Review – Ninja Gaiden (NES)

1 Player Kick ass classic Ninja action. Graphics 8/10 Pretty good.  The sprites all look like what they are supposed to look like, though the enemies are sometimes kind of weird, the cut scenes are pretty cool and often action packed.  The graphics are good for NES level.  The opening sequence rocks. Music and Sound 9/10 This game has great music too.  Fast paced music that fits the levels well, slower and creepy music when appropriate during the cut scenes.  As for sound effects, they are pretty sharp and quick, which fits the Ninja motif.  Basically they are believable in…

Review – Mega Man: Dr. Wily’s Revenge (GB)

Capcom | 1 Player What's better than a console Mega Man game?  Well not necessarily a portable one, but who am I to say?  Too bad they left out Guts man and Bomb man. Graphics: 7/10 It's Mega Man, what do you expect?  Well ok, the Blue Bomber is now the Grey Bomber and he doesn't change color when a different weapon is equipped.    The sprites seems big as well, which is a plus and a minus.  Plus, they are easy to see, there are less per screen, you don't have to navigate for a mile to exit the screen,…

Review – Mega Man 3 (NES)

1 Player The Mega Man series, the greatest series ever. You must control the Blue Bomber to once again defeat Dr. Wiley.

Music and Sound 9/10 Very good music.  While I was replaying it my brother commented on how cool the music in this game was just out of the…

Review – Mischief Makers (N64)

1 Player Graphics: 9/10 Despite being one of the few 2D games for the N64, I think the graphics on this game are amazing.  Very colorful, very detailed manga styled graphics.  Had this game included actual anime cut scenes it would have possibly been a 10.  Unfortunately the N64 is unsuited for FMV and the cut scenes are limited to sprite movement.  Anyway I really like the look of this game. Music and Sound: 6/10 Nothing too spectacular.  The music is all similarly styled and is ok, but there has been better.  The sound effects are what you would expect,…
