Ogre Battle is my favorite SNES game. It has a unique gameplay style and can be a ton of fun to play. It is a fascinating RPG in a story that we’ll unfortunately never see the ending of. We’re left to speculate on how it all started and how it will end. It can beContinue reading “Revisiting My Favorite RPG, Ogre Battle on the SNES”

Diet LJN: The Brief Story of Flying Edge
Most collectors and video game historians know about LJN. They started as a toy manufacturer and had the rights to several licenses. Eventually, they got into video games and were purchased by Acclaim. Acclaim used LJN as a way to publish more games on the NES. This was when Nintendo had a very restrictive publishingContinue reading “Diet LJN: The Brief Story of Flying Edge”
SNES Wrestling Games Ranked from Worst to Best
The wrestling games on the SNES look much better than the NES. Sadly, they don’t always play better than the NES games. Some of the games I was looking forward to were a big letdown, and I was surprised by a few of them.

Natsume Championship Wrestling is Good, Not the Best
Natsume Championship Wrestling (NCW) is the game I was most looking forward to when I started playing the SNES wrestling games. It looks good, but I didn’t enjoy playing it. The controls took a long time to get used to. The game has a big roster, but those wrestlers don’t feel special. The roster feelsContinue reading “Natsume Championship Wrestling is Good, Not the Best”

WWF Super WrestleMania on the SNES is Disappointing
WWF Super WrestleMania was the first wrestling game published by LJN on the SNES. It isn’t good, but it does show you the direction these games were going in. It has the same control scheme as the other LJN games but leaves the stupid gauge out of the grapples. There isn’t much here. The controlsContinue reading “WWF Super WrestleMania on the SNES is Disappointing”
The Best WWF Game on the SNES
WWF Royal Rumble plays like a better version of WWF Raw. The controls are better, the graphics are about the same, and the roster is about the same. The two games are very similar, but Royal Rumble is better. However, the same issues from WWF Raw are present in Royal Rumble. The characters play theContinue reading “The Best WWF Game on the SNES”
Good Gameplay and Terrible Visuals, HammerLock Wrestling on the SNES
HammerLock Wrestling is much better than I was expecting. I can see why the game might not be considered the best, but it has a lot going for it when compared to the other wrestling games on the SNES. It was surprisingly fun to play! The biggest problem I have is with the visual presentationContinue reading “Good Gameplay and Terrible Visuals, HammerLock Wrestling on the SNES”
Best Shoot’em Ups on the SNES
Shooters, Shoot’em ups, or Shmups were a staple of the 80s and 90s. Many of the arcade games from this period were brought to the home console. Some made improvements to the arcade design, while most were straight ports of the arcade games. The SNES isn’t the system I associate with the genre. Even inContinue reading “Best Shoot’em Ups on the SNES”
