As usual, limitations on cartridge made things difficult. MK2 on SNES is a big improvement over the first game. Thanks for all your insight! 

Y'know, I just recently saw the MK movie again, and it's not bad at all. Lots of fun. 

MK is the granddaddy of violent games. I'm not a fan of super violent games either, which is probably one reason why I tend to stick with Nintendo games. 

I will definitely be picking this up probably some time in the Fall. Some of these games are so obscure for the West, which I think is great that we can finally play them. Also great that they included so many Japan-only games (although they aren't translated into English, right?) 

No one ever talks about Super Circuit. It seems to be the spiritual successor to the original, but the original doesn't hold up that well imo so that means this one doesn't hold up well either. Some of the tracks are cool though. 

Yeah, you're weird lol The original MK doesn't hold up too well imo. Multiplayer can be a lot of fun, but the one player mode is sooooo hard. 

Astral Chain is amazing! I was able to beat it last year, one of my favorite Switch games. The story is bizarre, but the combat is so good. 

Also, how are you liking Kirby & Rainbow Curse? That's a game I've been wanting to pick up. 

I really want to get Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingsom as I've heard great things about it and it looks gorgeous! Also, Pokken Tournament is a lot of fun, although it might be a little too technical for your kids. 

Yeah, the spells and items were certainly a problem, resulting in some trial and error until you learned what they all did. 

I actually had the NES version of this game when I was ten or so. I thought it was fine, but it couldn't compete with Tetris Attack. If I had played it when it first came out (which I couldn't because I was too young), I probably would've enjoyed it more. But you're right, the game is a bit dated now by puzzle game standards.
