Re: Feature: The Man Who Lost Tetris

Great article. I remember being introduced to Tetris via the Tengen version on NES. One of my mom's friends kids had it and when she went to visit them with me I played it. After that I couldn't find it for the life of me all I found was Nintendo's version. When I told people that that wasn't the version of Tetris I played they all though I was crazy.

After awhile I just assumed either he had a copy from another country (I was young and didn't know about region locking) or an early version of the game. I didn't find out till the late 90s thanks to the internet that there was indeed 2 versions of Tetris on the NES.

@NeilFlynnGaming Street Fighter II Turbo was an update of Championship Edition. It gave characters a few new movies, like Chun Li can throw fireballs and had the speed cranked up. New Challengers was the update to that where it introduced Cammy, Fei Long, Dee Jay and Thunder Hawk to the game.

Re: Feature: How Mortal Kombat Defined The Console War Between Sega And Nintendo

Sad thing was the SNES version was my introduction to Mortal Kombat. I remember being in high school and everyone was going on how much better Mortal Kombat was then Street Fighter how it was sooo violent and bloody with hearts being ripped out and stuff.

Well I didn't have an arcade close enough that had it so I had to wait till the SNES got a port to try it I remember playing it and thinking are people kidding this isn't anymore violent then SF. Where's the blood all I see is "sweat" flying around. That's how they rip a heart out of a chest? I was expecting Temple of Doom kinda heart ripping effects.

As a result I hated MK and couldn't see the the fuss people we're making over it and couldn't see how this was better then SF. I just past it off as a SF knock off. I wasn't a fan of the series till I played MK II on the SNES which my brother rented.

@KnightRider666: You would be right, my best friend at the time had one of these. I couldnt believe the price heck I still dont believe that price for a video game system. Still the way things are going I am sure in a few gens the price will be that high.

@coalmoore: I am sorry but it gets old when people start assuming that because this place is called Nintendo Life that only Nintendo stuff can be discussed here. Am I being a jerk no. Are others being sort sighted yes. So I wonder if those people go to a Ford car lot and complain that they are a Ford dealership and why are they selling Dodge, Toyota, etc.

@RantingThespian: You know I am getting sick and tired of people like who who comment stuff like This is Nintendo Life why are you covering X system on a Nintendo fan site? If you are that dense in the world of gaming you need to go elsewhere and leave the stupid comments there. They are other video game manufactors out there than just Nintendo. But I guess if you had opened your eyes you would have seen that.

I got this system a little less than a year ago and I have to say its a good system for collectors and people who are Neo Geo enthusiasts. While it doesn't replace my 3DS as my primary handheld system its nice to have a few Neo Geo games on the go like Metal Slug or Samurai Showdown.

@Phantom_R: I dont think it was over the top honestly. You have to look at it from Capcom's eyes because of Crawfish their product missed the Holiday Season one the biggest shopping time of the year. No telling how much money they missed out on cause their product wasn't there for people to scoop up for presensts. For all we know that bonus that was offered to Crawfish originally could have come from all the extra profit that Capcom would have received during the season. Because they missed out on that who are they going to blame?

Still its sad to hear a company go under especially in this day and age. I owned a GBA but I never did play this version.

Wow going to have to look into this. I have a bunch of NES, SNES and Genesis cartridges that I like to play but I have to admit dragging out the systems and than hooking them up to the tv can be a pain just to play them for an hour or so. This options sounds a whole lot easier.
