Zelda 2's final portion is traversing the caverns of Death Mountain? Now that's a funny slip up...

I want to complete the Smash cast, at least. I missed a lot when they were new, but on the other hand, this also means the scalpers have let their grips loosen on the prices.

How's that work out though? See, the thing abou the N64 compared to modern games (and game controllers) was that the Analog stick and the Digital Pad were never secondary to each other. It was either one or the other. A game like Mario 64 uses the analog stick and the Z Button, but the L button and D-Pad are never once used (or functional) for the game. Thus, you'd hold the controller with the middle and right prongs. Kirby 64, meanwhile, uses Digital pad exclusively. The shoulder buttons don't get any real use, and Z is flat out ignored. You hold it on the right and left prongs when you play. It's understandble, really, they went this way: Analog control and full 3D movement were fledgling at the time, so it makes sense you'd design your game to work around one form of control. It's partially why the PSX with analog, the PS2, and the PS3 controllers all are a little odd: In an era where analog control is the focus, they have their left analog stick in a "secondary" position, which is a little counter-intuitive.

Nintendo Power reveals first information about Mega Man 10!

In no particular order... 1: Sunset Riders, for fun and frantic four player side scrolling shooting. 2: . A little short, and really repetitive, but a fun way to fight for freedom wherever there is trouble.3: Super Burgertime. I did like the original, but Super is just more colorful and fun. Plus it has actual sound, and isn't hair pulling difficult. 4: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The original arcade game, not Turtles in Time. Time was superior when it was ported to the SNES. 5: Dungeons and Dragons: Shadow of Mystara. Speaking of beat-em ups, here's a classic one from Capcom. Notable because of the titular roleplay elements. Also, Thief is a hottie. 6: . The classic game with the saucy title got a 90s revamp, and it's just so much fun to play.7: . Though not Arcade games technically, you'd be stupid to have a dream arcade with NO pinball!8: Aerofighters (any number). Your classic vertical shooter format. Get a friend over for wonderful fun frying over the jungle. I'll admit, I'm hard pressed to name two more. What to pick? Ms Pac-Man? Joust? Sinistar? Dragon's Lair? There's simply too many to name and narrow it down to... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYnYnbLjq5Q

Super Mario Bros. Hard as hell, but it was all we had for a long time. Eventually, Mario 2 worked its way in, and I was all over that because how cartoony and fun it was. I was speechless the Christmas I got Super Mario Bros 3. I don't even remember how long it took me to beat that game... just that it was the biggest Mario moment ever for me. I didn't see Super Mario World until much later... likely in Nintendo Power 28. But to play it for real? Man, not until emulators, I think... or my friend's house. I never got a Super until much later.

This thread convinced me to buy LttP on my Virtual Console earlier in the week. Memories of when I first saw the game (it was the first SNES game I saw in motion) flood back so well. Entered the Dark World... it's amazing how much this game is burned into my head.

Final Fantasy V, Chrono Trigger, Breath of Fire 3 and 4, Pokemon, and the Paper Mario franchise off the top of my head.

Hey, Kirby's Dreamland 3 just came out! Not just that, but Castlevania 3 just came out this last Monday.

Funny how now we expect that nowadays. But back then the boss was impossible.

There are three doors in the original Metroid. Blue are standard. You shoot them, they open. Red is next. Five missiles are required to open them each time. There are also another color door, I believe a DARK red, which take 20 or so missiles to get open. But those are rare.

There's just too much that makes me worry. Comments from the dev team like "We had to tone down the combination moves, since they took away reasons to get into a vehicle" and such like that. The team aspect is why Banjo wasn't JUST another shallow Mario 64 style collectathon.

Oh that is just beautiful. This game is looking to be a glorious sequel to Wario Land 4.

For the first time since the advent of cel-shading, they can FINALLY boast "You're playing a cartoon!" with the graphics.

It really did. Because you get awkward animation loop of legs just "gliding" over the scenery.

Now's a wonderful time to like giant robots. Heck, there's three different styles of toy on the shelves (the Movie is going out, the new cartoon is in, and they're having a line of original characters re-imagined alongside). As well, the new movie was a hit, and the new cartoon is incredibly popular. So this is just a general transformer thread. They've been around for nearly 25 years, surely there's a lot of fond memories, favorite characters, "I had this one toy" tales, or just general mullarky worth discussing. My favorite Autobot was Hound (the green army jeep). I always liked the character, and jumped for joy when I heard that they plan to update him this upcoming year!

Hmm...so much potentional. A lot of great songs in Castlevania, Final Fantasy V had the best soundtrack of all FF games, I can't just ignore Donkey Kong Country 2, the Crash Bandicoot franchise had a unique sound in their early games...

I really can't subscribe to NP these days. But I recall when I did, it was for the (now infamous) Zelda Collector's disc. Prior to that, a friend had subscribed for a long time. He even gave me the Smashing Live! CD they included in one year. That's the orchestrated Smash Bros album.

I skipped on Advance since 4 was never my favorite, but the DS remake looks like it offers a new enough twist (with no glitches!) that I might buy it up. Hey, and who knows? Maybe they'll do it to FFV too, my favorite in the series!

Heyo. I just joined up, obviously, but who knows what will happen? I hope to contribute as much as I download. I'll keep my eyes on thrift stores and yard sales. I feel bad, though. Coming to this site reminds me how I had Issue 28 (Mega Man: Dr Wily's Revenge) of Nintendo Power for so many years, before it ultimately got destroyed! Still, maybe in the future something good will arise...
