Can't say as I don't have a Box. If you have a GCN you can try M.U.S.C.L.E. or the WrestleManias are good for the price

Oh come on! I would think that everyone on Atariage would at least appreciate the nostalgia and collectibility factor. Giving fans what they want is what it's all about. Sure there have been lots of Pokemon games, Metroid games and Zelda games in a reletively short time period, but they are ALL top notch quality gameplay and are well received by players. It doesn't count as milking or whoring until the games start to suck ass. Like Sonic did.

Thats not true at all really. Well for sequels at least. Look at splitner cell pandora tommorow. Less than a year of dev time in it and its a best seller. Yes for a completely new title there wouldn't be enough time, but for sequels there is plenty of time to bring more out before the conosle dies. Maybe the GC is going the way of the DODO sooner than we know? True, they could probably get it done if it's a sequel and that's only assuming that it uses the same basic elements or engine. Pandora Tomorrwo is really not far removed from the original at all. In any case if they did happen to get it out before the system died, everyone would be looking forward by that time and no one would care. Just like Perfect Dark

Can anyone get past PinBot's fourth table? I have never been able to do it! Usually getting past the third with the missile dropping wasps is frustrating enough. This is one of the big reasons I love this game, you can play for a high score, or you can play to progress to further tables.

Legends of Wrestling is ass. Don't be lured in by the choice of classic characters. Once you see Ted DiBiase pull off the Rock Bottom, you'll want to puke

Once again made in conjunction with Capcom I believe

4 nice SNES titles today for $8.. SimCity Super Bonk Mario AllStars / World Tetris 2

"It is simply because we have moved into next-generation development," I think this is key. Before the release of Rebel Strike I remeber reading an article in EGM or some rag, where Factor 5 had talked about an ambitious online Rogue Squadron game. At the time it was insinuated that it would be for the GCNext. I certainly hope this is the plan

Has anyone else seen this? It's for a Volvo S40 or something (I know nothing about cars). Anyway, the commercial is presented as if it's a vid, with PS2-like graphics. I thought I was watching a trailer for Gran Turismo 4 at first. Strange but cool. It just shows how mainstream video games are right now and totally hits the appropriate target market of Males 18-34 with disposable income. Looking for a car? Like PS2? Volvo's for you! Thoughts?

I think I remember seeing some sealed stuff at my local game shop. Feel free to Pm me if you want me to scope it out for you

You have superior taste in games.

Was this game originally intended for the NES? I love the style and gameplay, but the NES hardware seems pretty under-utilised on this one. For it's time the graphics are not too good and it doesn't really "fit the mold" in terms of the style of most NES games. It always seemed to me like a PC game or something that was ported to NES for the cash grab...

How good are you at racing games? Usually lousy. This can be attributed to a general lack of interest in most racers however Can you keep your cool and not get frustrated at higher levels or when you make too many mistakes? I can't keep my cool on ANY games. Once I start sucking, the system goes off You prefer cartoon or realisitic racing titles? Cartoony for sure. Mario Kart IS racing. Love Cel Damage too

Nintendo DS of course!

So far in April: GameCube - Mario Kart Double Dash (Mirror Mode is EVIL!), Jedi Knight 2, Midway Arcade Treasures NES - PinBot, High Speed, Double Dragon, Castlevania 3, Ninja Gaiden GBA - Activision Anthology, Zelda Famicom Mini VCS - Ice Hockey SNES - Gradius 3, Mario All Stars, WWF Royal Rumble Wish I had more spare time to dedicate to these awesome titles though

And what about the original Castlevania? I consider this a 'must port ' for the Famicom / NES minis

I've always liked the 'X-Universe' not as much as the real Mega Man, but still had a great personality. What about Mega Man Xtreme? The 8-bit Mega Man X titles for GB. Never tried them, but forever intrigued...

Ice Hockey is sooo easy even with Difficulty A and on game 3, I crush the computer every time . Most times I win by at least 9 goals

I imported Zelda from Lik Sang knowing that they would be coming over. Once I saw the differences in packaging I will always favour the Jap versions, even if they cost more

I'm shocked no one has mentioned Saturday Night Slam Masters for SNES. It's sort of a Street Fighter / Final Fight / Wrestling hybrid, but it kicks arse

There is a legit sequel for GB - The Rescue of Princess Blobetta or something.

I 've always loved that game! Really wish they'd make a next gen sequel or something

Thanks for the input, the lists and recommendations'll help. I agree that most of these games do suck, but it's more of a kitschy thing and I like to "have them all" as it were. BTW - I have Pro Wresting, have for years and it kind of sucks too. Don't get me wrong, it's cool enough and easily the best NES wrestling game, but it is really just a button masher. If you use the NES Advantage, challenge factor = zero.

I am trying to put together a "subcollection" of all NES wrestling titles. Any one know what I should be looking for, or have a complete list of wrestling games for the system?

I went looking in the wild, found High Speed and bought it based on your recommendation. You're right - same idea, but different enough. Also much faster! I'll be logging some hours on this one too. Any more NES pinball recommmendations?
