Well well well, lookie what we have here.
As an early birthday gift to my wife, I bought her (and me too) an original NES system and some games. We got Zelda II, Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt, Super Mario Bros. 3, Battletoads, Batman, and Double Dragon. Yup, I got some clasics.
And we got so worked up in the excitement of owning an NES that we decided to take the next step and get a SNES. It hasn't come in yet, but it should in the next couple of days.
For games on the SNES, we ordered Spawn, Batman Returns, Final Fight, Zelda a Link to the Past, Bubsy, and The Tick. We also got some more NES games which were: The Punisher, Dr. Mario, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3, and 1942.
A lot of these games I'm pretty excited about playing, but mainly Spawn, The Tick, Batman Returns, and TMNT 3. Those were my top choices of games.
I'm a big Spawn fan, and when I saw that they had made a Spawn game for the SNES, well, that was mainly the reason why I wanted one. I looked up some vids on YouTube of gameplay, and it actually looks really good and fun. Hell, I might end up liking this Spawn game a lot more than I did Spawn: Armageddon for the PS2.
The Tick looked fun, and I remember really loving the cartoon show that used to air on FOX back in the day. I also looked up some vids on YouTube, and it looks like the type of game I would love to play. It plays just like Double Dragon/Final Fight and you beat up a bunch of Ninjas.
Batman Returns, just like The Tick, is a side scrolling beat em up just like Final Fight. It follows the story of the movie, which I love. I'm also a big Batman fan, and with the new movie coming out soon, I thought it would be good to have when "Batfever" hits. And the graphics looked really good to be such an old game.
TMNT 3 is actually a NES game staring everyone's favorite 4 mutant turtles. It plays like an old school arcade side scolling beat em up, much like the other TMNT arcade games. I have the first arcade game downloaded onto my 360, and it's really fun. So I think I'll really like it.
Some other games for the SNES that I'm interested in, after I play the ones I have now to death, are Aliens VS Predator, Spiderman and Venom: Maxium Carnage, and the Death and Return of Superman.
So, it looks like in the coming weeks I'll have some good ol' ****c Nintendo gaming lined up. I've got two "new" systems and a bunch of games to run through. And the funny thing is, I think there are more games on the clasic NES and SNES that I actually like than there are on the Wii. How F'ed up is that?
Until Next Time, Urthlings.
