The transition to 3D wasn't nearly as smooth as some remember. Here's a look at how 2D gaming is still great and why you should care.
If you were a 90s kid excited about Nintendo’s upcoming N64 console, you likely read something somewhere about the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive, also known as the 64DD or DD64.
How the collision of an ionizing particle with an appropriately sensitive microelectronic device can change your luck around.
The N64 didn't have a lot of games, but it did have some absolute classics. These games aren't any of those.
I've actually beaten The New Adventures of Superman. And yes it truly is a heinous piece of crap. I'd give it a score of negative 10,000.
If only they gave you checkpoints for the indoor levels it could have been a negative 10 score. But that one missing feature completely ruined any chance of it being considered 'playable' and turned it into 'torture'.
Clay Fighter 63 1/3rd was legitimately a good game. Mortal Kombat Mythologies as well. Those two games don't belong on the list. Superman obviously gets top spot. WCW Nitro, Power rangers, and War gods were also pretty bad. Not familiar with the rest of the games on the list.
I know I'm the minority, but I actually HATED the PS1/N64 era. My favorite console from that time was the Saturn because it still had a ton of 2D games.
It's not that I hated 3d. I had been 3d gaming on the PC for several years already. What I hated was how 3d got shoehorned into every franchise, whether or not it needed it. Super Mario 64? Awesome game, but what happened to my 2D Mario? Earthworm Jim 3D? LOL. 3D fighting games? I want my sprites!
Again, I know I'm in the minority but I'm glad the indie scene has been bringing back 2d-style games.
I like how the comments Uncharted once, and then the two comments start hating on it by doubting the awards it got -_-
I understand that not everyone likes every type of genre (one of my PSN friends don't really like 3D games because they give him motion sickness), but Uncharted 2, despite people still saying "it won because of weaker competition", still deserves all the awards it got.
