@NekoGeo: You can listen/check them out on Youtube and there are options (that I won't write), how to get these music in usable formats, that you can listen on your computer or other devices.
Some platformer games of that time, I do remember and played the shareware/demo versions:
1. Conan: The Mysteries of Time 2. Prophecy series 3. Lost Vikings (this is more like action platformer with strategy elements, you control 3 vikings)
These are strategy and/or rpg games: 4. Heimdall series (not really sure, but I think it had some platformer sections) 5. Hammer of the Gods (this is a strategy game, if I remember correctly) 6. Valhalla (RPG of some sorts, maybe I remember it to be very similar to Dwarf Fortress?)
But, if there is a chance, that a game has a local co-op or splitscreen, I like to play that with my two nieces and nephew. Sadly today there are less and less local multiplayer games. Nintendo is a bright star on the horizon in that matter.
From the newer big racing titles, only Mario Kart and Sonic Racing has local splitscreen. The last splitscreen Need for Speed title, if I remember correctly, was Need for Speed Shift (and Pro Street).

@WaveBoy: that's why I like the Paper Mario Wii game. It has such nice cartoon graphics.
I don't like the 3D CGI Mario games look. I do play them, but I would also like to see a 2D Mario game with the look or graphics like we can see on the above illustrations.
I have a feeling, that these type of "games" won't have a long future.
Maybe, they will have the same fate as these musical type of games (DJ Hero, Rock Band, etc., whatever series there were ...)
Young people (and children) get's bored pretty fast and tend to forget these stuff sooner or later, if it's not interesting for them in the long run. And when it's not trendy anymore, it's dead (from todays marketing view).
The problem is not really in money, but rather in not having so much free time to play any single game I want (hundreds of them). So for games, that need extra time (and things/money) to invest, I rather don't play.
I don't play any multiplayer game at all, just single player. I like, when things have and start and an end.
And these series with Amiibo, Skylanders etc. are made so, that people buy new plastic stuff all the time and they really don't have an end.
When you realize (or not), how much money and time have you invested in this kind of things ... but anyway, everybody knows (or at least should know) what's good for him/her and what he want's do to with his/her money and free time.
@Shiryu: to be honest, I am not interested in any of these things like Skylanders, Amiibo, Diseny Infinity or whatever it is called.
When I play computer or videogames, I play these. If I want to play with physical toys, than I play with real toys (aka Lego etc.) and not the virtual ones.

Re: Soapbox: Nintendo Was Wrong To Turn Its Back On The Wii Remote
Nintendo should just bring back the real gamepad like the competition has.

Re: Video: Check Out the Launch Trailer for Slain!
So, the game is out on PC ... read the reviews:
https://www.gog.com/game/slain
Conclusion: the controls are terrible, the game seems unfinished.
Hope, that they will fix those things on the Wii U (if the game ever sees light on this console).
Re: Video: Check Out the Launch Trailer for Slain!
I see a new Volgarr the Vikking here ... the graphics/animations looks amazing BTW!

Wake me, when there will an official Mario game or something similar on Android, iOS, Windows etc. systems.
Re: Epic Dumpster Bear is the Real Name of an Upcoming Wii U eShop Game
Sorry, but why is Nintendo letting such "games" into the eShop?

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Nintendo's 2015?
Wii U? It was D.O.A. from the beginning. So in this year, it is finally time we move on.
Hope, NX will have a better marketing and more support from 3rd party, not only indie games. Good luck!

Re: Nintendo Is Making Female Characters Cover Up For The Western Version Of Xenoblade Chronicles X
What the hell? She should be older and have just a little "bigger" boobs. Nothing more.

Re: Review: Momonga Pinball Adventures (Wii U eShop)
Yeah, I also remember Sonic Spinball. Not sure about this one. Yes, the graphics looks nice ...
Re: Review: Rakoo & Friends (Wii U eShop)
And if you buy things (microtransaction) inside the games, the price can go up even further ...

Say NO to expensive mobile games on desktop consoles. Just say NO.

Re: Feature: The Biggest Wii U Games of 2015 - Q4 Edition
@SuperWiiU: so, how do you play it then? Because in the video I see, that you run like in a third-person shooter game.
Re: Feature: The Biggest Wii U Games of 2015 - Q4 Edition
What type of games is Xenoblade Chronicles? A TPS action game? Like Tomb Raider or Uncharted?

Re: HyperPlay RPG Is A Glorious Throwback To The Pre-Internet Days Of Homemade Fanzines
@TJF588: but if you want, you can always justify the spacing between words and letters, so it won't look "that bad".
And then, there is always the option to hypenate the words/text ...
Re: HyperPlay RPG Is A Glorious Throwback To The Pre-Internet Days Of Homemade Fanzines
OK. Maybe because of the "retro style".
Re: HyperPlay RPG Is A Glorious Throwback To The Pre-Internet Days Of Homemade Fanzines
To be honest, the text layout is horrible ... look at these gaps between words.
Anyway, nice initiative.

What character does the green haired girl play?
Re: Weirdness: Sega's Repackaged Transformers Arcade Game Is An Unexpected Nod To Its Glorious Past
Wow, impressive. However, I've got a bad stomach, so ... would try it.
@Artwark: SEGA has some really good games, published and made in the last years, why would they quit the home videogame market?
I would like to see sequels to Vanquish, Universe at War: Earth Assault, Binary Domain and many others.
Yesterday (21 July 2015) arrived Tembo, the Badass Elephant on Steam (PC/Mac), XB1 and PS4 ...
Soon we get Total War: WARHAMMER on PC. What do you want more?
Re: Exclusive: Project CARS "Simply Too Much For Wii U", Developer Now Waiting On New Nintendo Hardware

Wii U is soon history.

@Grez: The original Xbox (the first generation) had an Intel CPU (similar to Pentium III 733 MHz, if I remember correctly)
Re: Nintendo Life Weekly: Nintendo NX Processor May Be Supplied by AMD
@Nintendian: cool, that means Nintendo won't see any money from you
Re: Tomonobu Itagaki Explains Why the Pro Controller Trumps the GamePad in Devil's Third
@hYdeks: absolutely agree. Nintendo should ditch, no, it should never ever make the Gamepad. Just the Pro Controller.
