DeciderVT Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Really surprised at Smash Tennis popping up. Used to play that with my cousin at her house regularly but I haven't heard it talked about much since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradigor Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 One that may have gone under the radar. Cardpocalypse is a CCG type game, with a cool story behind it, sent in a small town where the Power Pets are the Pokemon of their world and the card game is super popular. I am having a great time with it. Also, it handles inclusion so well when it comes to characters. I wrote some words on the game - http://bit.ly/2HhpUvg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderm Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 This system really needs a good golf game. Its the only thing missing. Yes i know it has turf masters but I've been playing that for 10+ years. (and im still shit at it). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mawdlin Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I love golf games but I never got to the end of Golf Story. Although the mechanics of the golf are pretty good I got really fed up at the fetch quest bit where you have to swap loads of items to progress the 'plot'. I should just push on through it I suppose but it really bogged the game down for me and I never went back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolly Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 There was another speedboat game on the NES and the name escapes me. I've got a vision of you shooting a sea dragon at some point.

It's not a game I'd be interested in because of the poor reviews, but apparently it's been patched to an 'acceptable' level so it's worth a punt at that price. After a 15 minute playthrough it seems...ok. It has a choice between Performance Mode or Graphics Mode. I tried Performance Mode and it seemed relatively stable. Did a couple of races and enjoyed it.

It's not a game I'd be interested in because of the poor reviews, but apparently it's been patched to an 'acceptable' level so it's worth a punt at that price. I bought this a few months ago for a fiver. I'm a big fan of arcade racers and I think there's a very competent arcade racer in there. The high difficulty and idiosyncratic drifting are fairly big barriers to entry and I suspect many here would bounce right off it after 5 minutes and declare it shit (not an insult, but it's become clear over time that there aren't many on this forum interested in learning the ins and outs of a new arcade racer, as opposed to wanting another Burnout 2, Outrun 2 or some other classic), but it isn't. If you're willing to put time in, learn the mechanics and overcome the barriers to entry it's quite rewarding. I do wish they hadn't gone with the health bar system. It pushes the difficulty up a lot and means if you don't get good enough to drive consistently well the game is basically no fun. I nearly wrote it off at one point but the more I played I realised that there is a good arcade racer to be enjoyed after the intial frustration/frontloaded difficulty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not played either so don't know which is the good one. Delighted with Smash Tennis. Had a nightmare trying to get a ROM of it that played nice on the SNES Mini, thanks to the only English language option being 50Hz, so getting a rock solid version - and available on the go no less! - is ideal.

Shadow of the Ninja is an excellent action platform game, probably as good as Ninja Gaiden. Eliminator Boat Duel is a fun game and one I’d never thought I’d see again on any service, it’s such a deep cut. The last two NES games were both of high quality too, Crystalis and Journey to Silius.

Yasawas Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I was never interested in run & gun games as a youngster so their belated discovery in my late-thirties is a bit of a revelation.
