Super Mario World was released for the Super Famicom 30 years ago today.

@ 30 years. Still like this reminds me of my mortality. This was SO long ago man.

Could've sworn this game came out in '98 or '99, definitely not 30 years ago.

I 'sourced' a copy for my PC at the time and it ran like total crap, was disappointed as I was heavy into WM2K at the time.

So my local thrift store was trippin today. I came across a black GameCube with all the cables, two controllers and a copy of Super Monkey Ball 2. Flip the console over to see a $100 price tag on it

I ended up just getting three PS3 games for $1 each...

Bulletstorm “limited edition”
Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom
XCOM Enemy Unkown

Nitro: Terrible

Thunder: Double Terrible

They were both the same game with a different roster at most.

Exactly why I view Thunder WORSE because it had time to improve on Nitro and it still was released as a piece of garbage.

You know better, you do better. No reason the SECOND game of the series should be just as bad.

PS1 wrestling games were poopville

There we a few solid titles there but for the most part, there was a LOT of garbage.

Solid/Good TItles

Toukon Retsuden (Import version of Power Move Pro Wrestling) ( Peep Game )
WCW vs. the World / Virtual Pro Wrestling (Prequel to the N64 Wrestling games from AKI / ASMIK )

[jordanhead718212]

Yeah idk what he's talkin bout, the Smackdown series was heat

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Outside of the Smackdown series im sorry. They are a decent alternative to the 64 games

For the most part he IS right though.

PS1 produced WAY more garbage than solid wrestling titles.

Were those made by Yukes!? I had all the WWF games for the GameCube and they used the Yukes! game engine which was not good in my opinion vs. the AKI games.

PSX had a ton of shovel-ware in general vs. the Saturn & N64.

 

[robpzee612]

I thought Yukes improved their engine on each of their GC games. Now I have the urge to play
Day of Reckoning 1/2 now lol

Toukon Retsuden
Power Move Pro
SMackdown

All made by Yukes.

They all were solid titles but yes, they weren't AKI.
