Weekly updates!? Don’t mind if I do Guess that means that we’ll get DKL 3, DK94 and DK64 over the next few weeks then. Edit: Oh wait, I forgot about DKC GBC and the GBA games (DKC 1-3, King of Swing and Mario VS DK). Plenty more DK that they could put out! (King of Swing is great BTW! Very underrated!) -
Donkey Kong Land 2 was just added to NSO -
Hydro Thunder is pretty good. It’s no Waverace, but it’s one of the better water-based racers out there. The N64 port is alright, but it’s pretty mediocre in comparison to the absolute miracle that was the PS1 port. Seriously! The PS1 port is far better than it has any right to be, and actually runs at a better framerate than the N64 version; with some additional special effects not found in the N64 version to boot! Still, the N64 version is the only one that supports 3-4 players (not even the Dreamcast/Xbox/GCN/PS2 versions support more than 2 player splitscreen), so that’s a pretty significant feather in the N64’s cap here; despite requiring the Expansion Pak to do so. You can’t really go wrong with any version of Hydro Thunder though. It’s cheesy Midway carney arcade fun at its best

The main inspiration was Breath of Fire 3, with Dark Cloud inspiring the town building sections. Had a holiday from work today and so cranked out a few more games. My physical copy finally arrived. Absolutely fantastic collection of games. These are some of my all time fav 2D fighting games and to have them in a single collection, and on a modern platform, is a dream come true. It was nice to actually play a version of COTA that doesn't run like garbage. I had it on both the Saturn and PS1 when I was younger and neither of them ran that well. I'll always appreciate Capcom and Marvel using Onslaught as a final boss in MvC. It was a huge event in the comics at the time and having him appear in a game as the big bad was fantastic. Playing it again, I completely forgot they even used his famous quote ("Behold my mighty hand!") in the game. Good stuff. Due to me not doing PC gaming or faffing on with emulators, I've never had the opportunity to play The Punisher. It's a shame it's taken this long to make it widely available but it was worth the wait. It's a classic Capcom scrolling beat-em up with a Marvel skin attached. Loved every second of it. Most of these games were a big part of my teenage years and playing them all again was such a nostalgia trip. What's impressive is that everyone single one of them holds up. Playing them in order of release (had to complete every game for platinum) you can see how each of the games gets tweaked and refined until you are left with the perfection that is MvC2. From one collection to another... I was looking forward to revisiting the SNES and Mega Drive games in this collection. I played both of them when I was a kid and remember enjoying them. I played through the other games in the collection first. I have memories of playing the Gameboy game but have no idea where or when. I don't recall owning it but certainly remember parts of the game. Very weird. The second Mega Drive game was pretty frustrating. For some reason it was the only game in the collection that required me to complete it on hard difficulty for a trophy. The levels themselves are very confusing and with enemies constantly respawning, it made for slow progress. Also, for some reason you aren't allowed to kill a lot of dinosaurs. If you do, you fail the mission. It isn't really explained and I didn't realise what it was all about until halfway through the game. I really enjoyed playing the first Mega Drive JP game. It's a fun action/platformer and it allows to play as both dinosaur and human characters. The raptor takes some getting used to but is fun enough to use once you get the hang of it. It's a game I never owned myself but played the hell out of it when my friend came on holiday with me and he brought his Mega Drive. The SNES game...yeah, this wasn't good at all and certainly didn't live up to my memories. I do remember it being tough and I never did complete it as a kid but I remember having fun with it. Not so much now. The main map is a bit of a confusing mess. You are constantly met with barriers that need lifting by going into the buildings and using the computers. These sections are an FPS but they run like garbage and the controls are very fiddly. At least if you clear these areas out of enemies they never respawn upong revisiting them. Had the game kept to a top down shooter like it is in the overworld, I think it would have been a far better experience. Due to its difficulty, I imagine the game featured heavily in hints and tips sections of gaming magazines at the time. I vaguely remember having a map with all of the dino egg locations on it but I'm not sure if that came with the game or if I got it from something like Gamesmaster/Nintendo magazine.
