    • Has anyone played Action 52?

    God, the price was rediculous even for all those games. XD There was a lot of space shooters. :/

    I saw that on AVGN. It looked awful, although apparently Cheetamen was the only half-decent game on there.

    Did you know there was a Genesis version of that as well?

    Yes, except in that version there were... a lot more puzzles. XD And Pong. :/

    I only remember Action 52 because that's where the Cheetah men comes from. I also remember playing that weird game where you have a lollipop as a weapon. It was... weird and frustrating to play. XD

    • You mean this game?

    Kid_Icarus_NES_box_art.png


    Yeah, I've only played it for a little while though, until I got stuck.. somewhere near the beginning, haha. But I'll finish it someday, because I love Kid Icarus for the 3DS, so, I just wonder how the origional Kid Icarus would play out. ^^

    I thought about buying it for VC on my Wii, but it's a bit too late for that now, eh? Haha. I would probably just go off and forget about it, along with the other bajillion games I have on there. v__v

    It's never too late! =O If you ever get a Wii U, you can still send your data over to it!

    I plan to buy it on the VC if I ever get a chance too~

    • Ah, the good ol' NES. I'm not even a huge Nintendo fan, and yet I think the NES is a brilliant system. I mean, it brought us timeless classics like Super Mario Bros. 3, which is still a great game, and it innovated the gaming industry.

    This was back before Nintendo devolved into remaking the same boring, repetitive "New" Super Mario Bros. every year (Seriously, I don't know why Nintendo fans defend this move but bash CoD for doing the exact same thing). This was back when a new Mario game meant a new adventure.

    But seriously, the NES was and still is phenomenal. It brought us so many great games that there are too many to count.

    Now the LJN games, on the other hand...

    In seven years, we've had four NSMB games. And that was one game per console at that. In the same seven years there's been like ten CoD games. Not exactly apples and apples here.

    I love the original SMB games and the NSMB just doesn't compare. They're more of a reboot. People probably fell in love with the original NSMB because it was the first game like that since Super Mario Land 2 on the Game Boy. But... it was simply average. NSMBWii was a bit better, more challenging, but still bland. I was not interested in the 3DS's NSMB2 at all and I haven't played it.

    But NSMB U? And Luigi U? I want to play those. They look... better. Visually. And from word of mouth I've come across from people who have played it, it is more in line with what they had hoped the original NSMB would have been in the first place.

    I asked someone if they knew what the Atari was. They had no idea what I was talking about. o__O

    As for LJN, I saw a video of some of the games. Dear god they look terrible. About as bad as Action 51.

    Maybe they were too young? Or don't take an interest in retro gaming like I do. And woah there, even if LJN games are bad, I wouldn't lower it down to any level near Action 52.

    Anyone else amazed by Super Mario Bros 3?

    It's almost unbelievable how Nintendo managed to create that game on such a limited system.

    Actually, I'm kind of not suprised at all; the NES was so influential in the side-scrolling aspect, because of the general great games that it created, like Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros., Castlevania, and so on. But yeah, I really do love Super Mario Bros 3! It was the only mario game that I didn't finish though... :(

    Hah, well, I guess they deciphered him as an actual "Man". :3 Otherwise, I don't think he looks bad at all! Although... he's as tall as Quickman? @__@

    • Those MegaMan box arts are terrifying tbh. As for SMB3, I actually grew up with the SNES version of it (from Super Mario All-Stars) and it was my favorite game as a kid! :) I have the NES version on VC, and I was playing it the other night actually. So fun! I got the toot. ;3

    Spoiler:


    We always called it the toot instead of the flute or the whistle. I blame this line right here. XD

    Ugh, LJN...

    The very same company that brought us The Uncanny X-Men, Wolverine, Jaws, Nightmare on Elm Street, and The Karate Kid. Not to mention the Rollin' Rocker accessory, that had a reputation of causing injuries.

    Surprisingly and unfortunately enough, LJN made every single NES game movie adaptation. :x
