Funny thing is that the Hockey game Lynx got was just named "Hockey" but is very similar to "Mario Lemieux Hockey" on the Genesis. Both share staff and were designed by Ed Ringler.
Sega's infamous MD port of Tetris is not a 1:1 port of the arcade and has issues like input delay that really do make it a "meh" port. The Genesis Mini game is a direct port of the Sega arcade game. It doesn't use assets from the earlier MD version.
@GayusGayer Rob Hubbard, not to be confused with L. Ron Hubbard, the scientology guy. He ended up mostly doing music with Electronic Arts games in the late 80s and early 90s.
I dunno about that controller. Side buttons were one of the worst things about older game controllers and this one is embracing them. I love the intellivision (which has some unique games and some nice AC ports), but the controller, while unique and influential, was one of the worst things about the system, especially the Intellivision II version. I'm not sure combining the WiiMote and the Intellivision controller is a good idea.
Dang. This is almost as bad as the way the NES Pyramids of Ra was updated compared to the proto. The proto used a grayscale palette and had no music on sound, but had a menu for choosing between music only, music and fx, and silence. The "final" version uses a SGB style red, black, and white color palette, removes the music options, and only has one tune taken from the GB version that plays non stop. No sound effects either.
Wrestleball doesn't play as Powerball when the MD Mini is set to English. It stays as Wrestleball. It's also worth mentioning, that two of the games in Game no Kanzume Otokoyou , Flicky and Fatal Labyrinth play in English with the MD Mini's language set to English.
