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. LJN published three games on the SNES; they all suffer fromContinue reading “SNES Wrestling Games Ranked from Worst to Best”

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”

Did you know that Saturday Night Slam Masters is part of a series of games? Thanks to the internet, you probably did, assuming you were interested enough to learn about the game. I didn’t know what it was until I started researching it.

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”
The Best Shoot’em Up on the SNES
Area 88 is a side-scrolling shooter based on a Manga and Anime series. It takes place in a fictional Middle Eastern country experiencing a civil war. The manga and the two anime adaptations have different endings. While researching this, I watched the 1985 anime, whose ending is left open-ended. Shin returns to Area 88 toContinue reading “The Best Shoot’em Up on the SNES”
My Favorite Puzzle Games
This is a genre that I don’t play that often. I usually treat them as time-waster games, which I play when I need to think about things or when I need a distraction from something more important. Sometimes these games get ambitious and give you a story mode! The story modes are fun. They’re usuallyContinue reading “My Favorite Puzzle Games”
The Best Arcade Football Series | Tecmo Bowl Retrospective
Tecmo Bowl is a series of six games that started in the arcades and ended on the Xbox Live arcade. These are arcade sports games that are based on American Football. They don’t try to be a realistic simulation of the sport and try to be as accessible to new players as possible. There areContinue reading “The Best Arcade Football Series | Tecmo Bowl Retrospective”
