9/10 I loved every minute playing it. Heroes made a huge difference because all of a sudden the RTS genre became more RPG. It mixed Diablo and Wc2 together, sort of The custom games on battle.net also birthed the Dota/LoL genre

Looking at the games on my shelf this week made me think Sony's Jersey Devil, being a first party 3D platformer collect-a-thon would normally have gotten a sequel. Not that I'd particularly want one.

I wish Chrono Trigger had a sequel.

Yes yes thanks. 42 now

You had the game since launch and you placed 5th?

Showing this week's acquisitions: Ice Breaker for 3DO and Deadly Creatures for the Wii. Ice Breaker was quite a score, considering I paid about $47CAD shipped on ebay.

More Pawn Swoopings! Yesterday I was in a remote part of western Montreal and grabbed this pair of Wii games for $30CAD, which is half their original asking price: Then today I went to two more pawn shops. In the first I snagged Mario Galaxy, 007 Golden Eye and most surprisingly Mega Man 3 and Link's Awakening for the GB, all for 109$. The last store had some heavy hitters, including a loose Rockin' Kats but they were priced accordingly. Still the guy cut me a super good deal on Dusty Diamond and a handful of clean N64 carts. 152$ paid for these total paid: $291 CAD expected value: $450 CAD gains: $159 CAD not bad not bad

8/10. I preferred Vice City.

8/10 for me. It came as a bonus game with the 3DO my family somehow ended up with in '94. True, the challenge resides exclusively in memorizing the inputs to keep the scenes going, but I still had a lot of fun doing it just to see what each next room would hold. I do like to recommend the game, it's the best among its kind

Hidden in plain sight gem: Donkey Kong for Game Boy. Mendel Palace for NES has been mentioned and I definitely like to recommend it. Smart Ball on SNES. Dragon's Fury on Genesis (Devil's Crush on TG-16) Lost in Shadow on Wii. This game is a staple of Wii hidden gems lists, but people still overlook it.

5/10 I prefer SMB2 Mario Madness but I wouldn't say SMB3 is inferior. But it is inferior to SMW.

I had to go check, and Turok on N64 has an M rating. So that's the one.

My favorite is WCW nWo Revenge, and I’d recommend picking that one since it’s insanely cheap.

Super Mario hands down. I feel like maybe FF is more notorious for it, but all Nintendo had to do was add «Advance » to any of their titles and be done with it. Now we have « Super Mario Bros Advance 4: Super Mario Bros 3 »

Street Fighter II and any other game ressembling it. I thought I was good at it, until I played people who are actually good at it.

I found one in Montreal, Canada 3 years ago. Posted on NA. It was 3 screws.

Playing Loop Hero on Switch and it has me completely hypnotized. Enough typing, I gotta get back to looping.

NES: Super Mario Bros SNES: Super Mario World Atari Lynx: Batman Returns 3DO: Crash n Brun and Dragon’s Lair N64: Wave Race 64 and Turok GameCube: Mario Kart Double Dash PS1: Tekken 3 PC: Unreal Tournament and Ultima PS2: GTA 3 Wii: Wii Sports and LEGO Star Wars The Complete Saga PS3: Marvel vs Capcom 3 3DS: Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse Switch: Diablo III

SMB2USA? Come on, people. At this point there are more Mario titles that aren’t 2D platformers, so SMB1-2-3-W and the SML games are in the same sub-group of Mario games. The Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks to me detonates from the series.

Leave it to me to mention Gun.Smoke! The NES version in particular adds a quest-like element in that you have to find a « wanted » poster to spawn the boss, otherwise the level loops around. So you play a lonesome cowboy out for bounty and justice, you can buy weapons and ride a horse which grants better movement and a little bit of bullet absorbtion. The controls are fun: B shoots at 10:00 and 11:00, A shoots at 1:00 and 2:09. A+B shoot at 12:00.

The only imported games I’ll ever own are Japanese 3DO games (and Korean but they come in cardboard longboxes) and I do very much prefer having the spine card of course. Which ones are you getting?

I’ll segue from the talk about Super Mario 3D World. If a game is ported to a different console, it’s a port and it’s not a variant. It becomes its own game. You can’t just pop Super Mario 3D + Bowser’s Fury in a WiiU.

When it’s Super Mario Bros. 2
