MM8 was a good game…
But yo… 2, 7, and 10 are where it’s at for me.

Actually that formula started with Dr. Wily’s revenge.

which has a pretty awesome wily stage track 2nd to the megaman 2 wily castle music.

Genesis had a little bit of everything and was strong in most departments, except RPGs(and maybe racing). The Shining force and Phantasy Star series are likely pretty good, but i’ve never been an RPG fan(Panzer Dragoon Saga only RPG i’ve ever beaten).

Tried to sit down and beat Mega Turrican for Genesis. Excellent run & gun but…that shit so hard!!!

Yes. The first Final fight is a fantastic game and all-time great that defined the beat’em up genre but, its the only stellar entry in the series. FF2 & FF3 just lacked the magic and don’t hold up to the competition you mentioned above. Which is funny, seeing as how Capcom only made the sequels because nintendo asked them to in response to Streets of Rage.

I rented Shatterhand back in the NES days. The cover artwork drew me in. And i love Ninja Warriors for the SNES!! Great music, great gameplay, great graphics, and cool characters. Its up there with other notable beat’em ups in my opinion.

Again for that great music:

Kamaitachi had the crouching jab that was just too op.

I used to like MM8 till I found out about rockman and forte blew it out of the water

All three consoles were balanced but when I said “strength,” in a certain category, that console’s library had the edge over the others, in quantity, quality or both.

I’m currently trying to play Eternal Champions for the Genesis… Why did I like this as a child?

Even back in the day i didn’t like that one. Music, graphical, style, generic characters, presenatation, and gameplay. Uggghh!

Piece of crap that should have stayed on Sega’s cutting room floor. I think this was a western-developed title too, fitting given most western efforts of the time.

I keep hearing it was loads better on the CD, but I was never fooled into buying one so I’m left guessing.

Anyway, I’ve decided to move on to play the SNES version of Killer Instinct. Dem Musical Feels.

Glad im not the only one that cannot stand the snes final fights, it’s a shame because 3 had alot of potential.
As much as i do like alot of designs for characters of the 90’s i LOL at my mate dean, what were they thinking

I like how the volcano stage in EC and SFIV vanilla are completely identical.

bought virtual on for 5 bucks with case and D for 3 dollars with case.
i was curious as to why it was so cheap and when i looked at their stickers it turned out they had been mislabeled as sports games.

Rofl, oh shit.

After a long search for a legit copy, I just finished Earthbound.

Is Mother 3 worth the time or a pass?

definitely worth a playthrough.
the combat is fun and it actually has a combo system.
story is great and it will leave you in tears.

also today they just released a trailer for the fan game mother 4.
i have to say looks pretty damn awesome

biggest problem with the gensis was the lack of saving games. Looking back you could save your game in almost any snes game, the 3 button controller was other bad idea. Since most fighting games used 6 buttons

Game looks dope as hell. The real proof will be in the writing though, that’s my main concern.

But Nintendo just completely gave up on Mother though?

Either the games never sold much, or the creator just didn’t want to continue it.

That is one thing that sucks when you think about it. A lot of the old games we love will never get a true sequel since a lot of the old teams the produced them don’t even exist anymore. The game makers are all over the place now.
