Entering its fifth calendar year of existence in the States, the Virtual Console seems to have evened out. It's locked into a pretty regular update schedule of one new game per week, and the bulk of these releases are good, if not great.
The 1990s were a time where mech-suit manga and television shows were starting to filter into the United States. The result was that we got a boatload of cool mech games like Metal Warriors.
Still love the Power Rangers games but most of these underrated games cost an arm and a leg to buy unless you kept them around when they released.
yeah I had to resort to an everdrive cart for my Analogue Super NT because some game prices are just ridiculous.
Sparkster. Like Rocket Knight Adventures on the Sega Genesis neither game seems to be brought up much. I played both game a whole lot growing up.
Wow, would you look at that? A game list with some actual forgotten gems. Color me impressed.
Good stuff. 👍
I cannot praise EVO The Search for Eden enough. This game deserves a remake as it’s one of the wildest platformer JRPGs ever made. The concept of spending XP on evolving and devolving on the fly to navigate the world was really interesting. Evolution in games is rarely tackled creatively but EVO nailed it.
This was one of my favorite games during the 16-Bit era. Me and my cousin rented it not knowing what it was and ended up finishing it. Still, to this day, one of the most unique games I've ever played. Very addictive too.
This game is truly tops. 👍
"Final Fight Original Sound Collection marks a very important release for fans of Capcom’s popular beat-em-up franchise. City Connection and Clarice Disc’s robust, six-disc double jewel case sports five CDs of music containing nearly every variation of the series’ tunes, a majority of which have never received a legitimate release before." - Patrick Kulikowski
Shanghai II: Dragon's Eye is a solid mahjong game.
