Mario Kart DS (DS Bundle)

By Dr_Corndog | Review Date: Feb 24, 2007 | DS

Mario Kart DS finally allows Mario Kart fans to face off online, but the core gameplay takes a hit.

2003's Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, with its gameplay departures and innovations, felt like a step in the wrong direction for many Mario Kart fans. Mario Kart DS scraps the two-person-per-kart formula to give players a gam... Read Full Review

Zelda no Densetsu: Kamigami no Triforce

By Dr_Corndog | Review Date: Feb 07, 2007 | SNES

R-Type III: The Third Lightning

By Dr_Corndog | Review Date: Aug 22, 2007 | SNES

The frustration caused by its difficulty, as well as its brevity, mean R-Type III will appeal only to a small niche.

R-Type III is a fun, in-your-face shooter with a unique and interesting weapon system and loads of creatively designed baddies to blow up. That is, until about halfway through the second level. At that point all of the a... Read Full Review

Kid Icarus

By Dr_Corndog | Review Date: Jun 06, 2007 | NES

An overlooked classic gets its due respect on the Virtual Console.

Kid Icarus is one of the best examples of why I love the Virtual Console: it gives gamers another chance to play great games they likely missed the first go-around. Kid Icarus is a cult classic, and after playing it, I u... Read Full Review
