Did you guys like Super Mario Bros. 2? (198 I thought it was pretty good.

Yea I messed it with especially since it allowed us to use 4 distinctly different characters.
I enjoyed the soundtrack too.

It being different didn't bother me.

The, "Lost Levels" did nothing for me but that was probably because once we got it (MArio All-Stars) we had already been exposed to Mario 3 so going BACK to "Mario 1.5" a few years later was a downgrade.

Lost Levels is one of Nintendo’s worst sequels.

But they definitely rebounded to a spectacular sequel in Mario 3. Even with Genesis, Turbografix, and Neo Geo around, Mario 3 hit different.

Remember those Nintendo arcade machines that hosted Famicon games. I never saw that Goonies game on console.

Will have 13 games.
3 of those are the versions of Tournament Fighters that came out for NES, Genesis and SNES.

Will cost $39.99.

No release date yet.

Forgot to mention.

Some of these games will be playable online.

Man I always hated Mario 2

But then again you could float with old girl. I remember favoring Princess or Mario.

But I I’d finish it with all four characters. GOAT ending even if it made no sense.

One of my favorites for the NES console.

I messed with Toad.

Fast with the quick veggie pickups.

Toad was a digger - key for the desert levels
Princess could fly over many hazards with great precision - key for ice levels

Would beat the game with Mario tho as it was only right

probably used Luigi the least

 

[DCAllAfrican]

IN order of usage

Toad
Princess
Luigi
Mario

Double Dragon II: The Revenge
Mega Man 2

Finally got my JFJ pro machine and cleaned up some discs I was going to throw away due to having scratches. I’m glad I held on to them.

I know its a rehash of Doki Doki Panic, but I love the game. SM3 is THE most popular, but I prefer 2 over 3. I enjoyed the fact that you could play as 4 different characters and the bosses were a nice change of pace from part 1. I'm dating myself, but when the Nintendo Power issue came out with part 2 on the cover, I lost my mind.

I’m kinda interested but I’m not familiar with their library of games. I have an og Atari ST that I can mod to use a USB and download games as an option. Pretty sure I’d never use it though.

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

SEGA needs to release a Master System Mini.

I'd be more interested in a Jaguar mini console. I always wanted that console but remember it was hella expensive

 

[TURBO UNO]

SEGA needs to release a Master System Mini.

I’d love for them to do that! The library isn’t too big but they had some great titles. Even the light gun games were fun. Not sure it would do better numbers than the Genesis mini console.

SM2 definitely holds a special place for me. I remember my neighbor friend had it and we'd spend so much time playing it one summer when I was like 5 or 6. Also used to enjoy going to the library in my elementary days to see if they had the latest Nintendo Power issue yet and what games they'd be previewing.

Question, when you guys played level games like Mario did you switch with friends after a level even if you beat it or play til you died? Had some friends insist on passing the sticks only after dying and others who insisted on switching even if you beat the level. I always thought it was more fair after beating a level considering you could have a few others waiting their turn.
