Game Discussion #257 - Super Mario Advance

Remake of Super Mario Bros. 2. I played through this, and think it makes a lot of interesting improvements over the original.

Game Discussion #256 - Street Fighter II Special Champion Edition

The origin of the Genesis 6-button controller. You can tell they had confidence in people really wanting to buy a Street Fighter II port for their system, and they were correct, with it selling millions of units.

Game Discussion #249 - Side Pocket

A billiards game. I haven’t really gotten into this one, but I imagine the draw would be the level of precision involved.

Game Discussion #242 - The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap

Haven’t finished this one yet, but I thought it was a really good way of doing Zelda on this console.

Game Discussion #237 - Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins

Another one of the console’s best. Could easily have been an SNES experience with how it’s designed.

Game Discussion #236 - Metroid II: Return of Samus

As cool as this was for Game Boy back in 1991, I think Samus Returns was a vast improvement on this in being a real Metroid game.

Game Discussion #235 - The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX

Probably the best Game Boy game. This is a high quality experience that could have just as easily been a console release.

Game Discussion #232 - Game & Watch Gallery 3

I love these games. Simple but very addictive. Totally worth playing for a while.

Game Discussion #231 - Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare

Finally, after 230 daily posts…Game Boy!

This one is okay I guess.

Game Discussion #230 - GoldenEye 007

I’m mostly just glad they got a licensed game on here. That didn’t seem possible before this. Though I do think Perfect Dark might be the better game just because I played it first.

Also, this cover art makes it look like he has a really big jaw. And I can’t unsee that.

Game Discussion #229 - Virtua Fighter 2

This was always a weird port to me. Famously 3D game…goes 2D. It feels like they mostly just did it because they could, rather than it being an especially good idea.

Game Discussion #226 - Alien Storm

Again, not a Genesis game I know too much about. Seems like any regular beat ‘em up of the era to me but with a different theming.
