QUOTE(mirocu @ Apr 7 2023, 10:53 AM) Whether or not the NES mini is worth it is of course totally based upon the games preloaded and your preference. So make sure you look it up before buying.
Indeed. Good advice.

QUOTE(mirocu @ Apr 7 2023, 11:28 AM) It comes with 30 games which isn't bad but frankly I'm quite disappointed with the selection. I guess they had to go with Nintendo titles only or something but it's a shame how many awesome games were excluded. I do like the save feature it has though.
Mind you I haven't actually gotten the mini, this is just me talking about what I've heard about it.
I have an SNES mini that I keep at mom’s house for when I’m over there without my Switch, but did not get a NES mini as I didn’t really get serious with video games until the SNES, even though we did have an NES. Games included on the NES mini: Super Mario Bros 1, 2, 3 and Mario Bros Dr. Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, and Donkey Kong Jr., Mega Man, PAC-MAN, Final Fantasy, Metroid, Kirby Adventure, Castlevania, and Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, Ninja Gaiden, Punch OUt Featuring Mr. Dream, Balloon Fight, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, Excitebike, Ice Climber, Kid Icarus, Double Dragon II: The Revenge, Bubble Bobble, Tecmo Bowl, Super C , Galaga, StarTropics, Ghosts'n Goblins, and Gradius. Not complete by any stretch of the imagination, but it has all of the games *most* people would want. A pretty good lineup, all in all.

QUOTE(mirocu @ Apr 7 2023, 12:55 PM) Yeah I guess it's not that bad. Some really good classics in there. Though I honestly have no idea what the heck Techmo Bowl is doing there instead of like the original Contra I think the game called “Super C” is a Contra game. Techmo Bowl is an American football game that was pretty popular here in the States, naturally.

QUOTE(mirocu @ Apr 7 2023, 01:45 PM) Yeah, Super C was the followup to Contra. Haven't played it myself but it looks just as great if not greater. I just think the original is such a classic Yeah, it does surprise me that the original wasn’t included. I don’t remember ever playing a Contra game, but it is a well regarded series.

QUOTE(mirocu @ Apr 6 2024, 02:36 PM) NES My go-to game ten years ago was Bubble Bobble but now I've been playing Dr. Mario on a regular basis for some time as I just love that type of puzzle. I always start on level 10 and Medium speed and go up to level 19 where I usually fail because the viruses are very high up and I can't click fast enough. But just now I actually managed to do that, and I was lucky, so I passed that level and got to level 20 where I did indeed fail. I can do that level on Slow but not on Medium and how some people can do it on Fast is well beyond my comprehension My mom used to stay up late playing Dr.Mario on Gameboy. I never did acquire a taste for games like that though.
