Eurogamer takes a look at a handful of WiiWare titles: "The long-awaited debut of WiiWare finally puts Nintendo in direct competition with Microsoft and Sony in the realm of downloadable original software. They've certainly started strongly, with developers like Frontier and Square both helping to expand our expectations of what a downloadable game can offer. But this latest addition to the Wii arsenal also works to the detriment of the Virtual Console, a service which has long been blighted by arbitrary pricing and often baffling selections. Will Nintendo be able to keep charging 800 Wii Points for less-than-stellar SNES games when just a few hundred points more can purchase something like LostWinds?"
Despite skyrocketing retro game prices the NES remains a deep trove of excellent games that, if you can avoid eBay sellers, are really quite affordable for new collectors.
Double Dragon 2 is one of the best!! Several good games on this list! Shadowgate, P.O.W., and Klax. That is actually a super fun puzzle game! TMNT, I think every time after the seaweed, I only had like 1 Turtle left. lol
"There's something about dropping 2-tile puzzle pieces only to set up and trigger a cascade of combos that's super-satisfying so let's take a look at these 2 classic puzzler franchises and figure out which one is superior." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Puyo Puyo gets my vote. I always preferred Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine to Dr. Mario. It was a Sonic themed Puyo Puyo game so that's why I mentioned it.
