fully covered and approved by the college. I'm studying right now to be a writer with the hopes that I can be a game writer one day and work for Capcom (if you couldn't tell by my avatar), though I'm not Japanese so that probably won't happen.
I still remember the days when I used to go to Blockbuster (a (now-bankrupt) video store, and video stores themselves are now an archaic business as well!) to rent video games. Now you don't even need a physical medium to play the games, you can just download them!

See, games didn't used to be like that back in the nintendo days games didn't explain sh*t and to top it off the games were hard as hell BUT~
Within their limitation is their ingenuity game designers found a way to explain everything to you not through words but rather by instinct this vid should explain what i mean

As far as the difficulty of video games...well I was born in 1993 and I've never even held an NES controller in my hands before, so I can't really comment on the difficulty of NES games. I've never beaten Super Mario 64 for the Nintendo 64, and I don't think I've ever played a game since then that's more difficult. I don't understand how anybody could have the time and patience to complete that game.
