With Nintendo confirming today that its WiiWare service, offering original downloadable games, will launch in Japan on March 25, Nintendic has pooled together information on each of the nine titles that players in Japan will be able to pick from on day one. Giving us all a taster of what we can expect when WiiWare arrives in other territories, head inside for a rather handy preview of the most promising (and frankly rubbish) downloads on offer.
Despite skyrocketing retro game prices the NES remains a deep trove of excellent games that, if you can avoid eBay sellers, are really quite affordable for new collectors.
I remember one of the levels in Retro City Rampage was paying homage to those seaweed segments. Not quite as hard but man did it bring back bad memories of my many deaths on that level. Never did beat that game without the Game Genie. Same with Battletoads. lol
The top-down view theme music was stuck in my head all day as a kid.
I'm not sure if I ever completed a no-damage seaweed run.
Double Dragon 2 is one of the best!! Several good games on this list! Shadowgate, P.O.W., and Klax. That is actually a super fun puzzle game! TMNT, I think every time after the seaweed, I only had like 1 Turtle left. lol
Shadowgate was how I got so familiar with Nintendo's helpline lol. But man did I love that game.
And wow I forgot all about P.O.W. until you mentioned it. Man being a kid with a NES really was the good ol days.
Best birthday ever: 15 and I got a Super Nintendo with Super Mario World, Pilot Wings and Street Fighter. (Spoiled rotten) And I saw Basic Instinct at the theater!
"Although the NES' game library is renowned, its puzzlers don't get enough recognition so here are the 10 best NES puzzle games." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Plumber... doctor... referee... spelunker... Our boy Mario has tried out every gig under the sun, and it has led to a veritable smorgasbord of spin-offs of all shapes and sizes. With that being said, it's time to work out which of those endeavours is the very best!!
