NintendoLife: In the future, nests of hornets will be the least of pest control's worries. Tumble Pop is filled with strange beasts, from living skeletons to little grey aliens, manic clowns and Sweetums from The Muppets. In this arcade platformer, it's your job to clean them up with nothing more than a trusty – and presumably engine-powered – vacuum cleaner.
"Bothersome as it is for me to see food go to waste, if I catch a can of flat soda idly sitting on the table like a forgotten toy, it's headed straight for the sink. With my dislike for the stuff being greater than any conscientiousness to conserve resources, you can imagine the disappointment that came over me as I uncovered similar properties in Tumble Pop." -- Wiiloveit.com
This time out we’ll be looking exclusively at original Gameboy titles that Nintendo has slipped out over the last two weeks. There are two bonifide Gameboy classics now available that gave a pair of Nintendo mascots games worthy of their names. First up is the first ever Wario-based adventure Warioland: Super Mario Land 3. The evil Mario was invented for Nintendo’s first handheld and his first solo outing (after serving duties as a Bowser stand-in in Mario Land 2) is strong enough that it’s easy to see why the company kept him around. Next up was the Kid Icarus sequel Kid Icarus: Of Myths And Monsters that actually topped the NES original and was the last outing for Pitt until his recent 3DS resurrection.
