Well it doesn't... adding it could be nice, but it would also mean they'd add a lot more enemies and stuff... keeping 2-direction firing makes it simpler, which isn't a bad thing unless the game really badly needs more firing directions... they have never been designed for them before...
Quote:It's bad by Mario standards, which doesn't mean that it's a bad game. It's just much worse than any other Mario game.
It wasn't bad by Mario standards... all Mario platformers are good games. Its just not as great as most of the rest...
Quote:I liked Micro Machines on the PC, but never played the GB game. Same goes for Mole Mania. I don't love Kirby 2 and Wario Land. Fun games, but not amazing.
I own Micro Machines 1 for GB, MM 1&2 for GBC, and MMV3 for GBC... as well as MM2: Turbo Tournament for PC. All of them are fun games... but yeah it is better on PC, if just because you can see more of the track at once... considering the GB's screensize though they are very good games...
Oh, and you must be thinking of a different game... Mole Mania is a 1st party Nintendo (puzzle game, reminiscent of Lolo) game and isn't on the PC... unless you meant emulation?
And IMO, those two platformers are both REALLY good...
Quote:There are only a few GB games that I consider to be great, while there a few more on the GBC that I consider to be great. You have the Oracle games, LA DX, SMB DX, Metal Gear, Harvest Moon, Dragon Warrior III, and a couple of others.
For some strange reason, I have a funny feeling that in 9 years (1989 - 1998) the GB had more good games than the GBC did in 2 1/2 (late 1998 - summer 2000)? Nah, silly me... who cares about which one had WAY more games (and, IMO, a similar ratio of good to bad games -- almost all Nintendo ones are good and a very small number of 3rd party ones are...)? Not you, that's for sure... and it defies sanity and logic...
Was it a great system? Yes, absolutely... and if you include the whole GB lineup in its game selection its even maybe the better one. But you shouldn't... only GB-only (and dual-mode) games should count for GB and vice versa... and when you look at those good game lists, the GB's is so much longer...
