NFL Blitz 2001 on the N64 was released in 2000. This is a port of the arcade game NFL Blitz 2000 Gold. It is a similar situation to what Midway did with the ports of NFL Blitz 1999. This is an odd way of doing things, and it can make things a little confusing. ThisContinue reading “NFL Blitz 2001 is Great, but more of the Same”

Dr. Mario 64 is a Great Puzzle Game
Dr. Mario 64 is a puzzle game for the N64 and is a remake of the first game in the series. Sadly, this isn’t the 64th entry in the series; it just has that stupid naming convention that Nintendo added to a bunch of their games. The game was released in North America in 2001,Continue reading “Dr. Mario 64 is a Great Puzzle Game”
NFL Blitz 2000 is a Great Arcade Port
NFL Blitz 2000 was ported to several home consoles in 1999. Midway made things a little confusing by porting NFL Blitz 99 and renaming it NFL Blitz 2000. I was trying to find a simple way of explaining this. It isn’t all that complicated; 99 is the arcade game, and 2000 is the console port.Continue reading “NFL Blitz 2000 is a Great Arcade Port”
NFL Blitz is Great on the N64
NFL Blitz was originally released as an arcade game in 1997. About a year later, the game was ported to the N64 and the PS1. It also saw releases on other platforms. Many of these ports were made by Midway. Their relationship with Acclaim had ended at this point, so their in-house team was handlingContinue reading “NFL Blitz is Great on the N64”
Ready 2 Rumble 2 is Better than the First Game
Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2 was released in 2000 and was ported to just about every console at the time. It doesn’t appear that an arcade version of the game was released. Around this time, Midway was releasing fewer arcade games, because arcades were closing once again. The story of the decline of dedicatedContinue reading “Ready 2 Rumble 2 is Better than the First Game”
A Great Boxing Game from Midway | Ready 2 Rumble
Ready 2 Rumble is one of the games that made me want to buy a Dreamcast. My friend Justing had the demo for it, and we had a lot of fun playing the game when we all got together. There was something that we all found fun to play and watch each other play. TheContinue reading “A Great Boxing Game from Midway | Ready 2 Rumble”
NFL QB Club 2001 is not Great
NFL QB Club 2001 was released in 2000, and Acclaim decided to shorten the title. This wasn’t the last game in the series, but it is the last one to appear on both the Dreamcast and N64. It still has Brett Favre on the cover, which is one of the more consistent parts of thisContinue reading “NFL QB Club 2001 is not Great”
NBA Jam 2000 is a good, not Great game
NBA Jam 2000 was released in 1999 and was exclusive to the N64. This is the third game in the Acclaim branch of the NBA Jam series. It is similar to the previous game, as it is more of a simulation of basketball. There were a few improvements made to the core game. Most ofContinue reading “NBA Jam 2000 is a good, not Great game”
NFL QB Club 2000 is Not Great
NFL Quarterback Club 2000 is where the series really fell apart. This game was released in 1999 on the N64 and the Dreamcast. I’ll be looking at the N64 version, and I’m not planning on getting the Dreamcast version. Given the review scores from 1999, this is going to suck! Iguana handled the previous gamesContinue reading “NFL QB Club 2000 is Not Great”
Better than the Last Game: NFL QB Club 99
NFL Quarterback Club 99 was an N64 exclusive. It was released in 1998 and is the fifth game in Acclaim’s football series. Unlike the previous game in the series, the developer was only working on versions of this game for the N64 and the PC. The PC version was never released. There were a fewContinue reading “Better than the Last Game: NFL QB Club 99”
