Dude, that looks sweet!!!!

Hello, mario300, welcome to NintendoLife.

Good review.
1942 is okay, but not worth revisiting tbh. I do concur that the sequels are way better; particularly 1941: Counter Attack.

This new Kirby game on the Wii looks pretty dang good.
@Bell - I still remember news about the new DS Kirby title, but unfortunately I feel that the thread you're searching for is lost in a sea of pages.

Which game would you like to see Square Enix bring to the west next?

SoulBlazer

Are you gonna do those articles with a black background and white text from now on, or is this a one-time only thing?

Thanks, Lu.

Good review. Sounds like a decent conversion of the arcade game.
But, I have the PC-Engine version on the Virtual Console.

I as well pretty much prefer Magic Sword, but this game is not bad.
Good review, Drake.

Super Mario Land is decent, imo, though I admit it's got its flaws (tiny sprites). I did like how it played like a shmup in a couple of levels (pretty unique aspect of the series if you ask me).

Oh, 1942 got released, too, I just noticed that. I think it's okay.

Black Tiger is easier, yes.
I like it, though I find some of the sound effects out of place for this type of game, imo.

@Tasuki - I remember knowing about the cereal from playing Namco Museum Vol. 1 on the PlayStation.

Fascinating.

I remember watching the '80s Hanna-Barbera Pac-Man cartoon years ago, and I thought it was good. Hopefully this new series will be good.

@FantasiaWHT - you're not the only one who misread the title the first time around. When I played this game for the first time years ago, I read the game's title as Exed Eyes.

Good review, Drake. Glad to know that it actually does reach an end. And I pretty much concur about many things in the review.

I'll take this game over Magician Lord any day.

Sonic Colors was released everywhere in 2010 after all. How did it not get nominated, I wonder?

Magical Drop III's fun.

@berzerker99 - good eye, man. The true title, however, is Ghosts'n Goblins, as far as I'm concerned.

Oh, look, Exed Exes, the seemingly endless vertical shmup made by Capcom. I say "seemingly" because I actually did try to get to the end, but I only stopped somewhere in one of the teen stages, so I have no idea if it actually has an ending.

@SonicMaster - it's not out in Europe and Australia yet.

It's not so much of a problem going through Super Ghouls'n Ghosts twice, imo, I've done it many times. I've yet to do it in Ghouls'n Ghosts; at least, I will anyway once I beat that boss in the fifth stage. I am far from reaching Ghosts'n Goblins' second quest.

Good review, Drake. The first GnG title is decent, though its sequels (save for Ultimate Ghosts'n Goblins, which I thought was a tad disappointing) I find much better. I still need to beat the second stage of this game.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 won the vote for best overall game of 2010, I see.

I voted for Wii Kirby's Epic Yarn and DS Sonic Colors.

It is nice to see that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won.

@Swerd - Super Ghouls'n Ghosts' difficulty is incredibly overrated, imo. It's one of those games that becomes easier for me the more I play it, but I still love it.

@CaptN - I knew that, but I had a hard time putting that into words.

That's horrible.
Sad to hear about that teen's death.

@MeloMan - The 7^th Saga (Elnard in Japan) was developed by Produce [the developers behind the first Super Adventure Island and Brain Lord], not Quintet; but it was published by Enix.

I hope someone from Square-Enix is reading all these comments.

@pikmaniac - the first game is said to have given gamers blisters due to (a) certain mini-game(s) that involved rotating the Control Stick using the palm of their hands.

This was one of the first ever SNES titles I've played when I was little (maybe the first, but considering I also played Super Mario World and Super Mario Kart, I can't remember exactly). This was the first time I've ever experienced the NES and Famicom Disk System Mario classics. Fun compilation, this one.

May 2011 hopefully be the year that games like SoulBlazer, Illusion of Gaia, and the rest of the Quintet/Enix titles finally hit the VC.

If anyone from Square-Enix is reading any of the comments,

please make it happen!!!

Great review, Corbie. I remember playing the first two Mario Party games a lot with my cousins when I was little.
Welcome to NintendoLife, CHRISZ0626. As for which Metroid game you should start out with, I (and I'm sure many others would agree) highly recommend Super Metroid. It's got a map, and it has a lot more action feautres and is a lot more enjoyable than the first game, imo.

Come to think of it, not a single Dragon Warrior/Dragon Quest game has been released on the VC anywhere.

Three years ago Square-Enix released ActRaiser (Quintet/Enix) on the VC. You would think that they would release the other Quintet/Enix line-up of games, too; but it hasn't happened. The VC is a chance for some to catch up with and experience the classics (for instance: some, like myself, own an SNES console, but not everyone does), and I feel they're blowing a big opportunity by not releasing them [Quintet/Enix games].
Sometimes I worry that Square completely forgot that they merged with Enix less than a decade ago.

Terranigma has been on my wishlist for a long time (it's right at the top).

Which games would you like to see Square Enix bring to the west next?

StarBoy hopes that Square-Enix plans on releasing the rest of the SNES Quintet/Enix line-up of games to the VC

Looks good.

Mickey's got no tail in this game, I've always noticed that.

@Blaketoberfest - it's not coming.

@Cheezy - the first game had some mini games that would give you blisters apparently. I don't remember ever getting blisters from playing the first game, although that's probably because I haven't played the first game in forever.

Nice. I remember having lots of fun when I played Mario Party 2 with my cousins several years ago.

Good review, Corbie. I'm still interested, even if it's said to be easy.

@superlink64 - That's funny, I never noticed that until you brought it up, lol.

This kind of resembles Capcom's Forgotten Worlds a bit.

Again, I wish the PlayStation version was released in America, too.

Great review, Corbie!

I'm still a bit uncertain about getting the SNES version. On one hand, if I did buy it I would finally own a version of the game and not play it solely whenever I come to visit my relatives in Italy. On the other hand, I'm a bit worried about whether the SNES version is gonna be as good as the PSX version or not (too much fondness for the PSX version).

Good review, Jamie.
I only played the PlayStation version (back when I still lived in Italy and when I come to visit) of this game (which was only released in Europe and Australia; why wasn't it released in America, too? ), and I thought it was a great and underrated, imo, game. The visuals in that version were splendid, and the soundtrack marvelous. I still need to beat Hard mode, though.

That was awesome!

@SZM - "in my opinion"
