Re: NES/SNES Gaming Thread

Protip for Genesis owners:

Get a model 1 system that says "HIGH DEDFINITION GRAPHICS" at the top.



It has a different sound system than all the other Genesis models, and it gives you way better sound quality.

Re: NES/SNES Gaming Thread

I know this is a NES/SNES thread but wanted to chime in that the past 2-3 days I've been more relaxed and "stress free" since firing back up the Gamecube. I dusted off my games and console and have been "relaxing" since.
So far I've put some good time in on SM Sunshine, Paper Mario 1000 year Door, Animal Crossing and Legend of Zelda (Collector Disk and playing the original game). I could just hook up the NES and play it but no biggie.
Tonight I'll throw in some Wind Waker also.

Gamecube was one system that I never picked up but always wanted one, as there's a bunch of non-sports games I'd like to play like SW: Roque Squadron (I think, I know there's a couple Rogue games for the GC), and of course, the Mario and Zelda games.

I'm trying to build up my non-sports game library for my PS2 Slim right now, and also looking to add some NES games to my collection over the holidays.

Re: NES/SNES Gaming Thread

Gamecube had some great games:

Super Monkey Ball (one of my all-time favorites!)
Super Monkey Ball 2 (not as good as 2, but still great)
Metroid Prime (better than all the weak sequels)
F-Zero GX (still one of the best arcade racers you can get)
Smash Bros. Melee (better than Brawl IMO)

Re: NES/SNES Gaming Thread

Alright folks, I managed to find my old NES in the garage of my old house I grew up in, and it still works.

I need to buy a controller, but I'm looking for suggestions on games, Something fun(Not Zelda).

You looking for RPGs or just anything fun? If your looking for a good RPG, Star Tropics and Faxanadu are some good ones many people may not know about.

If it's not genre specific, I'd recommend Ninja Gaiden, Adventure Island, Contra/Super C, TMNT 2, Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers, DuckTales just to name a few.

I don't know if that helps you at all. If you would like to know some more obscure gems, I could point you in that direction also.

Re: NES/SNES Gaming Thread

Anyone have it?

http://hyperkin.com/index.php/supaboy-portable-pocket-snes-console.html/

The SupaBoy will play original SNES cartridges on a built-in 3.5” LCD screen and is designed to look like an original SNES controller including a D-pad, face buttons, as well as right and left shoulder buttons. The SupaBoy also includes two front loading ports that are compatible with full-size SNES controllers and video/audio out, allowing up to two players to play the SupaBoy on a regular TV screen.

Re: NES/SNES Gaming Thread

I like the Amazon review:

f all the joy and happiness in the world could be somehow be put into a box, it would look something like the picture above. It's a portable Super Nintendo. That's right, portable. Sit up in bed and play Tetris Attack. Long car ride? Play Super Mario All Stars. Boring funeral? Donkey Kong Country. Sorry aunt Esther, you will be missed. I will track down all the Kong letters in your honor.

So in conclusion i love the Supaboy. Its so bad. The day it came in the mail was the best day of my life. Take that birth of my son.

Re: NES/SNES Gaming Thread

Battery life is only 2.5 hours.

I'd definitely get one if it was longer. Maybe they'll make a newer model someday with better battery life.

Re: NES/SNES Gaming Thread

The price listing isn't too bad. I was expecting a lot worse..

I have Contra and TMNT on my 360 so there's that. I search on amazon for games and RBI Baseball and Kung Fu (because I remember playing that as a kid) caught my attention

I have the SW Rogue games and they are very fun.
My GC Games:
All the SW Rogue games, SM Sunshine, Paper Mario 1000 Year door, Madden 03, 05, 07, Zelda Collection, Zelda Ocarina with Master Quest, Zelda WindWaker, All the Mario party games. Think that's it.
Plus the GB player so I can play my GB games on TV.

I need to rebuy the Metriod games also.

Gamecube had some great games:

Super Monkey Ball (one of my all-time favorites!)
Super Monkey Ball 2 (not as good as 2, but still great)
Metroid Prime (better than all the weak sequels)
F-Zero GX (still one of the best arcade racers you can get)
Smash Bros. Melee (better than Brawl IMO)

Never played Smash Bros for some reason but may check it out.
