Tekken has always been my favorite fighting game series. This was an interesting read.

I want tbe home console Evercade console. In fact I think I might pick one up next pay check.

I never knew and always wondered what the N&B meant on the Lego Blocks in Super Mario Land 2. I just figured they were one of the developers initials they put there for some reason.

I remember seeing the advertisement for that contest, although I never entered due to my fear of flying.

If anything I would think if anyone won the contest they got the money instead if the trip couldn't happen for political reasons. Like the person who won that contest from Nintendo Power to be in the Mask 2. Since the movie was canceled they got an amount of money equivalent to the prize.

Kinda surprised Double Dragon didn't make the list. The Master system version is alot better then the NES one.

Castlevania SotN (Series X) It's that time of year again. I decided to do my yearly playthrough of SotN to coincide with Halloween this year.

Forza Horizon 3 (Series X) Been in the mood for a FH game so I figure it was time to go back to this one and finish a few loose ends.

TMNT 3 Radical Rescue (Switch) An interesting Metroidvania type of game. I never played it during the Gameboy days but I am enjoying it now.

Well looks like I will pass on this. Doesn't contain the original games, I won't buy it.

@TheBigK It's just everywhere man. Since COVID started, and now how bad inflation is people are just doing stupid things. It also doesn't help that the police won't do anything. The store I work at shoplifting is such a common thing and happens hourly. And people just walk out with shopping carts full of stuff and we can't do anything about it. We call the police and they won't even show up. It's a sad time we live in now.

This sort of thing will continue to happen till these lazy politicians finali come down hard on gun control. This isn't the wild west anymore where everyone needs to carry a gun on them. Once they figure that out the country would be a whole lot safer.

One of my favorite Mario games to this day. I remember getting this for Christmas in 1992. I wish Nintendo would release Gameboy games on the Switch Online so I can play it again.

I really like PRGE. I was luck enough to go a few years ago and see the Nintendo Play Station, and meet Jame Rolfe (AVGN), Pat the Nes Punk, and a few others. I was able to get a few good deals as well.

Definitely worth going if you ever get the chance.

I wish Capcom would do a Final Fight Collection like they did with the Mega Man games or how Konami did with the TMNT games. I would love to play some Final Fight 2 or 3 but untill get a Super NT, I cant.

I love my Mega Sg, quite possibly the best retro clone out there of the Genesis. I hope I can get a Super NT on the 28th. I have been wanting one of those for awhile now.

I found a loose cartridge of this on Genesis a few years ago at a local used media store. I had no idea a Batman on Genesis existed till that point. Out of curiosity I bought it for $5. When I got home I was expecting the NES game just with better graphics. What I got was a different game but a solid Batman game. It turned out to be my favorite version of the games based off of the movie.

The music is some of the best I have heard on the Genesis and I still remember it to this day.

Glad he finally got it back. As someone who recently had a home broken into, I can't tell you how upsetting it is to find that priceless items were stolen. While it's upsetting if things like TVs, game consoles etc get stolen, those can be replaced. Its the sentimental things that you can't replace that really upsets you.

It also proves that Zelda is not an RPG but an adventure game.

Castlevania SotN (Xbox Series X) Doing my yearly playthrough of this great game and just in time for Halloween too!

TMNT III Radical Rescue (Switch) I never played this game before getting the Collection. It's a pretty good take on the Metroidvania formula.

Overwatch 2 (Xbox Series X) Been a few years since I played Overwatch and with the release of 2 it sounded like a good time to jump back in and of course it hooked me all over again.

@JackGYarwood Didn't whoever owned the Cabbage Patch Kids line also sue Topps for infringement and that caused them to stop production on them?

I use to have a bunch of the cards. There use to be a corner store near my house when I was a kid and every week with a bit of my allowance I would buy a pack.

But does it play Crysis?

I don't remember Spiral Saga, but I do remember Solstice and Equinox. I rented those games alot when I was a kid from a local video store and enjoyed them alot. I probably would have ended up playing this one as well at some point.

@LEGEND_MARIOID You have no idea.

Journey is one of my favorite PS3 games. It's such a great game and playing is one of the greatest moments in gaming.

I never had it nor did I ever know anyone who did. I remember knowing about it but wasn't quite sure how it worked. Didn't really know about it till years later when I heard of Mega Man The Wily Wars was on it and that was the only way of playing that game.

@Muriustar I have bought alot of games for multiple platforms, either cause I don't have access to a console anymore or in the case of the Switch so I can have it on the go.

The big ones are the Mega Man games. I have those on the NES (the copies I had as a kid) then it seems I buy them with each generation of consoles. So I have the Genesis versions, then the ports of the NES versions on 3DS, GameCube, Wii (VC) Wii U, Xbox and Switch.

Then there's Borderlands 2 which I have for 360, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch..

I have Suikoden which was one of the first games I bought on the PS but I never owned nor played 2 due to how rare it is. This will definitely be a day one buy for me. Might double dip and get it both on the Xbox and the Switch.

So it was Nintendo being Nintendo as usually. If we won't bring back our classic games, no one will.

But can it play Crysis?

I called the helpline once as my parents wouldn't allow me because of the price. The only way I was able too was I paid my parents for the call from my allowance.

It was for Final Fantasy III on SNES. I don't remember what the exact problem I was having but after hours of getting nowhere I called and the guy was able to help me in a few minutes. I remember him being friendly and very helpful. I felt special being able to tell my friends the next day in school that I got to call the Nintendo Power Helpline lol. They were so jealous.

Sad news. May he rest in peace and thoughts to his family and friends.

No. Retro is anything before PS2. After PS2 I guess modern would be the term.

Such a great game for its time, I actually preferred this over GTA 3. I managed to get the PC version for free years ago when Mafia 2 came out due to an error in 2K's digital store. Also have the Remaster on PS4 and can't wait for Mafia 4.

This game is still the reason I hold on to my Xbox 360. Now that Konami released the Turtles Arcade game to modern consoles, I am hoping maybe some kind of deal can be worked out with Disney for The Simpsons Arcade.

Sweet, will be pre-ordering mine here soon.

I play mostly collections on the modern systems like the TMNT Cowabunga Collection for example or Disney Afternoon collection and FPGA consoles with original cartridges. As much as I like the original hardware I am afraid that one day I will go to play it and it won't work anymore.

Can't wait for this. Will be digging into this game on Thursday, my next day off. Not sure will I will start though.

@Damo Are these still available?? I am seriously thinking of picking one up.

@Damo Slight typo, you put Final Fantasy IV instead of VI switching the two so you have 4 listed but pictures of 6.

Great list when I finally get a Steam Deck these will be games I will be looking into.

Never even heard of the first one but I am all up for a good beat em up. Recently played through Mayhem Brawler and that was a great game. Will look into these ones when it releases.

Great article. I remember being introduced to Tetris via the Tengen version on NES. One of my mom's friends kids had it and when she went to visit them with me I played it. After that I couldn't find it for the life of me all I found was Nintendo's version. When I told people that that wasn't the version of Tetris I played they all though I was crazy.

After awhile I just assumed either he had a copy from another country (I was young and didn't know about region locking) or an early version of the game. I didn't find out till the late 90s thanks to the internet that there was indeed 2 versions of Tetris on the NES.

Will have to check out this video once I get the Collection later this month. My goal is to finally beat this game.

@NeilFlynnGaming Street Fighter II Turbo was an update of Championship Edition. It gave characters a few new movies, like Chun Li can throw fireballs and had the speed cranked up. New Challengers was the update to that where it introduced Cammy, Fei Long, Dee Jay and Thunder Hawk to the game.

One of my favorite SNES games. I can't wait to try this once I get access to one of my copies of Super Punch Out.

This would be interesting to own especially for those that don't have a Sega CD or a copy of Final Fight CD. However, I can't see this version being better then the Sega CD version but props to him and his team for doing this.

The Bouncer was the first PS2 game I played. I remember going to my friends house who had a PS2 and going to Blockbuster and renting the game. From what I remember was it was a short game, we ended up beating it that night. Oh and that "The Bouncer" voice heard on the title screen.

@Damo So are the sites no longer part of Gamer Network??

Loved the Soul series heck, it was the reason I bought my GameCube. Such an iconic song too.

@Azuris He is a video game music composer who worked on alot of games during the 16 bit era.

@CowCatcher @Azuris The bit that Pat and Ian do about Tommy is the best thing to come out of this whole mess.

This guy is just an idiot. I will however miss Pat the Nes Punk's discussions about him now.

Still have my original N64 so I won't be needing this.
