Ah...the Sony PlayStation! One of the few things my dad actually did for me was introduce me to this console growing up. I have been playing video games since I could ever walk and talk. I have always been a Nintendo kid before, my first console was a NES. Atari was before my time so the only Atari I knew was at the arcade. After a while I got my SNES. When it was time for the N64 to come out, I already … more

Note: I will try to post more often but not so much in this community at the moment. I have roms on the Wii that I can use to review some older Nintendo games and can buy them on the virtual console, but as is the definite case for the Genesis, I don't have the older consoles, so I can honestly review a game until I have played it recently. I'm sure you can understand that I can't … more

The kingdom of Hyrule is in danger of being taken over; a young boy named Link follows his uncle who receives a telepathic call from Princess Zelda begging for help. Link comes across his uncle wounded in the castle where she's held; he takes his shield and sword, and continues the mission to find Zelda in the castle. -summary Up to this day, I know many fans of the Zelda … more

Many gamers consider this the best game in the NES library, and while I won't say that since I don't think I've played a wide enough array of games for that console to come up with such a conclusion, I'll say that this is my favorite game with the Mario title on it. This is my favorite of all the Mario games since I think among Mario's "classic" games, this one is the … more

You know what I hate about trendsetting games? The fact that they set trends. When the new hip character cashes in, everyone begins copying the formula with the hopes of cashing in themselves. So while the original game goes on to gaming superstardom and possibly gaming classicdom, the shelves almost collapse under the weight of wannabes, which almost always get overlooked in favor of sequels anyway. … more

Before I get on with the review, I have to share some nostalgia with you. I believe my first encounter with Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was at the nearest Wal-Mart back in the late summer/early fall of 1992 and I remember seeing the game on display in the videogame section, and I played the Emerald Hill Zone, and I couldn't wait for the game to come out. Fast forward several months later, and it's … more

I'll admit that whenever I think of this game, I do get pretty nostalgic over it since this was really the first videogame I ever got heavily engrossed in, since I got this at the age of four on Christmas Day of 1991 (I honestly don't remember much of my life before then). However, the nostalgia factor does NOT influence the rating I have for this game, I'm strictly rating this game on … more

YodaSan2 reviewed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turt....
April 06, 2012
posted in Classic Console Games
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time is not only the best TMNT game out there, it is SO much more! The 90's through the very early 2000's were the best years in gaming, and It definitely goes to show. The turtles were "da' bomb" back then and playing this as a kid blew my freaking socks off. I remember playing the original TMNT on the NES. Oh, … more

![Streets of Rage 2 [Sega Genesis]](http://media2.lunch.com/d/d3/664950_temp.jpg?1 "Streets of Rage 2 [Sega Genesis]")
Ya gotta love the brawler! The most stupidly fun genre of gaming during the 16-bit era, brawlers were everything video games were meant to exemplify back then: Walking around, just beating the living crap out of absolutely everyone in sight, not worrying about the potential consequences. With Streets of Rage 2, brawlers were at their greatest height as a genre, and Capcom's Final Fight and Sega's … more

The legacy of Super Mario Bros. 2 is an odd one. On the one hand, it helped permanently define the Mario canon - the ability to pick up and throw enemies is in there in large part because of Super Mario Bros. 2. Birdo, Shy Guy, and Pokey also received their first introductions in Mario 2. It was Mario 2 which first cast Luigi as the tall, stringy, high-jumping brother of Mario. Yet, there are very … more

Mega Man kept on rolling in the 90s from the 80s with Mega Man 3. To me at this point, each game was an improvement over the other. Maybe the soundtrack isn't as memorable as Mega Man 2's, or some of the weapons aren't as cool but the game offers far more game play with tightened controls and more levels over the other two games at a time when Mega Man was still fresh and … more

Well I just talked about one classic SNES game, heres another one. Back when we still had those things called arcades, arcade to home transfers really didn't get any justice till the 16 bit era rolled around. Sure there were some decent ones like Atari 5200's Pac Man and NES's Gauntlet 2 were decent, there were plenty others that left a lot to be desired. … more

A trip down Super Nintendo Memory Lane isn't complete without remembering this gem. Super Metroid was another one of those crowning jewels in the SNES library that will cement it as one of the, if not THE greatest system of all time. When the Super Nintendo hit, a lot of sequels or what were later thought of as "remakes" got the "Super" prefix … more

The first Zelda game ever released. This game was like no other. It was the first game to include directions to move, other than side scrolling, you could move up and down as well. It was also one of the biggest adventure games of it's time. I mean the game had a save feature, which was new at the time, it was that big! It contained nine action-packed dungeons to explore, each with a boss at the … more

Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.... Wait, those last two are no good. So how about this: Sonic, he can really move, Sonic, he's got an attitude, Sonic, he's the fastest thing ALIIIIIIIIIIIIVE! Now, since I just scared myself out of any sleep for the next month, I might as well kill my newfound spare time by writing about … more

When gaming fist got off the ground again Nintendo pretty much dominated the world of gaming and Mario had become a more recognizable icon than Mickey Mouse at that time. Seeing an opportunity to really add to variety of gaming, Sega developed Sonic the Hedgehog. Notably enough (at least to most gamers) the entire conception of Sonic and Sega, for that matter was just done for the sake … more

When the Super Nintendo came out in the early 90's many games that were big on the NES were remade or had sequels that were bigger and better over they're 8 bit counterparts. Gradius, Castlevania, Mario and others all had big hits on the old console and jumped into the 16 bit lifestyle with both feet to great success. Link, the hero of THE NES search and adventure game got the … more

Awesome game that gave Link the 16 bit treatment much like Mario was given earlier. Classic.

Super Mario Kart for the SNES is the first and some would say STILL the greatest in what started the Mario Kart racing franchise. It was my first SNES game and I still find it dear. Gameplay is great. Pick a racer, a circuit with it's own challenging tracks and race for the finish. Pick up power ups to race ahead of the competition or shoot them down. … more
