In short, GBA on WiiU is great! No, really!

I enjoyed playing my GBA games on my GameCube GBA Player, so I imagine I wouldn't have any problems playing them on Wii U as well.

Taito Legends - Jungle Hunt


Posted on 04/06/2014 at 08:45 PM | Filed Under Blogs

Yeah Jungle Hunt was very prominent in arcades when I was a kid.  At least, I noticed it was at nearly every arcade I went to back then.  I didn't really like it much because I wasn't very good at it.

I think it's interesting that it originally had a Tarzan-like character and the game was called Jungle King but they had to change it, like you said.

I Went Outside Today

I try to go outside nearly every day.  But not today, it's raining.

I can't believe Yu-Gi-Oh is sitll around.  My brothers used to love all that stuff.

I Played Did Dug On an Arcade Cabinet

That "Steam Roller" game you played is probably Crush Roller, otherwise known as Make Traxx in the US.  Crush Roller was one of SNK's first games.  There is even a remake of it on the Neo Geo Pocket Color (I have it).

While I'm proud to have written for The Dallas Morning News, they kind of screwed me over in the end, so I'm a bit bitter about them, too.

You're lucky you get to go do things like this.  My excitement for the weekend usually consists of me going to Wal-Mart...if I'm lucky.

Retro Game of the Week: Wario Land II


Posted on 04/05/2014 at 08:27 PM | Filed Under Blogs

I disagree.  Wario Land: Shake It, while not as good as Wario Land 2, was still a good game in its own right with beautifully animated hand-drawn graphics.  Plus, Capt. Syrup returned in it.

While most WarioWare games are not as good as the original, I still think they're good for quick and quirky fun.

The Unnecessary Evolution of Mario Party


Posted on 04/05/2014 at 08:25 PM | Filed Under Blogs

Mario Party games are fun, but only if there are a lot of people you can play with.  And my number of gamer friends who can still play with me is dwindling.  Plus, all Mario Party games are pretty much the same.  If you've played one, you've played them all.

Retro Game of the Week: Wario Land II


Posted on 04/05/2014 at 12:35 PM | Filed Under Blogs

I agree, Wario Land 2 is probably the best one, even though they're all great.  I enjoy the Wario titles more than most regular Mario games, really. This may be my second favorite Game Boy game (first is Link's Awakening)

Not being able to die was brilliant, and having to figure out when and where to get hit by particular enemies gave the game some clever puzzle elements. I also loved the branching pathways.  PROTIP: At the beginning part of the first stage, DON'T get out of bed when you hear the alarm clock.  I found that path out by accident!

Plus, the game has Captain Syrup and she's awesome.  Nintendo should use her more.

The Unnecessary Evolution of Mario Party

I've played more than one Mario Party game, but I really mostly only played the first, and I think that's all I needed to play.  I have one of the GameCube Mario Party titles, but I only bought it because it was at a charity auction.

So Long, Folks. I'm Going to Work for SEGA Now!

I've never played any of the other ones.  Any characters I would like?
