In what will definitely be the easiest Retro Review of all time, we bring you Super Metroid – possibly the greatest video game ever made. That’s right, ever made. Don’t believe us? Come inside and get geared up for our heroes 8th adventure, as well as a retro schooling from Samus company in our latest Retro Review.
It’s Summer here in the USA and also hotter then hell. So what better game to do a retro review on then Capcom’s Demon’s Crest? Okay, you can probably think of quite a few other games which fit the Summertime theme better but who cares! We’ve been wanting to show you this little unknown from Capcom for quite a while now. Demon’s Crest stars the demon Firebrand, and is the third (and best) game in the Gargoyles Quest series. Come inside for more info on this Gem.
Anyone who owned an NES and enjoys the great game of Football knows what the Tecmo Bowl series is all about. Football…and having a great time! The original two NES Tecmo Bowls were monumental in their release for including the names of real NFL Teams and Players. For its 16-bit entry Tecmo got to use the power the SNES to create the ultimate Football game…or did they? Find out in this ”Super Sunday” retro Review.
With the SFA series, Capcom was able to fill in the backstory for many of our favorite characters pasts’ from SF2. It also gave the company the means of delivering us another set of 2D fighters unparalleled by its rivals. While the original SFA never made its way to the Super NES, a much better game somehow did – Street Fighter Alpha 2. Find out if this one’s worth the search (or Virtual Console download) in our latest retro Review.
Sir Arthur goes out with a bang in the 2D, trilogy ending, Super NES exclusive Super Ghouls’ N Ghosts. Find out if it can match the awesome gameplay found in the first two installments of the series inside this “extremely difficult” retro Review.
The circle is now complete. With the release of Super Return of the Jedi on the Wii VC, LucasArts has completed another re-release of the Super Star Wars trilogy. Perfect reason to force grab the old SNES “Jedi” cart and pop it in for some trilogy ending closure, SNES style. Having missed this one in my youth, I was eager to see if SRotJ could redeem the series from the wasted idea that was Super Empire Strikes Back - a game that should have been much better than a 7.5. Join me, and I will complete your SSW training… in this retro Review.
In this retro Review we take a look back at the second game in the Super Star Wars Trilogy, Super Empire Strikes Back. LucasArts accordingly added Force Powers and a double jump, as well as improve the graphics and sound from the original. You would assume additions like this would greatly improve this series – but don’t strain your head using The Force to find out – simply switch on the Hyperdrive and cruise into this retro Review to get the answer.
Batman: Arkham Asylum is looking like one of this year’s “must have” titles. With its awesome graphics, voice acting, and combat system, Edios plans on putting gamers right in the middle of Batman’s dark world – a trip I can’t wait to take. But as retro fans should know, we didn’t have to wait that long for a truly satisfying Batman experience – because Konami gave us one in 1994 with the underrated gem The Adventures of Batman & Robin for the SNES. Don’t believe me? Well, you’ll find all the proof you need inside this retro Review (no X-Ray Goggles needed).
Turtles in Time is getting an overdue HD remake on XBLA this week, and to me that sounds like reason enough to break out the original SNES cartridge for some shell-shocking 16-bit action. So come on and take a radical retro review ride with some of the nineties’ most beloved heroes – The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and don’t forget the pizza… Cowabunga!
Continuing on with their trend of adding “Super” to the titles of new games, Nintendo delivered Super Punch-Out!!. Little Mac returns to try and become the champ yet again. He will face many new opponents with unorthodox fighting styles as well as some old friends making their return to the ring . Check out this retro review to see if Mac can become the World Champ or if he fails to make weight.
