Re: Three More Konami NES Titles Are Getting Fanmade SNES Ports

@GravyThief They do more than just MSU1 stuff. Like the Metroid port adds an entire map system to the game and an inventory screen. Contra adds the ability to use the L and R buttons to lock your feet in place to free aim like in Contra III, plus Contra III's weapon swapping system. Stuff like that.

Unfortunately, the sprites for the new enemies look incredibly out of place. They don't share the same art direction/design language of the original enemies or the rest of the game at all. Which is pretty off putting. It looks like it plays really well though.

He is absolutely right that it's not as good as Tetris. Honestly, it's not even in the same galaxy as Tetris. I've personally never found Dr. Mario to be very good in general. Nintendo didn't make a Tetris quality puzzle game until Panel de Pon (aka Tetris Attack/Puzzle League). Panel de Pon is the only puzzle game ever made that I feel is as good as Tetris. It's an incredible game.
