I have 2 and 1 I totally regret. The 1 I absolutley love says I AM... and if you were to make it blck letters it would just be the sahdows of the letters. Wish I could put a pic here. Anyway l, welcome to the tattoo clan!

Yoshi's Cookie is so much fun on the NES!!! Also Kirby's Adventure rocked! Put in tons of hours into those games back in the day & still do! I remember in 1993 being a babysitter for our neighbors after school & they had a NES, but the 2 boys were too young to know how to play them, so I would "teach them" & just play their NES the whole time while they watch me. I remember they really enjoyed Kirby's Adventure...Easiest babysitting job ever!

I was only 8 back then but after seeing Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat on the SNES and Genesis and realizing none of the games (including new games and sequels) that I wanted to play were ever coming to the NES I really lost interest in the NES and became obsessed with obtaining a Genesis or SNES.

1993 was when the 80s tried to be the last hurrah but people were so done with them by then! Yeah with "Indiana Jones & TLC" (lol), the movie came out when I was 9, and 1993 was when I was 13 so bringing up anything that was popular when I was 9 at that age was going to get some "you're still talking about that?" looks. Same with DuckTales. ironically, they probably would have done better on the 16 bit consoles or N64 after some years pass and 80s nostalgia starts kicking in, lol

I don’t know why, but in terms of retro consoles, I’ve always preferred games that push graphics on an older console over better graphics on a newer console. I guess it’s the novelty of seeing parallax scrolling or digitized voices on NES, whereas those would be standard features on SNES. Jurassic Park is a good example for comparison; the graphics are okay for SNES, but really good for NES, making the older version seem more impressive by the standards of the hardware.

Like this kind of videos! Do you believe that the NES started to get really popular among kids here only in Italy only AFTER 1993? That happened because Nintendo prices were INSANE here, so we had to wait the arrival Super Nintendo to get more honest prices. At that point, NES clones started to be featured in electronic stuff and games stores, so that was THE combo for we italian kids of the 90s: NES games and...a Famiclone! I've lost the count of how many times I've rented Kirby's Adventure in the mid 90s...wow!

I received Bubble Bobble Part 2 as a birthday gift way back when it was brand new, have had it ever since, and it wasn't until way later in life when I realized its value shot through the freaking roof! Also, to put the finger on why it feels so off compared to the original, it's because it's a lot more "scripted". There's way fewer powerups and you usually find the same ones in the same spots, whereas in the original game the powerups were much more wild and there were many more, thus it never played the same way twice! :D

You were dead on about Tiny Toon Adventures 2, what you said about it echoes my sentiments about it exactly! Everything from Konami back then…we just took them for granted. Every time you saw the Konami logo on a box you knew you’d get that high quality in every way experience-you couldn’t go wrong with them! Pretty much all their games based on licensed characters were fantastic. When the first NES Tiny Toons game came out, it was a really pleasant surprise-it was a heavily Mario inspired game that although it didn’t do anything ground breaking we hadn’t seen before it did what it did very well! Sold great and was a surprise hit for Konami. I remember reading in a magazine they were doing a sequel and was excited for it! I still don’t know how to feel about that sequel to this day 30 years later John, I truly don’t. It’s absolutely got that great Konami high quality we came to expect from them. Great graphics, good sound, controls pretty well. The issue is what you said, the approach the concept. I give em credit, the direction they took it in was gutsy but like you I feel it should have just been a traditional platformer sequel. I really feel at least the first Game Boy Tiny Toons game should have been developed for the NES instead as Tiny Toons 2 and Wackyland could have been done later if they were heartset on it.

That 1993 Ms. Pac-Man release is even stranger because a much better version had already appeared on the console 3 years earlier... from Tengen! They seemed to have a pattern of this, though unlike with Tetris, their Ms. Pac-Man didn't get taken down by a legal challenge. Anyway, the Tengen version was much more arcade-accurate graphically, though it also had to scroll the mazes up and down to keep the original aspect ratio intact. It also had a ton of additional mazes, broken up into categories like "Big" and "Strange", and a turbo speed option that could be used either with a button press or just turned on permanently. It's so much better than the Namco version there's really no comparison.
