From the article: "Nintendo has come through this week by dropping the fantastic basketball game Double Dribble onto the VC along with the underappreciated gambling sim Vegas Stakes. Sega rounds out the week with Ecco Jr., annother entry from a favorite series."
Like a former star now relegated to the bench, Double Dribble is good to take off the shelf every so often to be reminded of what it once was
You may remember a little while back, when Nintendo Feed took a look back at the much credited Vegas Stakes for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Back in the SNES era, the series gained quite a following, greeting popular demand for a Gameboy portable version. However, Nintendo soon brought the series to a close. Today, we're asking, should Nintendo revive the Vegas Stakes series?
Back in the Super Nintendo Entertainment System days, Nintendo were at their highest point in terms of providing video game entertainment. At the time, Nintendo were publishing some of the highest quality and exciting games on the market. This was also a time when virtual gambling games were a viable alternative to getting down to a real casino. Therefore, it came at no surprised when Nintendo decided to jump on the bandwagon and publish Vegas Stakes on their 16 bit platform.
Gotta love Double Dribble...I'd love it more if it wasn't on my PSP already.
OMFG Double Dribble!! Dude that game was the man back in the day, remember the 3 frame animation when you do a dunk? It was like the coolest thing ever, all we did was dunk. I got it on my PSP too, I should play it now. Only NES games I was playing were Double Dragon 2&3, River City Ransom, and Star Tropics 1&2. Speaking of Star Tropics, I wonder why Nintendo doesn't bring that back. They came out near the end of the NES lifecycle so they didn't get the exposure they should have.
